Steps to reproduce the issue

Install new Joomla! 5.2 rc2

Look in side XML manifest files for Joomla! extensions

Expected result

XML manifest files have only files and folders I see in Joomla! 5.2

Actual result

I find XML manifest files with old files and folders. Maybe old joomla 3 left over?

  • com_admin, has backend forms folder
  • com_banners, has frontend language files
  • com_messages, has frontend language files
  • com_users, has frontend layouts folder
  • com_actionlogs, has backend layouts folder
  • com_workflow, has backend access.xml
  • lib_joomla, has compat joomla and legacy folders but not folders I see in side libraries
  • mod_stats_admin, has 4 languages which are not in Joomla!
  • plg_editors_tinymce, has media/editors not media/plg_editors_tinymce

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla! 5.2 rc2

I have checked 5.2-dev branch, same problem

Additional comments

Not high priority. I read https://manual.joomla.org/docs/web-services-api/ and I understand the right way. If annoying just close. Thx

Well the manifests for core extensions have not really been maintained in recent times. It was once subject of discussions to completely remove them. But I understand that they currently are not really good examples.

I made a PR to fix these #444269 but have not yet done the mod_stats_admin language string as that needs a different PR with a deprecation notice.

PR to mark unused language strings created #44271

I believe this issue can now be closed as completed
