Hello,

i would like to update from JomSocial 4.3 to 4.4
I use the JA Mood template and i did some template overrides like described in your documentation ( documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template )

As described in the docu i copied some files to JOOMLA/templates/yourTemplateName/html/com_community
If i update now JomSocial, is it necessary to copy all files again to JOOMLA/templates/yourTemplateName/html/com_community and make the changes?

I also changed some translations. Is the file JOOMLA/language/de-de/de-de.com_community.ini overriden and i have to add my translations again?

Thanks for your help.
Best regards

HI.

Thank you for contacting us.
No, there is no need as you overrided them correctly.
Nevertheless this is new major version so files that you overrided may have some chnages.
In cases like that I compare both files in search of changes using diff: www.diffchecker.com/
Just compare both files and search for differences. (note that your customization will be highlighted as difference). If there are no changes - good for you.
If there are, then apply your customization in new file and replace previous override.

As for language, the best option to make overrides is to use Joomla! Language Override feature: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Changin...gle_Sentence_or_Word

JomSocial by default do not touch your native language files, just changes original en-GB. So your customized language file will be untouched.

Thanks Michal,

works great and the diffchecker.com is a great website.
In the future i will use the language overrides instead changing the ini file.

HI.

Great to hear that ;)
