I am successfully using JRemote, and it is a real time saver. I am getting e-mails generated after a successful backup using JRemote though. The e-mails are sent to all Super Administrators, and on some sites there are several. The e-mails though are not properly generated.

The subject of the e-mail is always: EMAIL_SUBJECT_OK
The body of the e-mail is always: EMAIL_BODY_OK

This is confusing people who get the e-mails, and generating lots of questions.

Any ideas what is wrong with the e-mails, and why it isn't properly pulling the text from the language file for the subject and the body?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This is something I am working on. Basically, it looks like it doesn't load the language file at all from the XML-RPC plugin. It's on my short-term TO-DO list.

Glad to know it is on your radar. I'm not trying to rush you, but when do you think it will be fixed? Just wanting to tell my users something. Thank you for all the great work!

I am a bit over my head these days, I expect to have this sorted out and tested by the end of this week.

Wow. Thank you. That is a much faster turn around that I was expecting. If you need anything tested, please let me know. I would be happy to test out a build for you if you need it.

This problem seems to be still unsolved as I got such emails using JPRemote on several installations.

Joomla 1.5.11 (everywhere)
JoomlaPack 2.2.1 (everywhere)
German Language as default selected.

Any news about that?

This should be working, you need to put in the notice email address in JoomlaPack Configuration, under Common Settings, on the Front End pane. If you leave that field blank, all Super Administrators get the email notice.

That wouldn't bother me as long as they get a message they really understand and not just a INI String.
I'll play around with the settings.
May be I get that because I upgraded some old versions.

There were problems in early versions with language strings, but that has been resolved. If your native language isn't supported by JoomlaPack, it should use English. You should not be getting the internal strings in the email.

What language are you using in the back end?

So note that you must use plg_jpremote 2009.3 for the translation to work properly. Older versions had some problems with this.

Hmm... strange.
Cause I just set up a fresh testing install using the german full package of Joomla, installed JoomlaPack and it's remote plugin and did a remote backup.
Got again an email with "EMAIL_BODY_OK" as body.

Then I changed both, admin and front, language to english and did again a backup. Same result.

Nicholas or Dale do you want to check that install out?
PM me if so.

Do you also use the latest JoomlaPack release (2.1.1 at the time of this writing)? The fix was two-fold. I can't seem to be able to replicate this on local and live installations. Where did you download the German package from? Our official distribution consists of only the locations you see on JoomlaPack.net's Download page. Third-party releases might be incomplete or introduce problems beyond us.

The "JoomlaPack Remoting XMLRPC services" plug-in comes in versions as well. The current release is 2009.3, which is part of the Native Tools 2009.3 distribution. Since this is the link between your local PC and your site (and responsible for loading the languages), I was wondering which version you're using, so that I can investigate the problem and fix any problems for the next release of the Native Tools.

Stupid me.
Couldn't find the version number last time.
Checked again in jpremote.php:
installed: define('JPRemoteAPIVersion','1.0');
current: define('JPRemoteAPIVersion','2.0');

After installing the new version downloaded from the site it showed me this text (previously I changed languages to English):

JoomlaPack has completed backing up your site using the front-end backup feature. You may visit the site's administrator section to download the backup.

And after changing back to german and doing a backup again, the same message came.

So if it's not a bug that the success message isn't translated into german then everything's OK...

Let's see how the translation feature works. First, JoomlaPack loads the English files, as a safe default (makes sense, right?). Then, it asks Joomla! "please tell me what's the user's preferred language" and loads those files as well.

Hold on a second. How does Joomla! know what is the user's preferred language? Joomla! defaults to the site's default language, as set in the Extensions -> Languages menu. If a user is logged in, it overrides this setting with the user's preference.

Since the JoomlaPack XML-RPC plugin does not really "log you in" (it simply checks that the username and password belong to an existing user), the language which the plug-in picks up is the site's default language. In your case, I guess it's English.

All right. That's the theory. If your site's default language is Deutsch instead of English (the star icon is besides Deutsch) then, yes, this would be a bug. If not, it's not a bug, it's just a weird feature :D

Well then, it IS a bug.
When I said I changed back to Deutsch I meant the default setting for the front and the back of the site.
And by the way my user's language settings aren't set specifically so I assume that it takes the default settings of the site, right?

I PM you the login for this testing environment I set up...
I guess that way you really can check the settings etc.

By the way thanks for the detailed answers!

Oh! I guess I forgot to test this feature with a non-English default language :oops: Login to the test site is not necessary, I can see what you mean in my local testing server. This will be fixed in the next formal release of JoomlaPack Native Tools.
