Joomla! version: 2.5.2
PHP version: 5.3.8
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: Rochen
Admin Tools version: 2.2.0 Pro

Description of my issue:

Is there an issue with updating 2.5.1 to 2.5.2 with Admin Tools Pro? I read this on the J! forums:

"From what I read elsewhere, it looks like there is a known issue with Admin Tools from the Akeeba team that is causing some of the older version SQL updates to be re-run. From Nicholas' statement on his support system, it should be a one time error based on a change in the Admin Tools 2.2 release. This is why some folks are getting the second version module in admin or their blacklist data being reset."

Cheers,

Dave.

Is that it?! I was concerned there may be more, as there have been a few reports of upgrades not working well and issues over Blacklists, etc.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest :)

You're absolutely right.

I do think though that in this case Joomla! didn't help much, by stating very clearly that people should upgrade to 2.5.0 immediately when it came out. I've still got several sites running 1.7.5 because the extensions haven't been updated and/or I can't find alternatives. It's certainly a minority of extensions now, but nevertheless, I know that if I simply hit the upgrade button things will probably break.

Joomla! is incredible, but I think that part was handled quite badly by the team and inexperienced users really do think you can just press a button and carry on..

Cheers,

Dave.
