Hi everybody,

I'm running version 2.3.3 of JoomlaPack on a 1.5.11-installation of Joomla. I'm hosting a download directory on my website that includes about a dozen files each at least 100mb in size. Since backing up this amount of data is not really an option and I only need backups of my Joomla installation, I wanted to exclude the folder from any backup. But once I click on "Toggle" to exclude the folder, nothing happens. I have tried it on two installations using both Firefox and IE8, nothing happens. No JS error, no highlight, nothing whatsoever. When I go on and take a backup, the folder is still included in my backup files.

Any ideas where this behavior might come from?

Thanks for reading and best whishes,
MrMister


BTW: When clicking on table view, I receive the following error:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in htdocs\libraries\joomla\database\database\mysql.php on line 344

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in htdocs\administrator\components\com_joomlapack\views\def\tmpl\default_tab.php on line 38

On the JoomlaPack Configuration screen, on the Advanced pane, switch from AJAX to JavaScript. That may get you around the problem.

We have had problems in the past with the table itself not being created with the install. I haven't seen that in a while. Check your database for the table jos_jp_exclusion.

You may want to consider excluding the contents of the folder, not the folder itself. A restored site will expect the folder to be there.

I have the same problem as MrMister. Unfortunately switching from AJAX to Javascript doesn't repair the problem. And I have jos_jp_exclusion table in my database. It is totally empty and it has three fields (id, class, value). So... any idea?

I am running JoomlaPack svn577M on Joomla 1.5.14

Thanks in advance

I just hate it when you guys go through my entire bag of tricks before you even post. :lol:

I'll flag this one for Nicholas, he has more tricks.

No rows added :-(

I am sorry because I have no more clues. The only strange thing is the error message that MrMister already reported and it appears when you switch to tab view.

I have backed up with no problems but I can't exclude directories. I am going on testing just in case I find something significative... In my log file appears from time to time this info message:

but I don't think it is related

thanks

I have collected this info from phpmyadmin:

MySQL client version: 5.0.51a
Used PHP extensions: mysql

Similar errors appear for the other options related with the folders and files exclusion and inclusion

:-(

Great¡

I did what you tell me and now it works perfectly :-)

After I unistalled Joomlpack component it lefts one table in the database. Its name was jos_jp_packvars (or something similar). I deleted it and then I checked the directories but none was there. I reinstalled the component and now, it works smoothly.

I had already reinstalled the component but I hadn't checked if it lacked some table... I guess this was the problem.

Thank you dlb and Nicholas for this useful component and this wonderful support¡
