Re: New version of HESK: 2.6.8
Hi Klemen,
I didn't notice a new version had been released in August so I'm a bit left behind...
Is there a hesk267_to_268_diff.zip file available somewhere ? For previous release I had found a hesk266_to_267_diff.zip but I can't remember from where.
After making so many wild changes to HESK, most notably a mandatory login screen (id+password) and changing all hard coded round corners pictures to CSS, applying new version changes isn't as easy as it should. Not being a true programmer, I don't have and don't know how to use a versioning tool (hey! I have an editor!
) so a diff file would be most welcome to apply the changes manually.
If you've got such file lying around, please let me know. Thanks.
PS : I see the mismatched tags I had reported back in May have been fixed

Re: New version of HESK: 2.6.8
I uploaded the diff here: 267 to 268
The docs and new/modified third party libraries are attached, everything else is in the text file.
You should really learn to use a versioning system such as Git (I use it with TortoiseGit on Windows). It takes some effort to grasp the concept at first, but it's a life saver and makes modifications so much easier.
With Git, you can simply create a new "branch" with your modifications, then apply it automatically to any future updates.

Re: New version of HESK: 2.6.8
As master Klemen said, use a versioning tool or just write your changes down.
You can also use a tool like CSDiff to compare the original files with your modified ones to find your changes.

@klemen : thanks for the diff file, that's a great help.
@alcazar : in another life, computing was 100% of my work time. Back then these tools didn't exist (PHP didn't exist either. It was the good old time of APL
). In my current job, computing is a mere 0,05% of my work time (and most weeks 0.00%) and though I had a look at versioning, it didn't look so straightforward that I could make sense of one tool in a matter of a couple of hours. And I don't know of anyone who uses one who could give me a 101 scratch course. Like most people who are not in the trade, when I have a computing nail, I use my hammer (editor)
