Update component via Extension Manager

[tovarish]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement update feature support for my Joomla 1.6 component according to this tutorial: http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Mod ... _-_Part_17 with no success.

Joomla extension manager successfully downloads and parses my component update.xml from update server, but it shows "There are no updates available at the moment. Please check again later."

After some tricks with debugger I found that problem is in "client_id" field in the "jos_extensions" and "jos_updates" tables. JUpdater always set "client_id" to null, but in the "jos_extensions" table "client_id" is "1". So update manager can't link the new update to the existing component. (/joomla/libraries/joomla/updater/updater.php, line: 96)

Could anybody please explain me what does this "client_id" actually means in context of component where both admin and user parts exist and how to fix this?

I'm using 1.6.1.

Thank a lot in advance for any help.

The client_id tells Joomla where to look for the xml file, as far as I understand it.
It was working in J1.6, but something else was broke. And when they fixed the bug in J1.6 they introduced this in on J1.6.1.

It's probably a duplicate of http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=24338
