Summary
Introduction & Engagement –
Tim Davis welcomes viewers, encourages live interaction, and asks them to like the video to help with visibility.
The Joomla Extension Update Issue –
Tim explains a persistent problem on a client’s Joomla site where extensions appeared to update but still showed as needing updates upon refresh.
Manifest Cache Discovery –
The issue was traced to the manifest cache, which stores extension version information. The site wasn’t updating properly due to outdated cache records.
Contest Winner Announcement –
Emmanuel Rodriguez won a Joomla giveaway, including a membership for MyJoomla.com and a Regular Labs extension subscription.
Initial Troubleshooting Steps –
Tim attempted clearing the update cache within Joomla’s update section, but this didn’t resolve the issue.
Database Investigation –
He explored the Joomla database, specifically the extensions table, modifying version data and deleting some entries but still couldn't fix the problem.
The Key Fix: Refreshing the Extensions Cache –
While in the Manage Extensions section, Tim noticed a "Refresh Cache" button, which differed from the update section’s "Clear Cache" button.
Applying the Solution –
He selected all extensions (over 200) and refreshed the cache, forcing Joomla to rescan the manifest data and recognize the correct extension versions.
Results & Reflection –
The issue was resolved, but the exact cause remained unknown. Tim acknowledges that Joomla can sometimes feel like "rocket science."
Closing & Call to Action –
He thanks viewers, encourages them to subscribe, and reminds them to join future Maintenance Monday live streams.
