Thanks to Joomlart, the changelog provided with each update of Teline II provides more information now to potentially create a Teline II Patch (Fix) Update. More specifically, the addition of the file and the directory location (path).

However, there is still need for more information, particularly, Forum thread (URL link) where the “issue” was discussed and solve, to provide the following information:

1. Description of the problem
2. Script changed to fix the problem
3. file change and directory location

Why are the above needed, especially #2? Because some files that were fixed may involve multiple code fixes. From my downloads, the latest fix may overwrite some customization or earlier fixes.

For the latest changelog of Teline II v1.6, released 20080829, the following needs more clarification:

16-Aug-2008

^ Update joomla 1.5.6

# Update new version for Base.class.php
Needed: All three basic information indicated above, plus Forum thread, if any

# Update Youtube highslide module
Needed: All three basic information indicated above, plus Forum thread, if any

19-Aug-2008

# Update New version for JA News
Needed: All three basic information indicated above, plus Forum thread, if any

22-Aug-2008

# Fixed : youtube not working with highslide in IE

# Fixed : smarttrim error : trim <br /> tag in content.

I must say that I am impressed,

This really starts to look like something and I agree with cgc0202. We are almost there!

Cornelio: Modified scripts, I don’t think there is any way we can prevent updates to over write modifications we have made. This is something we need to do ourselves.

How? Use a development/ test site then apply the updates there first. Modify with our custom scripts and then try it out. I know this is a bitch to do but there is no other way around it as I see it.

Another thing I have noticed is that if I install from the quick start I get a different look and feel than if I uninstall all LA components, modules and template and then install a new version of them. Could it be that the Quick start and the “normal files” are different? Perhaps one should do the “updates from the quick install”?

This leads me to another idea. Way not only give us the quick start? If we like to do updates or custom installations we could do it from there?
The advantage of this is to only maintain one version of the code and reduce the risk of human error?

Is there any disadvantage of this approach?

Actually, it is quite simple, Bossep. And, Hainn agreed with me on this.

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/kindly-please-provide-list-names-of-fixed-files-in-latest-teline-ii/

All you need are these:

1. Forum thread (URL)where the issue or bug was discussed,

the forum thread should provide a description of the problem, bug or desired customization

2. Fixed or customized File and it directory location
3. Script changes

which are already provided in varying degrees in the Teline II changelog. Earlier fixes or modifications for Teline II already include the URL and the script changes. The ones I posted above did not include the URL (and thus also the scripts changes).

Providing the File and it directory location will make it easier for everyone to create and customize their Teline II (Fix) Patch Update kit; and especially useful for new users or those with limited scripting expertise, that will in turn minimize errors and thus minimize forum questions due to “lack of experience or expertise”, to paraphrase MJ.

This post therefore is a follow-up, of the concept thread (see URL above), to get the information missing in the latest changelog.

Why do we need to know the script changes? Take these actual and related questions:

1. Why are the images not resizing in Hot Topic?

=>this may be considered a bug

2. Bug? Hot Topic title showing but no intro text?

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/bug-hot-topic-title-showing-but-no-intro-text/

3. mod_ja_catslwi (ver 1.5.5) not resizing pictures

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/mod_ja_catslwi-ver-1-5-5-not-resizing-pictures/

4. How do I randomize the articles in Hot Topic?

=> this is a customization, the default is what was specified (ordered presentation) in the Hot Topic module

For the aforementioned questions, if I know all three information below:

1. Forum thread (URL)where the issue or bug was discussed,

=>the forum thread should provide a description of the problem, bug or desired customization

2. Fixed or customized File and it directory location
3. Script changes

are provided, I can check if the scripts affected are correct. If not, I have to accept by faith that the fix does the job; but sometimes the fix does not work:

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/bug-is-order-and-option-in-ja-news-for-joomla-1-5x/

or the Joomla update will require new script changes or reversion to old scripts:

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/caution-helper-php-error-not-fixed-in-joomla-1-5x-ja-teline-ii-v1-5/
(see other links provided)

Alternatively, seemingly related questions may require the same or very related script changes, and require changing “same name” files (e.g., helper.php) but the files changed are found in different directories, or specific for a template altogether:

1. Randomize articles shown in JA-news?
2. How do I randomize the articles in Hot Topic?

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/mod_ja_catslwi-display-random-articles/

In the last example, providing the file and directory location, as have been done in the latest changelog, will minimize errors and unwanted threads.

i think what hainn84 do in teline II v1.6 changelog is already wonderful or enough,
cos he already note which file is modified or added.

1. There are many program out there for comparing files (eg beyond compare) they even can compare folder to folder.
2. I think the modification in joomla template are minimal, it is not like phpbb forum which you need to edit the php file manually to add a hack(addon). so fixed code its not necessary.

cos adding fixed code and forum thread need more time to do that. which i think its better to use that time to answer many unanswered post in the forum

just my 2cent

ps: bad english
