 The Admin Tools is missing the icon to update to the latest version of Joomla.

In addition to it being missing there the Joomla Update Icon is missing from the Control Panel.

Under Extensions >Manager filtering by the word Quick I can see that the Joomla! Update Notification is listed with a Green Padlock.

Any ideas why it is missing from from Admin Tools?

I've tried the refresh cache, purge cache tricks. Joomla thinks it is running the latest version.

As we announced back in April 2013 we removed the Joomla! update feature from Admin Tools. The actual update can be performed by two different components, both written by yours truly:
  • The "Joomla! Update" component shipped with Joomla!. It is the same thing as Admin Tools' Joomla! update feature, but this is now included in Joomla! itself and supported by the Joomla! community. I am still its main contributor. It is a very mature component and can be used without any fear or doubt.
  • Akeeba CMS Update (free for download from our site). Consider it the evolution of Admin Tools' Joomla! update / Joomla! Update. It has some handy new features like being extra stable on more shared hosts and even allowing you to automatically update Joomla! through a CRON job. This is still in alpha, but I'm using it on our sites.

When you get that message change the URL you see in your browser. Replace the index.php with index.php?option=com_plugins and disable the "Quick Icon - Akeeba CMS Update notification for Joomla! updates" plugin.

That did the trick. I'm back in business. Any ideas what caused the plugin to throw this error?

Any ideas why Joomla doesn't display the Joomla Update Icon? I'd like to use the built in tools vs ftp to update.

Thanks!!!

Yes, it is a bug that I've fixed in the latest dev release.

It's because the Quick Icon plugin for the Joomla! update was unpublished when you installed Akeeba CMS Update. You can enabled it manually from the Plugin Manager.
