Hello,

I would like to report what appears to be an issue in the official Gazette update XML.

I currently have Gazette 2.0.4 installed on Joomla 5.4.7. Gazette 2.0.5 is available from JoomShaper, but Joomla does not offer it through the Extension Update Manager.

I investigated the update process and found a mismatch between the installed extension identifier and the identifier published in the JoomShaper update XML.

The installed Gazette template uses:

element: shaper_gazette type: template client_id: 0

Its installation manifest contains:

<name>shaper_gazette</name>

There is no separate <element> value in the installation manifest, so Joomla uses shaper_gazette as the template element.

However, the official update XML at:

https://www.joomshaper.com/updates/shaper-gazette.xml

currently publishes Gazette 2.0.5 with:

<name>shaper_gazette</name> <element>gazette</element> <version>2.0.5</version> <type>template</type> <client>site</client>

The important mismatch is therefore:

Installed extension: shaper_gazette Update XML: gazette

Joomla matches an available update to an installed extension using its extension identifiers. Because gazette does not match the installed shaper_gazette element, Joomla cannot associate the 2.0.5 update with the installed template.

The expected value in the update XML therefore appears to be:

<element>shaper_gazette</element>

rather than:

<element>gazette</element>

I also verified the installation manifests of both Gazette 2.0.4 and Gazette 2.0.5. Both use:

<name>shaper_gazette</name>

and both use the same JoomShaper update server, so the extension identifier was not renamed in version 2.0.5.

I also checked the other relevant metadata. Gazette 2.0.5 supports the Joomla 5.x range used by the site, and the update XML does not contain a PHP or database requirement that would prevent detection.

This identifier mismatch can be inspected directly in the public JoomShaper update XML and in the installation manifests of Gazette 2.0.4 and 2.0.5, independently of my Joomla server configuration.

Joomla occasionally also reports temporary update-site connection errors for several JoomShaper extensions. The relevant Gazette warning is:

Update: Could not open update site #531 "shaper_gazette", URL: https://www.joomshaper.com/updates/shaper-gazette.xml

However, the identifier mismatch described above is independently reproducible and remains present when the update XML is successfully accessible.

Could you please verify and, if appropriate, correct the <element> value in the Gazette update XML?

Thank you.
