Question about security updates via elts

Post by ant-mi » Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:04 pm

Hi, I'm writing this post as I cannot find any contact method in elts.joomla.org to ask them directly or any details here in the forum regarding how the elts program work and I need some clarification before enabling my subscriptions.

Does elts give the option to download the update and perform it manually or it connects Joomla installation to the update server to do it directly?

It is important for us to perform our updates manually as we have some heavily customized eShops in which we must know exactly which files and tables are going to be affected with each update in order to restore their customization afterwards or skip their update completely.

If the only option is to connect our Joomla installation to elts update server to let all updates be performed automatically they will break our websites in multiple levels.

Thanks a lot.

https://elts.joomla.org/
1 - Get your LTS-License

After purchasing your licence, an individual update link is generated for each page.
2 - Adjust the Joomla! updater configuration

Enter your update link in the configuration of the Joomla! updater component.
3 - One-Click-Updates as easy as before

That’s it. LTS updates can then be installed with just one click via the backend, just like previous "regular" updates.
