1.6 package manifest file

[Marco Barbosa]

Hello!

With Joomla 1.6 now you can install a "package" that can consist of a
module, template, languages etc

I was wondering what is the manifest file for it ?

I need a manifest.xml that installs a administrator template and a few
modules, what is the syntax ?

I would look in the examples at development/trunk/tests/_data/installer_packages/

Hello Ian!

Thanks for the instant reply :)

Do you know why does it try to create a folder in the "library"
folder ?

I'm getting this:

* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Package Install: Failed to create directory:/srv/http/
joomla16/libraries/minima

And I'm just installing a admin template and 2 admin modules.

Is that normal?

Strangeness, I will have a look at it.

So gave write permission to libraries just to work around this for
now, but I still can't install it

This is my manifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<install type="package" version="1.6">
<name>Minima</name>
<packager>Marco Barbosa</packager>
<packagename>minima</packagename>
<packagerurl>http://marcobarbosa.com</packagerurl>
<version>1.0</version>
<description>Minima administrator template for Joomla 1.6</
description>
<files folder="packages">
<file type="template" id="minima" client="admin">minima.zip</
file>
<file type="module" id="mod_compmenu"
client="admin">mod_compmenu.zip</file>
<file type="module" id="mod_shortcuts"
client="admin">mod_shortcuts.zip</file>
</files>
</install>

I pack this manifest together with those 3 zip files mentioned.
Installation gives me:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Install path does not exist
* Package Install: There was an error installing an extension:
minima.zip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error installing package
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas ?

Looks like an old version of the file is in trunk. I'll update a copy
of the file I have that doesn't appear to have hit trunk and merge it
in over the weekend.

Hi Sam!

Did you update the trunk?

I'm still getting:

* Package Install: Failed to create directory:/srv/http/

joomladev/libraries/minima

Giving the "libraries" folder write permission I get:

* Install path does not exist
* Package Install: There was an error installing an extension:
minima.zip

Let me know when it''s updated so I can try again.

As an update, Marco and Sam worked on this on the tracker and as of
few days ago, this was fixed
