Wise to upgrade already or wait ?

Does Shape 5 perform some tests on the templates/modules to see if there are any issues ?

Personally, I rather wait a little while and watch the Joomla forums to see if there are any problems/issues when you upgrade to the latest version.

And it is wise to do a full site backup before upgrading to 3.4.0

On the Dutch Joomla community some problems with multilanguage websites, with the language filters, after the update they couln't not approch the site anymore.
Strange thing is that it is a bit 50-50 until now. Half the posters had no problems, the other half needed to do some adjustments in the language settings after the update.

Hello,

I have tested several of our installs throughout the beta process personally and have not found any issues with the templates the way they are. You should also have a backup before any upgrade though.

Good news then. Always hard to guess reading such problems, did they create their own template, what kind etc...so many factors that can have infuence.

Hi Gutshot, it would be also nice if you can give an update on how the upgrade went for you.

Update--it was the shape5 Spotlight News module I had on the home page that broke the page. Unpublished it and the Business Pro template works fine.


I updated today and now have a completely blank home page (and one other).  Most other pages in the site work fine, though.  Using shape5 Business Pro template.  I can get a homepage using a non-shape5 template, but plan to go back to 3.6 until it's figured out.

Thx for sharing, have to read it all careful what are the improvements.

Personaly, front-end editing on the modules is not that is important to me, all the sites are build that they can edit the articles. For most end users that is enough.

Thanks for the reports guys.

We will continue to test 3.4 to see if there are any issues with modules/templates and make patches as needed.

Hi Gutshot,

Any bugs we find will be patched and we will let you know here. We have only found a minor bug with Spotlight News so far but are still doing testing.
