Hi everybody,

This is a cosmetic issue caused by a bug in Joomla! 1.6's administrator control panel component. This bug is fixed in Joomla! 1.7 and presumably on Joomla! 1.6.4 which will be released tomorrow. You can safely ignore it, as it is only a cosmetic issue, not a functional issue (AT works perfectly despite this warning).

Given that this is a Joomla! bug (not an AT bug) and that it supposed to be solved in the new Joomla! release tomorrow, I am not going to push out a new release. You can simply ignore this message for 24 hours, until you install Joomla! 1.6.4.

Technical details:
As per the Joomla! coding standards, our "System - Admin Tools Professional" plugin calls one of Admin Tools models using the following code:

		JModel::addIncludePath(JPATH_ROOT.'/administrator/components/com_admintools/models');
$this->cparams = JModel::getInstance('Storage','AdmintoolsModel');

The first line instruct's Joomla! model loader to look in our component's back-end directory for module files, whereas the second line loads the model.

Under Joomla! 1.6.3 the first line does work properly, but causes the error message to be printed out. The problem is that com_cpanel, Joomla! 1.6's administrator control panel component, has a bug which instructs Joomla!'s model loader to look for an inexistent model class. This goes unnoticed until you ask the model loader to add a new path or load a different class. In that case the model loader tries to perform a self-check, sees that there is one leftover class which it can't load and complains.

Workaround
If you are concerned that you can't go with this error message on client sites, please edit plugins/system/admintools/admintools/core.php and –if you are a subscriber to the Professional release– plugins/system/admintools/admintools/pro.php. Find the following line:

JModel::addIncludePath(JPATH_ROOT.'/administrator/components/com_admintools/models');

and replace it with:

require_once JPATH_ROOT.'/administrator/components/com_admintools/models/storage.php';

This will cause the message to go away, by going around the Joomla! model loader code which exposes the bug in Joomla!'s com_cpanel.

I am glad it's working now :)

Both issues fixed in 2.1.1. Please upgrade. Thank you!

As the case has been ever since Admin Tools' inception, the update information is cached for 6 hours (otherwise you would overload our server and crash it, as it happened when I removed that caching from Akeeba Backup a month ago). You can either wait for 6 hours or click the button -even though it's a green checkmark- and click on "Reload update information".

Thanks, slaes! I code at machine-gun rate these days :D

ROFL! Not even close :D But I really enjoy the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It's amazingly sturdy for such a light weight, low profile keyboard. And even after three weeks of 10-14hr/day coding sessions, its battery still reads "100%".

I just made a slight adjustment on our server just a few minutes ago. Normally, using the "Reload update information" should work now. Can you retry, please? Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you for the feedback :)
