First of all let me say that I'm new to joomla.
I'm trying to upgrade a very old joomla installation (2.5.9) to something that has not reached EOL :-)
I've been following guides and reading posts here and there and I've managed to upgrade the installation to 3.10.12 (an PHP 8!!). So, I started from 2.5.9 -> 2.5.28 -> 3.5.1 -> 3.10.12 .
After each upgrade I went to extensions and made sure none had pending updatesand that my DB was upgraded.
I also fixed/removed those extensions that stopped working after one or the other upgrade (k2, or hator, i.e). And I also removed some directories from the joomal installation becasue they were kind of left-overs (according to some posts I've read).
At this point, and before jumping to 4, I'd like to fix some issues I've seens and that show that my upgrade did not fully work.
My site now run 3.10.12 and everything looks ok, but when I go to extension, it keeps saying that there are no updates, but if I look at the list of extnsions I see a few that are still from 2.5.0 and are protected, so I have the feeling that the core extension have not been (fully?) upgraded ? (TBH not sure what it means, cause I find it weird that my installation could run 3.10.12 with core extension from 2.5.0). As an example :
Code: Select all
Cache Administrator Component 2.5.0 April 2006 Joomla! Project N/A 5
Categories Administrator Component 2.5.0 December 2007 Joomla! Project N/A 6
Check-in Administrator Component 2.5.0 Unknown Joomla! Project N/A 7
Configuration Administrator Component 2.5.0 April 2006 Joomla! Project N/A 23
Control Panel Administrator Component 2.5.0 April 2006 Joomla! Project N/A 9
Custom Site Module 2.5.0 July 2004 Joomla! Project N/A 205
Custom Administrator Module 2.5.0 July 2004 Joomla! Project N/A 300
So, before looking into other small issues I'm facing, I'd like to ask the community if what I see is expected or not and, if not, how I could upgrade all those "core" and protected extensions.There are no updates available at the moment. Please check again later.
TIA
