and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [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.

## [03.08.01] - 2026-02-27

### Removed - Fix Breaking Overrides

**Critical fix**: Removed mod_menu override that was causing menu links to break and language strings not to load.

#### Problem
- mod_menu override files (default.php, default_component.php, default_url.php) were attempting to load menu-specific layouts that don't exist in the template
- This broke Joomla's core menu rendering system
- Menu links were not functional
- Language strings were not loading properly in menus

#### Solution
- **Removed** entire `src/templates/html/mod_menu/` directory (4 files)
- Template now uses Joomla's default menu rendering
- Custom styling can still be applied via CSS using `.mod-menu` class
- All menu functionality restored to standard Joomla behavior

#### Documentation Updates
- Updated MODULE_OVERRIDES.md: Changed count from 20 to 19 module overrides, removed mod_menu section, added note about removal
- Updated STANDARD_MODULES_README.md: Removed mod_menu documentation, renumbered remaining modules, updated file structure
- Updated testing checklists to remove mod_menu references
- **Added clarification**: MokoCassiopeia is a standalone template extension (not a package)
- Updated updates.xml to version 03.08.01

#### Files Removed
- `src/templates/html/mod_menu/default.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_menu/default_component.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_menu/default_url.php`
- `src/templates/html/mod_menu/index.html`

**Note**: This is a patch release that removes problematic overrides to restore core functionality. Menu styling via CSS remains intact. MokoCassiopeia remains a standalone Joomla template extension (type="template"), not bundled as a package.
