Hi,

I successfully installed the free Admin Toolscore in Joomla 1.6 Beta 14, and it worked beautifully. I decided that I wanted the extra features available in the pro-version, but can't seem to install it. I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JInstaller::getParent() in /home/*****/public_html/administrator/components/com_admintools/install.admintools.php on line 231

line 231 = $src = $parent->getParent()->getPath('source')

I got this error both when I tried to install the pro version over the free one, and when I deleted the free version and tried a fresh install. Oddly, the installer for the free core has this same line, and installs without problem. Any ideas or work-arounds?

Quck update,

I was able to install the pro version on Joomla 1.6 (now Beta 15) as follows: First unzipped the pro package on my desktop to retrieve the plg_admintools folder. Zipped that and installed it into my site's tmp directory using cPANEL. Then went back to my sites extension manager and installed the plugin zip using the "from directory" mode, specifying the /tmp/admintools. Unzipped it on the server and threw away the zip.

At this point I could install the pro version on top of the existing free core installation, but, and this took me a while to figure out, ONLY IF I CONNECTED WITHOUT SSL, that is with an http rather than an https connection.

I hope this is of some use to others, and sorry for asking a boneheaded question,

This sounds like a bug in Joomla! itself. The extensions installer should work no matter if you're using HTTP or HTTPS. Could you file a bug report to the Joomla! bug tracker please?
