I’m going to be brutally honest here.

Using JA Ruby on a recent project, I noticed the Section Description wasn’t showing up on Section Blog view. Upon inspection of the code, I quickly found the problem. To be honest I’m SHOCKED at the results.

In the file templates/ja_ruby/html/com_content/section/blog.php, the code was simply copied and pasted from the CATEGORY folder, meaning that the source code was calling “$this->category->description” instead of “$this->section->description” in every reference to that code block.

Now – I understand there will be some bugs. But when we’re paying good money for templates I’d expect some basic level of testing to be done on these things. There are many people out there who won’t be able to identify the problem so easily.

In addition, the </a> at the end of the “link to category” conditional block is in the wrong place, which means the ENTIRE ARTICLE becomes a link to the category instead of just the cat link.

Has this not been noticed before? This is the case in more than one JA template.

I seriously doubt I’ll be renewing my membership with JoomlArt. I’m wasting far too much time fixing things that shouldn’t happen in the first place.
