Every update resets positions back to their original "Default" positions.
This means I need to remember to check positions on all updates to the "Template".
This changes the way my site looks.
How can I avoid this issue?
Image attached to see what I am encountering.

Do not delete the original blocks, create copies and new names for their copies. In case of update, joomla, errors if the originals are not in folders occur, forgot to say. I also did this test.

Create copies of blocks that will be used and placing a rename - p at the end of each block name :

check the template that will work and replace the names of origin putting you created.


<body>

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' header' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' mainnav ' ) >

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' spotlight- 1 ' ) >

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' mainbody ' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' spotlight- 2 ' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' navhelper ' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' footer ' ) >
    
  < / body>


Replace p by placing a custom after the name of each block :

<body>

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' header- p' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' mainnav - p' ) >

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' spotlight- 1 - p' ) >

    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' mainbody - p' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' spotlight- 2 - p' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' navhelper - p' ) >
    
    < ? php $ this - > loadBlock ( ' footer- p' ) >
    
  < / body>

Personalize and be happy . This week has been tested this style of work, and did the update , and it worked perfectly after the upgrade. I recommend if you go to customize your theme to replace all references to the piece that will customize to avoid problems . I had one problem that was corrected with a line of css .
Put background-color : # 2e8ece important , and set the custom color ! . But I did not refer to background-image , background and returned to the original color. realized new test replacing all references and this time included " background-image : none ; " and updated my theme perfectly , with no changes this time . then, in case of customization , do not skimp css lines . My slucionado problem was the inclusion of a single line. Even more , I hope I can contribute.

Hi Alan McLaren,

The layout config for template is store in \templates\[your template]\etc\layout folder.
You can backup those files in this folder then restore it after upgrade.
