Update JG 3.6.2 to 3.7.0 problems

    Hi,

    I'm not an user of JoomGallery but helps a friend to migrate her site to Joomla 5.

    When I update JG to 3.7.0 with autoupdate or manual installation, I get no error. But on the main page of JG, the version is 3.6.2
    How could I solve that?

    Joomla! version is 3.10.12-2025-01-08-EOLfix, PHP 8.0.30, database on MySQL 8.0, I'm using Firefox 136.0.1

    Then If I use the maintenance manager, a category has a consistent alias to false, and all categories have consistent catpath to false.

    The category with inconsistent alias name is "A l'huile ou à l'eau", its alias "francais/huiles-et-acryliques-2003-2012", its ID 5, and I don't find where I could find the catpath in the administration.
    So I took a look int the database, the catpath is "francais_3/a_lhuile_ou_a_leau_5". "Français" is the parent category, its ID is 3, its alias "francais".
    What can I do to correct this “unconsistent” data?

    Thanks for your help!

    Regards,

    Approved the thread.

    If you see the inconsistencies in the maintenance manager, then your site is truly 3.7.0.

    I recommend you reading this article as an understanding of the situation: https://www.joomgalleryfriends.net/en/documentati…jg3-to-jg4.html

    As mentioned in the article, you can automatically correct the inconsistencies of your JoomGallery 3. If you want to do it manually, you have to make sure that the category paths are something like this:

    Code
    parentPath/catalias_catid

    And make sure the category paths correspond to the actual folder paths.

    We are looking for volunteers for the JoomGallery 4 development!

    Thank you Elfangor93.

    Before I encountered that problem, I migrated on a local server a copy of the site and migrate it to J5, the installed JG4 but I was never able to import data from JG3.

    I will try to understand how to make changes to alias and catpath
