Helix Ultimate Update Documentation Question

Asked by James Gravert 3 months ago Last activity 3 months ago

I'm currently running version 2.2.1 of the Helix Ultimate Framework/Template. I see there is a V2.2.6 of this template now.

When I go to the documenation here: https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/helix-framework/updating-helix-ultimate-to-v2-2-x

I see it says the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility' plugin needs to be disabled. However the image on this documenation page has the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility 6' shown with a red box around it, instead of the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility'.

On the Joomla Pre-Update Check documentation page (here: https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla%205.4.x%20to%206.x%20Planning%20and%20Upgrade%20Step%20by%20Step) they show the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility' is the one that needs to be disabled in order to update to Joomla 6 from 5.

I would think we only want the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility' disabled and not the 'Behaviour - Backward Compatibility 6'.

Is this image just a misrepsentation of the instructions? If so the image should be updated to remove confusion.

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi James,

Thank you for pointing this out.

Since you’re currently running Joomla 5, the correct plugin to disable when preparing for a Joomla 6 upgrade is “Behaviour - Backward Compatibility”.

The screenshot showing “Behaviour - Backward Compatibility 6” is misleading in this context and does not match the instruction in the documentation. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review the documentation to correct the screenshot and avoid confusion for other users.

Please follow the written instructions and disable “Behaviour - Backward Compatibility” when performing the Joomla 5 to Joomla 6 upgrade.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best regards,
