Sorry, but I can't find a constant like JPATCH_CLEAN nor JPATH_CLEAN.

if you mean JPath::clean(), I would be really astonished if that ever returned a URL. It is a method to clean up filesystem paths, not URLs.

Sorry, JPATCH_CACHE ;)

Sorry, but JPATH_CACHE never contained a URL.

It was always a filesystem path. At least for the last 4 years.

As Hannes said, it is used for paths and not URLs. Please use the forum if you have a problem with the code!

That's why after the change in line 23 in the file includes / defines.php with:

define ('JPATH_CACHE', JPATH_BASE. '/ cache');

on

define ('JPATH_CACHE', JPATH_BASE. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'cache');

is changing the appearance of the path to the cache directory?

The difference is, that it uses \ on a windows system, compared to / on a unix system.

I understand, but what is the idea to change something that worked out well? For me, this is no problem, I fixed extension using JPATCH_CACHE and running.

Just not everyone uses Unixes systems. A lot of people working on the set of local servers on Windows. And before updating them everything worked. And after the update no longer works properly.

Without knowing what you are using this for, I can't answer that. So far I only see that you are trying to use a filesystem path as a URL and that is simply wrong and not supported. And never was.

I use a local server "JAMP" (PHP version 5.4.11) posed on Windows Vista. The same problem is in XAMPP (PHP version 5.4.26).

After the upgrade to Joomla 3.4 there is a problem with the creation of the path. After changing the file defines.php about which I wrote above, the problem disappears (ie he was not in the version of Joomla 3.3.6)

The question is why the changed records in the file defines.php and why now, in specific cases, this error.

What Hannes is saying is that your code is wrong
it is trying to use a filesystem path when it should be using a URL

If it worked before then that was because of a bug in Joomla and not
because you were writing the correct code.

At least thats how I understand it

@brianteeman Mostly yes. PHP is filesystem-seperator-agnostic and thus c:/something/foo/bar is the same as c:\something\foo\bar to it. You seem to be doing some weird stuff in your code and since we now made sure that all path constants use consistent seperators now, it breaks. But again, since you don't tell us the code and don't tell us where it is actually breaking, we can't help you.

This is still not a Joomla bug.

In the code I have used this:

$ thumbPath = JPATH_CACHE. '/'. $ module-> module. '/';

Before upgrading work. Now I had to improve on:

$ thumbPath = JPATH_SITE. '/ cache /'.$ module-> module.' / ';

This extension BT Contentslider (bowthemes.com)

That code is completely unhelpfull

@Hackwar thanks for wanting to help but I've fixed the module. I reported the problem to Bowthemes (because it's their extension). Now I know that the problem was a bad module code and not a bug Joomla.
