Joomla Updates / Helix Ultimate Template Override Files
Addington
This is just a general question about the protocol for updates to Helix Ultimate following a Joomla update. Specifically, each time a Joomla update got through, it seems to change several of the files which are overridden by HU. I understand that this is normal - and essentially it is what a template is there for - but i am wondering what work is done to check HU's overrides against the revised Joomla files? For example, all the following Joomla files were updated for Joomla 5.2. Does it mean that each of these override files should be checked and updated too, if appropriate? And if yes, then when does that happen?

Accepted AnswerHi Charles.
yes, mark all [x] and confirm changes! Nothing more.
It's a new Joomla feature, and you have to get used to it.

Accepted AnswerOK, I will. But what I was trying to say is that if Joomla has changed the code, and yours is copied from and then modified from the original Joomla files, then don't you have to review your files and maybe release an updated helix ultimate (in case Joomla has updated somethign that you overrode but did not change...)

Accepted AnswerHello,
thanks Addington for asking the question. I am also curious why a Joomla! Core Udate (e.g. 5.3.3) applies changes in the Helix-Ulatime Tempalte overrides (html/...).
Nothing wrong with that, but I would like to know the mechanics on how this happens, since I did not update the Template, but the Joomla! Core. Is there some kind of hook that executes Migration Code in the Template on Joomla Updates? Because the Joomla Core Team certainly does not change the Helix Ultimate.
Thanks.
