Joomla updates

[Webdongle Elgnodbew]

1. Components >>> Joomla update >>> Live update ... update
   and
2. Components >>> Joomla update >>> Live update ... update ... with the update file in /tmp
   and
3. Components >>> Joomla update >>> Upload/update
   and
4. Components >>> Joomla update >>> Live update >>> Clear cache ... Reninstall Joomla core files

Do all the methods run the Joomla update completly ... update sql files etc ?

[brian teeman]

yes 

at least they are supposed to

[Webdongle Elgnodbew]

Thanks Brian
Just wanted to double check before I made a post in the forum

#4 for sure does not make changes to the database since that replaces i believe only the core-files. @Brian please correct me if I am wrong?

Hello,
please, how can i test the "Components >>> Joomla update >>> Live update ... update ... with the update file in /tmp"  ?

Hi Leo

#4 was the one I'm not sure about

[Webdongle Elgnodbew]

Hi Alex

Test on localhost and disconnect the cable(turn of the wifi) internet connection ?

[AlexRed]

I try it but not work

#4 follows the same procedure as the others. When there are database updates they are processed.

Obviously, the database updates are only processed once. When the original update processed them succesfully, any subsequent Reinstall won't process them again.
Unless you manipulate the information in the database, of course.

So, the text on the button is misleading, it is not only replenishing the core files. It is doing everything an update should do. It doesn't process database updates that are already processed, so it doesn't behave like ->Fix.

Did not know that. Thanks for clarifying Marcel!

Hi Leo

As an experiment I ran

ALTER TABLE `vfe0x_languages` DROP COLUMN `asset_id`

in phpMyAdmin

Deleted 3.6.0-2016-06-05.sql from /administrator\components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql  

Used the Database fix so the data in the Schema Table matched the (now) last file in /administrator\components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql 

Navigated to Components >>> Joomla update ... cleared cache and reinstalled Joomla core files.

Checked the database and the `asset_id` column had been inserted in the languages Table

So the Reinstall Joomla core files option does run the update sql files in accordance with the data in the schema Table.

Which is what I said in the first post. But just ignore me

Hi Brian

I was not intending to ignore you ... was experimenting with different scenarios and that was one of the experiments.

[Leo Lammerink]

A suggestion in that case which was mentioned earlier I believe. We should rename this since "reinstall core-files" is being interpreted by many (including myself) as what is mentioned: 'reinstalling files'

[sovainfo]

See https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/11781

@Leo Tried it, but being ignored again!

So, create a language override for:
COM_JOOMLAUPDATE_VIEW_DEFAULT_INSTALLAGAIN="Reinstall Joomla core files"

Consider my last suggestion the most appropriate:
COM_JOOMLAUPDATE_VIEW_DEFAULT_INSTALLAGAIN="Apply update"
