Updated the description for Joomla 6 enhancements, including changes to font sizes.
I have updated the text to show 'font sizes' rather than 'font'. |
Indeed, but it points to the Articles view. |

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on 83f4697 1 small text update: just 1 thing proposal: Joomla! 6 supports automated updates for better security and performance. ---> (the TUF link should open in a new tab) This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/45967. |

watching someone else is not a test |
In case, it was confusing, I was doing the test. |

I have added the link to the step, thanks for the suggestion! |
|
Shouk,d we be adding that link - they dont list Joomla as an adopter https://theupdateframework.io/community/adoptions/ |
@brianteeman Possibly because we are using our fork and not the original? Is that correct, @SniperSister ? |
|
If so then we shouldn't use that link but something else perhaps in the JCM |
Updated the description for Joomla 6 to reflect enhancements in child templates and versioning.

The problem with using a guided tour and not a post installation message for some of this stuff is that internal links dont really work eg the link to automated updates where the page loads in the background but its obscured by the tour chrome_p3q2QsrM7d.mp4 |
I would be ok removing it, it seems like it has also been purged from the 5.4 tour. |
|
Let me know, Gary @Bodge-IT, what you want me to do. All these are small changes I can do pretty quickly, and test the language keys to double check the output. I know it is getting pretty tight as the language freeze is upon us. |
|
@olivier, Brian is right about the button, bit weird looking. Can we reduce the width of that panel to suite? Or provide another screenshot? |
Improved formatting and additional information replacing the button.
|
Thank you @obuisard for your work on this and all the guided tours. And to all the diligent testers for their comments and attention to detail |
|
was there a reason the links to github are noopener but the link to 6.joomla is noopener noreferrer |
Can't see any reason. I'll write the PR for it. |
Thanks Stefan @tecpromotion. No reason indeed. |


Summary of Changes
This PR adds a tour that highlights new features introduced in Joomla 6.0.
Testing Instructions
You must be under 5.4.0. Download the nightly update here if needed. Download the nightly full package here.

Make sure you see images when running the tour (on the first step only) and when editing the tour (System -> Manage -> Guided tours).
