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 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 |
Humm, right... I removed the link and replaced TUF with The Update Framework (TUF). |
|
@obuisard Could you rename the update SQL scripts from "6.0.0-2025-08-22.sql" to "6.0.0-2025-09-17.sql"? Thanks in advance. |
Updated the description for Joomla 6 to reflect enhancements in child templates and versioning.

Please can you add a border to the image as all the white space results in it getting lost on the page

I tried a border, I am not crazy about it. Too many lines
I tried a shadow, and it is easier on the eye.

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 |
The yellow button is kind of floating on the page and its not clear its a button with an action as opposed to a yellow box with a warning |
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. |
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.
Download the update package of this PR, not the full install as the tour is only available on updates! If the package link no longer works, go to the bottom of this PR (in the All checks have passed section, scroll down to the Download link).
It is possible to find the tour in the list of tours at the top of the Joomla dashboard and run it manually.
Make sure you see images when running the tour (on the first step only) and when editing the tour (System -> Manage -> Guided tours).
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
No tour highlighting new features for Joomla 6.0.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
What’s New in Joomla 6.0! tour is available and runs automatically the first time you log in.
