 Hi,

recently, there is new Joomla! update to version 3.4.1. I noticed this and was waiting for email from my sites. But no comes. I checked the settings and everything seems Ok. If I manually change the 'atoolsjupdatecheck_lastrun' value to be far in past, email is send immidiatelly. If I enable 'ATJUPDATEDEBUG' in plugin itself, email is also sent, so I do not think, that there is some misconfiguration, or emailing (spam) problem.

I have aprox. 10 websites with this functionality enabled, but no email received. It has various PHP versions, various MySQL versions, various hosts, various hostings. Cache time in com_installer is everywhere left to default 6 hours.

Also I noticed that language selection functionality is not functional in the plugin, but remains in its configuration.

In current version there is typo in the email text: 'nJoomla! version currently installed' - additional leading n.

Finally, I noticed that Super Administrators are checked by checking hard coded Group Id 8, which is Joomla initial Super administrators group, but could changed (it was issue on one of my sites). Would be great to have this optional, or at least documented, as it influeance the functionality a lot.

best regards

Hello Nicholas,

I checked that value, and no, it is not in the future. If I add some echoes directly in the plugin it shows me this:

$now: 1427214406 - 2015-03-24T17:26:46+01:00
$last: 1427196231 - 2015-03-24T12:23:51+01:00
$now-$last: 18175
$cache_timeout: 21600

So at this moment no update email should be send, that is correct, however it wasn't send even in past 6 hours, according to $last it should be checked (and sent) at 12:23, which is strange.

And yes, if I delete the value in database (or lower it manually), email is correctly sent. Seems to me, like if the value is updated in database correctly, but email is not sent at that time for some reason. I will try to add some logs to get more overview what is going on.

Regarding language selection: I understand that, removing the option would be great, not to confuse administrators.

Regarding group id: maybe simplest solution would be to have option in plugins configuration to select group id of Super Administrators, which would default to 8.

To be honest it is confusing. Seems like, when the plugin is triggered by opening site from my computer, everything works well. However if I leave the site running, I do not receive any update email (from any of my sites).

It does not look like, there is an update cache issue, as changing the timestamp in database, removing it, enabling debug and after invoking plugin from my computer works well. Maybe there could be some conflict with web firewall, as I use GeoIP blocking?

I add detailed logging in plugin itself and will leeve it to its own life. If I will discover something, I will let you know.

Good news about group id :)
