I do not find any plugin like
element => 'compatibility' // plugin name
'folder' => 'system'
parapente commentedon Mar 23, 2026
@JLTRY it shouldn't check for the plugin in 4.x.
version_compare(JVERSION, '6', 'ge')should return false but it seems that it isn't.parapente commentedon Mar 23, 2026
oops, sorry but I seem to have misunderstood. In what version of joomla do you get the error message?
JLTRY commentedon Mar 23, 2026
No the version 4.2.2 is for attachments my Joomla is 6.0.3
JLTRY commentedon Mar 23, 2026
version 6.0.3
parapente commentedon Mar 23, 2026
The plugin that needs to be enable has full name "Behaviour - Backward Compatibility 6" in Extensions: Manage . If this plugin is not enabled then the extension doesn't work in 6.0.3.
JLTRY commentedon Mar 23, 2026
yes but in code you have
->where($db->quoteName('element') . ' = ' . $db->quote('compatibility')) // plugin name
->where($db->quoteName('folder') . ' = ' . $db->quote('system')); // plugin group
the compatibility plugin are (joomla 6 behavior/compat6 , joomla5 behavior/compat), not system/compatibility

Hmm indeed, it seems some code changes didn't make it through to the repository. Please proceed with the appropriate changes.
JLTRY commentedon Mar 23, 2026
You merged your changes 649a79d so, I do not understand Perhaps was there an issue as I made my modifications for french translations in my branch that you merged

No it was not your fault. It seems that I made some changes locally and I didn't push them to the repository. Indeed changing
