Hello, Install from web had in previous versions an option to place it as last item and currently it is not available. Is it possible to bring in back to the scene please?

The reason is that once we are on the install menu the web tab takes some time to load and is actually annoying while of course it is a really good to have as an option but not something that is used everyday.

Kind Regards.

I noticed in the javascript that there are multiple strings that are not translated - sorry dont know how to fix that

var redirect_confirm = confirm('You will be redirected to the following link to complete the registration/purchase - \n'+redirect_url);

alert("This extension cannot be installed via the web. Please visit the developer's website to purchase/download.");

Now that we have a chance to refactor the IFW, I propose that we get rid of the IFW server. The new JED has JSON APIs that we can directly use to create the views. I'm hoping that we can reuse the existing jlayouts and convert them into jquery templates (https://github.com/codepb/jquery-template/) in order to have the same look and feel to start with.

Let me know if you guys see any issues with this approach.

This is still a problem, majority of loading issues are fixed with the last release/pr #35 but there remains an issue when Install From Web is the first tab, and immediately after installing an extension, thepage loads with the success text for that, but the Install from web tab pane is blank (although the code triggers the load)

The param works to move the tab from first to last BUT when in the first position it is never the default option. Not sure if this was by design or not.

With the new prototype plugin, the whole installer gives an error when the plugin fails to connect to extensions.joomla.org. This may happen when JED is down or when you're behing a Firewall that blocks access.

Disabling the plugin obviously solves it, but it's not a good solution for cases when JED is down.

Hi guys,

Install From Web doesn't work with SSL in the admin area. It spins for a long time, then won't display. Instead it states "Cannot connect to the Joomla! server. Please try again later."

In Chrome, it has this warning:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1342714?hl=en

The issue might be due to the following code:
apps_base_url = 'http://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/';

When uninstalling the new plugin, the files in layout/joomla/installer/web are not removed.
This is because they are copied over by the install script and we don't have a way to install layouts into the global layouts folder.
It should however somehow be possible to use the layouts folder within the extension.

The Back to Category button has a class btn-warning giving it a colour of #e48806

Doesnt make sense to me and is not consistent with the rest of Joomla it should be btn-primary which is blue

There is no option to change the number of items displayed on a page. This is inconsistent with the rest of Joomla

Testing the 2.0.0 upgrade and I get the following on the Install from Web tab:

I can not upgrade "Installer - Install from Web" from 1.1.1 to 2.0.1, not from direct online update nor from uploaded zip file.

Here is my environment:

• PHP 7.2.17.
• Joomla 3.9.5.

here is error message

Install from github joomla-cms master at revision 351b778254893d1ebbd734a88e3ad2a33b386aff

Login to admin

Install the install from web with the button provided

see that it fails to load the content all the time

To make it load this correctly you can click another tab and then click the Install from web tab

Cross posted to joomla/joomla-cms#13165

The newest "Install From Web plugin v 2.0.1" fails

• J3.9.14,
• Firefox 73.0b1 (latest).
• Error message in browser: Can't connect to the Joomla! server. Please try again later.
• Console error message:

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/index.php?format=json&opt…el=MTQ=&list=grid&pv=Mi4wLjE=&callback=jedapps_jsonpcallback”. index.php:1:1

Expected result

An install from web options in tab at extension install page
Actual result

Refer the screen shot
Additional comments

I tried doing this many times, still the same result

Whenever the joomla logo is displayed an overlay is also rendered BUT the page can still be scrolled

The effect is painful for the eyes.

Suggestion

Add a css style

body.modal-open {
    overflow: hidden;
    -ms-overflow-style: none;
} 

And these two lines of javascript in the relevant places e.g. init ajax, onSuccess

$('body').addClass('modal-open');
$('body').removeClass('modal-open');

This will freeze the page and will be much better

Just as a reminder this code comes from joomla/joomla-cms#6964
which is RTC and most probably will make it to 3.4.2 so maybe the css styling won’t be necessary

Thanks

With J3.6 the installer is built with a plugin for each tab, similar to the install from web plugin.
The position of each tab is determined by the ordering of the plugins.

This makes the position parameter in the ifw plugin obsolete and actually limits the functionality.
Thus that parameter should be removed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Try searching for an extension by name in the web installed tab. I searched for "JCE" , "Joomla content editor", "simple image gallery" etc. I've attached some screenshots after search was done:

Expected result

The record which has the closest match should end up on top, eg. JCE Editors' listings as well as JCE related plugins, or something that at least contains the string.

Actual result

Heaps of non related extensions, with no mention of the original search string in the results.

System information (as much as possible)

Vanilla install of Joomla 3.x. As far as I can remember, this is an issue with all the Joomla versions that has the web installer.

Additional comments

I don't have a solution or PR for this yet, but want to get into the code and see if I can improve the search so that it actually works.

I don't know how many people use the feature, but it has frustrated me so much in the past, especially when setting up a new site, that I just went and downloaded the extensions direct form the developer sites and did not bother to use the web installer.

