Hi...

I've crawled all over the site looking for an suitable download for my Joomla 5 install, and comments suggest that it works but I'm having no luck installing it. Seems to choke on DB insertions?

I also read where there is another release in October that's a major re-write? Any updates on this?

Thanks

I tried to migrate a seblod website to joomla 4 and then 5. I got a lot f problems. So i thought, lets try it on a new j5 install and start from scratch (i have to create the whole hierarchie and pages again etc, but maybe a fresh start is better). But i ran into the problems getting it installed..

Warning JInstaller: :Install: Can't find Joomla XML setup

Kind regards,

Joris

I've not heard anything at all on this, I fear they may not be operating anymore.

I tried it on a J4 fresh install and that worked. I hope that if they are thinking about stopping they would mention it. I know they are not very active on the forum. Too bad, but it would take a lot of their time. So, i hope they spend time coding Sebod :-) We can help each other here.

Hi GooRu, Pathos,

I just installed Seblod 4.5.2 on a completely new Joomla 5.4.0 installation and it installed perfectly. I don’t know if this helps you, but I used PHP 8.2. I think PHP 8.4 causes issues. The other day I had to downgrade PHP from 8.4 to 8.2 because Seblod was giving me problems.

Best regards

I was really hoping that would work but I'm getting the same error

Unknown column 'language' in 'INSERT INTO' Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: com_cck.zip

Looks like.a DB error, but thanks for the input

Hi,

Ok this is another thing. This error usually happens because your database table #__cck_core_fields is missing the language column. The installer tries to run an INSERT that includes language, but MySQL can’t find that column, so it fails.

Most of the time this comes from a previous failed / partial install (or an old leftover SEBLOD schema) where the table got created but the later ALTER TABLE steps didn’t finish.

You can fix it in two ways:

1. Add the missing column

ALTER TABLE `#__cck_core_fields` ADD COLUMN `language` CHAR(7) NOT NULL DEFAULT '*';

2. Clean up the half-created SEBLOD tables and reinstall (cleanest approach if you don’t need existing SEBLOD data): remove the #__cck_* tables (or at least #__cck_core_fields) and run the install again.

Note that you must replace #__ with your real Joomla table prefix.

Best regards.
