@nikosdion Nikola can you take a look at this one, as I struggle to get the update.js to jquery as a 1 to 1 conversion and I don’t won’t to touch restore.php?
Thanks

If you find yourself in need to touch restore.php you are doing something extremely wrong! In fact, com_joomlaupdate's Javascript was backported from jQuery to mooTools when I contributed this feature. The newer version of the jQuery code is now part of Akeeba CMS Update and you can find it at https://github.com/akeeba/cmsupdate/blob/master/component/media/js/common.js

Please keep in mind that CMS Update uses a private copy of jQuery in the cmsupdate.jQuery object. You need to change cmsupdate.jQuery to window.jQuery. The methods you need to copy are doEncryptedAjax, pingExtract, startExtract, stepExtract, finalizeUpdate and also the functions empty and is_array (the latter two come from the awesome php.js library). Normally my Javascript is licensed under GPLv3 but I do give my permission to relicense it under "GPLv2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation" which is compatible with Joomla!.

And thus, with one swift change, you can remove all mooTools dependencies from Joomla! Update. You're welcome :)

@nikosdion First and foremost mille grazie for your code! Once again!
Can you check that what I included in update.js is ok with you?
I owe you some beers for that ????

@wilsonge can you also check update.js in this PR? Do we need another comments block or this is fine?
In essence this is Nikolas’s code with few alterations to fit the html classes we use in the relative layout

Can you give me some time to review it until Monday evening? My laptop was stolen, I replaced it, but now I have to get everything properly set up.

WOW that sucks! I hope you’ve got at least a backup of all the precious staff of your laptop. No rush here...

I can see that the total size of the update file being extracted (and, as a result, the percentage done) is always zero.

@nikosdion Thanks Nick, I changed the script to reflect on values:

In file administrator/components/com_joomlaupdate/controller.php change line 46 from

$model = $this->getModel($vName);

to

$model = $this->getModel('default');

This should fix the fatal error.

@test successfully. Thanks

@losedk do you have few minutes spare to test this one?
Thanks!

@dgt41 Just tested. No errors on update, so I guess that's a successful test :)

@test on staging + 6769.diff. It has worked perfectly!

Great RTC!