Joomla 3.9.19 on Wampserver 3.2.2: Apache 2.4.43a - MySQL 8.0.20 - PHP 7.4.7

Click the button 'Add "Install from Web" tab'.
Download client from https://downloads.joomla.org/us/extensions/install-from-web/2-0-1 and install it.

Steps to reproduce the issue
In the admin side of Joomla, go to Extensions >> Install
On the Install from Web tab, click into the search field and type 'VirtueMart' (without quotes)
Click the magnifying glass search button
Look for "VirtueMart" within the search results.

Expected result
The Name of the extension should be weighted first and therefore the extension "VirtueMart" should have been first before any other extensions with "VirtueMart" in the description. Not sure why "Breezing Forms" keeps popping up first. Sort dropdown box should be defaulted to "Sort be Relevance"

Actual result
The "VirtueMart" Extension is not listed, "Breezing Forms" is the first one listed which is not even close to "VirtueMart".

I even tried to go into the e-Commerce category and search from there but it jumped to the "Home" category and guess what? ... "Breezing Forms" is at the top.

System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.4.8

When you select the detailed view of any extension there is a button labelled "Back to Category"
That makes sense when you have reached that extension from a category but not from the home age which is "most popular" and not a category
I would suggest simply changing that to say "Back"

Not sure if anything can be done about this but the page load of a category is very slow. This is because the images being grabbed are Huge and with so many on the page it makes it very slow to load even on a good connection.

For example for Akeeba Abckup the image being loaded is
548ff93e7bdd0.png and is 97kb

We should be using the smaller image available for Akeeba Backup which is
548ff93e7bdd0_resizeDown302px133px16.png and only 27kb

Maybe the JED stores/creates even smaller images for use

Missing string in core:
COM_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_INSTALL_RETRY

Also
COM_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_INSTALL_WEB_LOADING_ERROR="Cannot connect to the Joomla! server. Please try again later."
has no variable and is used in a sprintf

<a class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</a><?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_INSTALL_WEB_LOADING_ERROR', $retry); ?>

PLG_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_TAB_TIMEOUT_LABEL
PLG_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_TAB_TIMEOUT_DESC
PLG_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_ITEMS_PER_REQUEST_LABEL
PLG_INSTALLER_WEBINSTALLER_ITEMS_PER_REQUEST_DESC

We need to update needed to webinstaller.xml file.

I will do that in the next hours, and close this issue once done.

When you remove the mootools framework on the install pages, the webinstaller can't be loaded anymore. So there is still mootools code to load the data.

Everything is broken in Hathor

In the path we have a first level called Default (returns you to the Most Popular)
To me the word Default implies that there is an option somewhere that can be changed - there isn't
So I would suggest simply changing it to Home

Hello,

I just noticed that, after the JED update, the images of the extensions are not correct loaded. The link to the images ends in a 404 not found.

Also a merry Christmas to everyone!

Greeting,
Niels

The Sort options are all hard coded to only sort in one direction - ok I guess
But I doubt anyone would ever want to Sort by Reviews or Sort by Scored starting with the ones with ZERO

I would suggest EITHER changing that to sort by the highest number OR adding Sort by * Ascending and Sort by Descending

1. SSL fix is already committed. #2 can be closed once a package is created and a message is left in #2 to test.

2. #8 is done. It can be closed.

3. #10 is done in the serverside. It can be closed.

4. Merge #6

5. Merge #7 - Check #23 instead

6. Merge #15

7. Merge #20 - Merged

8. Remove 2.5 support: #18 - Merged

9. Create a test package.

The Jed has changed to new environment, now its lost images on the webinstaller.

In the next few days we will turn on the Extensions section of the downloads site which will include Weblinks and Install from Web. To support this, the update server definition should be ready to use the site when we enable the new section. This will require the following updates:

http://appsserver.joomla.org/webapps/jedapps/downloads/plugin/plg_webinstaller_3.2v1.0.5.zip will be served via https://downloads.joomla.org/extensions/install-from-web/1-0-5/plg_webinstaller_3.2v1.0.5.zip

http://appsserver.joomla.org/webapps/jedapps/downloads/plugin/plg_webinstaller_3.7v1.1.1.zip will be served via https://downloads.joomla.org/extensions/install-from-web/1-1-1/plg_webinstaller_3.7v1.1.1.zip

@beat I will ping again when we launch the section, if you could please be ready to update the XML file that'd be greatly appreciated.

This is NOT popular extensions it is ALL extensions sorted by score (unless a different sort has been chosen) - there are 972 pages

I would suggest either renaming this to "ALL" or limiting the number of extensions fetched to be a true popular list.

Right now a user could select popular an then change the sort by reviews and think they are seeing something that they are not

As title says. No reply to issues and PRs.

For example, we need an update to let install in a 3.6.0 site... in
https://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/jedapps/webinstaller.xml
