Title: Problems with versions unknown
Post by: micropalla on September 04, 2012, 07:48:03 AM
Hello.
I've Joomla! 2.5.6 and I've installed VM 2.0.8 some days ago.
On bottom left the system told me there was an update available so I tried to install it automatically.
After nothing happened I did a manual installation simply overwriting the existing files with the new ones and updating also obviously the DB.
To do this I downloaded the last version of VM, 2.0.10.

Now everything is ok, but I still have got on the bottom left the advice to update to VM 2.0.10!
And the strange thing is that if I go in Extensions Manager, all VM Extensions seems to be update to version 2.0.8e and NOT to 2.0.10.
Of course I'm sure the package I've manually installed was 2.0.10, so where is the problem? Why it seems I've installed 2.0.8e and not 2.0.10?

What have I got to do to have the last version installed?
Hope someone can help me...

I followed the instructions but nothing happened.
I've still the alert for a new update!
I tried to refresh thw browser and also to refresh VM button "verify new update" but nothing happened.
Any ideas?

Thank you but unfortunately I don't have that button.
I've got these two:

"Update to last version" and "Verify new updates availability"

I think with your way of updating you don't have a way to update some part(s) of the database. Use the correct installation method, Joomla's Extension Manager, to reinstall the VM2.0.10 packages, com_virtuemart.2.0.10.tar.gz and com_virtuemart.2.0.10_ext_aio.tar.gz  - this will not overwrite your products & settings but will update any corrupt files and database entries.  Do this on a site backup!
