@alikon You have to rename the update SQL scripts to something newer than the newest in the branch, which is 5.3.0-2025-02-09.sql, so rename to e.g. 5.3.0-2025-02-22.sql. That'S the reason why your update SQL does not run when people update with the patched package from Drone.

And the PR has a conflict which needs to be resolved. If necessary I can help, but not before tonight.

@komalm @crommie As this PR also makes database changes, it is not enought to apply the patch with patch tester, it also needs to apply the database changes from the update SQL script e.g. with phpMyAdmin, or to use the update package created by Drone, but that would currently not work, see my previous comment for explanation.

@alikon Please update your testing instructions to make that clear.

Plus the notifications were already using the email templates without the patch.

[alikon]

as there is no entry in the #__mail_templates table before this pr on the current 5.3-dev branch i really doubt that notification for this event use the mail template @crommie can you clarify how you got that ?

[crommie]

Only scenario I can think of is: I might have fired the scheduled task without enabling email, then got confused, then enabled email, applied patch, fired task, got email from email template, reverted patch, fired task and got email from template again.

The only part I'm 100% sure of is I did fire it both with patch applied and with patch reverted and in both cases it used email template.

You want me to test again on a clean site? And if so: are the PBF sites still there?
