Hi, i've a notify for FOF 3.x Stable upgrade from 3.7.1 to 3.7.4 but i've installed AdminTools 6.0.3 and Akeeba Backup 8.0.2

Is it still necessary ?

I've tried to uninstall it but i receive this err:

500 <p>You have 1 extension(s) depending on this version of FOF. The package cannot be uninstalled unless these extensions are uninstalled first.</p>

 

Some help ?

Thanks

It is probably no longer needed but I can't tell you for sure. Not only do we publish a heck of a lot more extensions than the ones that have a paid version but FOF 3 may also be used by third party extensions that have nothing to do with us.

If you want to see what is the dependency it's complaining about check your site's #__akeeba_common table. There's a row with key = fof30. The value is a JSON-encoded array of extensions which depend on FOF 3. Let me know what this reads. If it's something inconsequential you can delete that database row and FOF 3 will allow you to uninstall it.

I only have one row with key = fof30 and value = ["com_akeeba"]

so can i delete it and uninstall ?

Yes, you can. Akeeba Backup 8.0.2 no longer uses FOF 3 so it's safe to delete.
