I want to know if this is just my server, or if this is a bug in Joomla. According to the DTD, you can tell Joomla to install SQL from a file location or pass individual quieries. I would prefer to use the external file for better managment and readability of the XML install file. However, it does not seem to install or even read the SQL file.
For example:
Code: Select all
<install>
<sql>
<file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">install.mysql.sql</file>
<file>install.mysql.sql</file>
</sql>
</install>
<uninstall>
<sql>
<file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">uninstall.mysql.sql</file>
<file>uninstall.mysql.sql</file>
</sql>
</uninstall>
Code: Select all
<sql>
<file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">foobar.sql</file>
<file>foobar.sql</file>
</sql>
I read somewhere that in the early betas that the processing of the external SQL was not implemented, but I was under the impression it was not, since every tutorial tells you to do it this way. I downloaded some other components that use this method, and they also did not work, which leads me to believe its my installation (??) Because they wouldn't have uploaded code that dosn't work for anyone most likely. For example, I looked at this one:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/.
So any ideas on what's going on, or do I have to switch it to use query elements within the XML?
Thanks.
