The new release 2.8.1 does not change the JCE theme to Retina. We manage many sites and use Watchful.li to update them. We would like to modify the installation package to make Retina the default. What would we modify in the package so that we could install the modified package on all our sites with the Retina theme.

A second question. We would also like to be able to modify the installation package with our own profile. Where could this be done?

Thanks.

This is intentional. It would not have been a good idea to force the Retina theme on thousands of users who were not familiar with it, therefore it was only set as the default on updates from JCE 2.8.0 to 2.8.1 and for new installs of JCE 2.8.x

We would like to modify the installation package to make Retina the default. What would we modify in the package so that we could install the modified package on all our sites with the Retina theme.


As you would really only have to do this once, you can modify the install.pkg.php file in the package to set Retina as the default theme.

For example, change the following lines - https://github.com/widgetfactory/jce/blob/master/administrator/components/com_jce/install.pkg.php#L281-L348 - with this - https://gist.github.com/ryandemmer/92209c15f6da6beaee6a8ab75e177a71

Please note: the install.pkg.php file you need to modify is in the root of the zip package, not in the adminstrator folder as in the the link above.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

I have not tested the changes above, so I suggest you do so on 1 site before applying to all!
