## [03.08.02] - 2026-02-27
### Removed - Fix Language Loading in All Module Overrides
**Critical fix**: Removed standard Joomla module overrides to fix language string loading issues. Following Cassiopeia template approach.
#### Problem
- Default language strings not loading in module overrides (mod_breadcrumbs, mod_login, mod_articles_latest)
- Language constants displayed instead of translated text (e.g., "MOD_LOGIN_VALUE_USERNAME" instead of "Username")
- Custom overrides interfered with Joomla's module initialization and language loading process
#### Solution - Cassiopeia Approach
- **Removed** standard Joomla module overrides:
- `src/templates/html/mod_breadcrumbs/` (2 files)
- `src/templates/html/mod_login/` (2 files)
- `src/templates/html/mod_articles_latest/` (2 files)
- Template now uses Joomla's core module layouts for standard modules
- Language files load automatically via Joomla's module system
- Custom styling can still be applied via CSS using module-specific classes
- **Retained** third-party extension overrides where they add mobile-responsive value:
- VirtueMart modules (5): mod_virtuemart_cart, _category, _currencies, _manufacturer, _product
- Community Builder modules (2): mod_cblogin, mod_comprofilerOnline
- Other extensions (9): mod_acymailing, mod_hikashop_cart, mod_k2_content, mod_kunena*, mod_osmembership, mod_search
#### Cassiopeia Template Philosophy
- Cassiopeia (Joomla's default template) does NOT override standard module layouts
- It relies on core Joomla module files and applies styling via CSS
- Overrides are only created when structural changes are absolutely necessary
- This ensures compatibility, automatic language loading, and easier maintenance
#### Module Count Update
- **Before**: 19 module overrides
- **After**: 16 module overrides
- **Removed**: 3 standard Joomla modules (breadcrumbs, login, articles_latest)
- **Component overrides**: Still 7 (unchanged)
#### Files Removed
- `src/templates/html/mod_breadcrumbs/default.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_breadcrumbs/index.html`
- `src/templates/html/mod_login/default.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_login/index.html`
- `src/templates/html/mod_articles_latest/default.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_articles_latest/index.html`
**Note**: This follows Joomla best practices by using core layouts for standard modules. Styling is handled via CSS. Third-party extension overrides remain for mobile responsiveness.
