@LukeDouglas2 The downloaded zip could not be installed. Please use the attached package which is built from source code. It should be installed properly and worked well. Please report the result back to us after you install and use this package. Thanks

pkg-weblinks-4.0.0-dev.zip

LukeDouglas2 commented 3 years ago

Thanks. That installed properly.

However, in the Joomla Update Pre-Update Check for Joomla 3.10.1, in the Extensions Pre-Update Check group (red bar), it still shows weblinks there.

Web Links Extension Package Package 4.0.0-dev No Compatibility Information No Compatibility Information

I am assuming that there is some type of XML file that shows the compatibility which is not found by the Joomla Update.

When I go to the Weblinks component, I get this message:

An error has occurred. 404 Component not found.

I enabled the Error Reporting to 'Development' and went back to the Component but got the same error message with nothing else.

In the Chrome Development Inspect > Console, I reloaded the page and it shows the error:

/administrator/index.php?option=com_weblinks:1 GET https://alabamavictimsmemorial.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_weblinks 404 (Not Found)

I hope this helps. If you find a solution, please let me know.

That weblinks package only works with Joomla 4. You want the package which works on Joomla 3.10.0 ?

LukeDouglas2 commented 3 years ago

So install it after I upgrade to Joomla 4! Got it!

joomdonation commented 3 years ago

Yes. If you want latest package which works with Joomla 3.10, please use this one.

Please be careful with upgrading to Joomla 4 if you want to do. Make sure you made a backup copy of your site, make sure all the extensions use on your site are compatible with Joomla 4, make sure the template you want to use is compatible with Joomla 4.....

I've used Joomla since the split from Mambo in 2005. Very experienced but just not at a core development level as I leave that up to others.

I've even written a tutorial on how to safetly upgrade to Joomla 4. :)

Ah, great :). I was worry too much since I heard some users too rush update sites to Joomla 4 without carefully planning and got their sites broken :(
