Hotfix: backend menu is not displayed on Joomla 3.1.x

Joomla HQ broke some backward compatibility in Joomla 3.1.

So depending on which version of Joomla 3.1 you are using, the tabs in the UddeIM backend are displayed or not.

The following tracker entries describe the problem:
joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=30599
joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=29786

Since I do not know how Joomla HQ will fix the problem I can only give you following hotfix in case you have the problem on your system:

1. Open "admin.uddeim.php"
2. Go to line 1393
3. Change "if (uddeIMcheckJversion()==5)" to "if (uddeIMcheckJversion()>=5)"

Bless you, sir - I was wondering what happened. BTW, the comment in the code says this was fixed in 3.1, but I'm using 3.1.1 and I didn't have tabs until I made your change.

Let me guess: You have used the update package to update to J3.1.1.

Can you try following: Use the full Joomla 3.1.1 package and overwrite the old installation (do not copy the install folder and the configuration file). I have reports that the problem is solved then. It seems that the update package does not update all required files.

This has fixed the reason why I couldn't see the Email tab to turn off stop emails.

Thanks I now see all tabs across the top of uddeIM zone.

Regards,

That does not fix it. I have a perfectly new install of 3.1.1 and the issue happened until I changed the code.

Hello,

I'm running a fresh install of Joomla! 3.1.1
I got uddeIM 3.0 (J3.0)

I also have the same problem.
The tabs arent showing up.
If I make the change in that line, I cant even go to
components > uddeIM PMS
It will just give me a (server might be down) page.
Is there a solution to this problem, yet?
