Update is okay

Sorry that's not a solution, then better revert the child template pr or write a manual beta4 upgrade path description.

Having this code till 5.0 or 6.0 or what ever version shouldn't be the target.

Hmm, to me it doesn't look that bad, I would be ok with it, and updates from 4.0 Beta n (n < 4) to Beta 4 would work again.

Let's see what @wilsonge says.

Sorry that's not a solution,

hm why, any drawback? I mean a "real" 😉

Having this code till 5.0

till 5.0, no need longer 😉

Clean code instead of patchwork and workarounds that will be broken by the next workaround?

Having this code till 5.0

till 5.0, no need longer 😉

That's would only be true if we have again a 4.10 (or what ever version) which need to be updated between 3.10 and 5.0. Which shouldn't be needed.

[Fedik]

A clean code is good of course, but it not really a technical drawback.
And select s.* from ... is valid query statement, so no hidden hacks here.
I have seen worse 😉

Well, about how long it should stay, it depend from how the update process will evolve.
If in next year someone will decide to rewrite update to isolated app, then the patch may be reviewed at that time.

[richard67]

@Fedik I've pimped the testing instructions a bit.

[richard67]

@ceford Could you test this one here? Thanks in advance.

[ceford]

I don't see how I can test this patch. My J4 Bet4-Dev site has already been updated so I can't just delete those two columns. I am not in a position to revert to yesterday. Sorry - just not enough experience.

@ceford Sorry, I didn't know that. All ok.

[ceford]

I tested with an older J4 Install - the admin side works but the site throws a 500 error.

Those two columns are still not in the template_styles table.

Those two columns are still not in the template_styles table. And the site throws a 500 error although admin is still working.

@ceford Could you change yoru testing result back to "not tested"? Thanks in advance.

It's right, this PR doesn't add back the columns.

[ceford]

Deleted successful test and changed comment on result of my test.

[Fedik]

hm, I see, I thought that was reverted 3.10 backport , but it was 4.0 path,
this workaround does not make sense then :)

[jonasreinsch333]

Hello,
I've the same problem after install the actual joomla 4 version (beta5). I tried to replace the snippets like it shown here. That helps for the admin sites. Thanks a lot! All the backend-pages are working fine now, but the frontend page figures with the error like before: "Unknown column 'inheritable' in 'field list'".
You can see all the error report on my website: https://geschenkesuchen.com/
I'm not a programmer. Can someone help me?

[jonasreinsch333]

Hi Richard, thanks a lot! Now all is working fine ;-)

[richard67]

@jonasreinsch333 If you have done changes in PHP code like in this PR here, revert those changes, they are not needed anymore after the SQL correction.

[jonasreinsch333]

Thanks for the hint! I will try it.
