Hi,
I updated my joomla 3.10 site locally to joomla 4.2.6
Works fine with SP Page Builder Pro Version: 3.8.9
Shaper_wayne_corp 2.0.0
Shaper_helixultimate 2.0.11
But i'm not sure if updating to SP PageBuilder Next is also needed and safe...
Been reading some different reactions in the support forum.
I also want to make sure all works with php 8.x
Right now using php 7.4.2
Hope you can give some advice.
Thanks and regards,
Pas
Hi Pascal,
on your place I would wait few weeks more.
Yes, it's safe, but with each SPPB 4.x update it's more bug free (fixed), this same like with Joomla was.
Using Joomla 4.0.0 wasn't smart, but Joomla 4.2.6 is much better, right. I hope you see the comparison.
Thanks Paul,
It's a local test site so not a big issue if there's some bugs. I'll report and wait for fix/update.
Right now I have another test running but i'm confused a bit....
Joomla 3.10.11 PHP Version 7.4.2 showing these updates???
Helix3 - Ajax Site Plugin 2.5.6 -> 3.0.3
shaper_helixultimate Site Template 1.1.4 -> 2.0.11
SP Page Builder Pro Administrator Component 3.7.12 -> 3.8.9
System - Helix Ultimate Framework Site Plugin 1.1.4 -> 2.0.11
System - Helix3 Framework Site Plugin 2.5.8 -> 3.0.3
Can I update all or should this be done in a certain order?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal
Decide to use ONLY one template - using both Helix3 and Helix Ultimate in long term doesn't make sense.
Keep only default template, I hope it's Helix Ultimate - and yes update.
Uninstall all templates that you don't use.
About "SP Page Builder" - basic steps:
Order of update doesn't matter. You can start with Template or Component.
If auto-update works, you saved 90sec of your webmaster life.
Hi Paul,
Not sure why I have both Helix versions. But I uninstalled Helix3.
I updated all and work pretty good ;)
But I have only 1 issue with menu characters and form fields?
Since this is a local test I added some screens, looks like a font issue??
Hope you have any idea how this can be solved.
Regards,
Pascal

css used for this:

font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
font-weight: 900;
content: "";
float: right;
margin-left: 7px;
}
Not sure why I have both Helix versions.
Question for you, not me, your are site owner / webmaster.
Remember to uninstall also old helix plugin, not used one!
If you're using Helix Ultimate template as your default template:
Font Awesome is needed to display icons like ">", "x" or [=] etc.
ABout shape of input fields objects - I need URL to tell more.
Thanks Paul,
The fontawesome settings fixed the menu display.
The other (form) issue was caused by a custom css and is fixed also.
Thanks in advance.
Pascal
I'm glad to hear that.
