Description of my issue:

Nicholas,

I installed some updated RocketTheme extensions with AB Pro with the Restore Points plugin enabled but they didn't install unless I disabled the AB restore points feature. Should I post on the RocketTheme forums to ask the RT developers to add the small snippet of XML inside their extension's XML manifest, as noted in your AB doc:

https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/taking-srps.html

Or do the RT devs have a reason why their extensions aren't compatible with the AB restore points feature?

Thanks.

Yes, I know. If RocketTheme tried to produce extensions which install normally and don't abuse the extensions installer I'm sure they would work with the SRP feature. They have to rewrite their post installation scripts. It's not sufficient to simply add some XML.
