* Upgrading Plugins

[LornaCraig]

In order to get the latest versions of some plugins which have been upgraded for V6 I ran the Check Installed Plugins against the Store plugin. It apparently upgraded 7 plugins, as shown in the attached screenshot of the results table. However when I attempted to run any of the upgraded plugins in every case the version displayed was the older version and a message appeared saying that a later version was available. The only exception to this was Check Installed Plugins against the Store itself, which ran anyway.

I then downloaded Check Installed Plugins.. direct from the store to ensure that it was the correct version, and ran it again. The other 6 'old' plugins were apparently again upgraded, but again when I tried to run them they were still the old versions. I can successfully download each one directly from the store, but why were they not upgraded as reported in the results set?

This has already been reported to Jane, who is presumably very busy just now.

It appears to be downloading the latest Plugin that was available in the V5 Plugin Store, despite reporting the Version from the V6 Plugin Store.

I have looked at the Plugin Lua script, and there is nothing wrong there, so it must be the Plugin Store fetchlatestpluginversion.php script that needs adjusting.

OK thanks Mike. I have now downloaded them all directly so no longer going round in cirlces!

I noticed a similar problem yesterday and used it as an opportunity to delete (from FH and disk drive) all my plugins, after having saved the report of what I'd had installed, then re downloading the ones I still use, with the V6 compatible ones where available.

There were a few old ones that I'd downloaded out of curiosity, but never used since, so was useful to do a bit of housekeeping.

This should be fixed now, Mike was quite right, the download script was still pointing at the old database.
