Hello
I needed to update OS2World. Joomla was getting obsolete and it gave me a lot of messages that the version was insecure. Plus I also had the pressure that PHP gets updated and older versions became insecure in case a vulnerability is found. An old version of PHP can be a secure risk for a server.
The issue here is that to update Joomla I needed to change the design template of the site, since the older was incompatible, and also I needed to program in PHP the module to see the latest forum posts from the main page. So there are changes in both that may no work like the past version.
The disadvantage of the new design template is that, even that is functional on Dooble on OS/2, does not render exactly as other navigators (even the same Dooble) in different platforms. I tested Dooble OS/2 for Qt5 and Qt6 with the same results.
The forum script is also a old and discontinued version, but I will leave it this way as long as I can (or as long as PHP allows it) because the latest version of SMForum is not compatible with our version of Firefox and we will need to switch to Dooble.
Regards
