Bug in JA Extensions Manager

[coalition]

I continue to get this error whenever I run Joomla's updater from the joomla 2.5.3 admin panel.

"

• Update: :Collection: Could not open http://update.joomlart.com/service/tracking/list.xml /update.xml"

Hi,

This is not actually a bug, but as you already know JA software is commercial so i guess it's a permission issue, that's why we suggest using JA Extension Manager to update JA products.

The strange thing is that i haven't seen this error on any J2.5.x site, unless you have an old version of JA Extension Manager.

No, this is definitely a bug. Look at the URl in the post. There is a space after "xml" and before the "/." JA Extension manager seems to work alright, but using the core joomla 2.5.3 updater produces the error below. Even though JA products are commercial, these types of errors should not be occurring. I am using the latest JA Extension Manager component.

Hi,

I have informed our dev's to take a look on than and we will reply as soon as possible.
The strange thing is that no matter what i have tried i wasn't able to reproduce that issue, even though i was getting this when Joomla 2.5.0 was out.

Dear Colition,

Please open xml manifest file of our extensions, then find the code snippet

<updateservers>
        <server type="collection">http://update.joomlart.com/service/tracking/list.xml</server>
    </updateservers>

Please remove all white spaces before and after the link 'http://update.joomlart.com/service/tracking/list.xml' if any.
E.g:
Before

<updateservers>
        <server type="collection">
             http://update.joomlart.com/service/tracking/list.xml
       </server>
    </updateservers>

After:

<updateservers>
        <server type="collection">http://update.joomlart.com/service/tracking/list.xml</server>
    </updateservers>

it's better to edit :

[joomla directory] \libraries\joomla\updater\adapters\collection.php

on line : 214
change this code :

$url = $options['location']; 

to :

$url = trim($options['location']); 

and the problem will be solved for ever !

Yes, you're right.

But the better way is that you should raise an issue on official Joomla Issue Tracker system rather than hacking core code
