Using images in this way means that they are not translatable. Is that a good idea?

[brianteeman]

Is the intention for this to replace Post-Installation messages?

[Kostelano]

Regarding "untranslatable" pictures - good point. I would prefer that all possible pictures for translation were like that.

Something like the title enhancedtourheader_en-GB.png. If the system does not find a picture with the title enhancedtourheader_YOUR_LANGUAGE_CODE.png, the standard en-GB is loaded.

[brianteeman]

Neither the sql for tours or steps adds a value for ordering.

Why does this matter? The module displays tours ordered by ordering. So the whats new is always at the top of the list where it probably should be at the bottom next to the welcome to joomla tour so that it doesnt always display in the dropdown

not that simple as we dont have a method for you to add an image file into the language pack

The idea is for the What's new tours to highlight new features of a release (major or minor) on an update, of interest to the user, which is not quite the same as the post-installation messages, which targets admin, pointing that there are changes in htaccess... At least, that is how I see it.

I have tested this successfully.. everything worked great.

NOTE: on the 2nd image, the envelope icon is hard to see for someone that sees perfectly well so definitely not good enough for those with visual impairments.

Thank you for testing Emmanuel @exlemor! I have updated the image in question.

Using prebuilt package no "Whats new in Joomla 5.2" available:

"Show all tours":

index.php?option=com_guidedtours&view=tours shows 12 published and no unpublished tours.

Using prebuilt package no "Whats new in Joomla 5.2" available:

Hello @fgsw, you have to install the update package, you cannot use the full install package.
When on new installs, you get the Welcome tour.
On updated site, you get the What's new tour.

I have updated the test section to add that information (sorry, it was missing).

Thanks for trying the PR out!
