Hi Guys,

This is a general question about overrides in the /html folder. In particular things in the /templates/your_template/html/com_content/article/ folder.

Often, as developers we want to create overrides in this folder, but we can't as when the template is updated, this will overide our changes.

Another issue, in particular with the manufactorer template is that line 42 in the /templates/manufacturer/html/comcontent/article/default.php throws an error because you're still using JHtml::('behavior.caption');

in the template. I comment this out to get the site working, but every time there's an update to the template, it comes back and I have to comment that line out again.

Is there any way we can avoid these types of overwrites in the future as it's becoming a real issue with development work being overwritten with template updates.

One way would be for Helix to use the child template feature brought into Joomla 4 - is there any plan on implementing this in the future?
