Hi there,
I just updated shaper_helixultimate from v2.0.10 to v2.0.11 and realized that the update has resetted all my different language Site Template Styles. Meaning: if you run a multilingual website and update Helix Ultimate to v2.0.11 chances are that you need to reconfigure ALL the language "Template Options" from scratch:
System > Site Template Styles > "Name_of_the_Template_Style" > Template Options (in different languages)
If you have 3 languages installed, as my websites, you need to reconfigure all 3 Template Options again from zero. This can be painful if you don't have a backup. Fortunately I had a cron job running on a daily basis, so I could restore a recent backup. Yes, my fault, I should have done a manual backup, but I thought it might be only a minor update change.
This is what I did:
(Under Joomla 4.2.0, SP Page Builder Pro v3.8.8, Helix Ultimate Framework v2.0.10, Helix Ultimate v2.0.10)
- I updated "System - Helix Ultimate Framework" v2.0.10 to v2.0.11. Result: all OK.
- I updated "shaper_helixultimate" v2.0.10 to v2.0.11. Result: the 3 language Site Template Styles have been resetted to its default settings. Meaning: the logo, navigation bar, etc. were set to the default values.
- I replicated the error by restoring my production site with a recent backup/restore (Akeeba). Then I created a staging clone copy to a subfolder of another domain I have. In the staging copy I updated the Helix Ultimate following step 1 and step 2, and voilà, the errors show up as I mentioned above.
This error does NOT show up when you don't use a multilingual website. I have other websites with only 1 single language installed. Updating to Helix v2.0.11 there doesn't cause any issues. But it certainly does on my multilingual websites.
Any hint to keep the different language Template Options untouched?
Thanks!
