Started from scratch and all working fine now. Thanks for the quick fix
Probably a silly question but how do I get rid of the speech bubble icon at the top right of articles in Omnicron? I disabled pdf, email, etc but that icon is still there. The file is called details-icon.png

for omnicron 'bubble' go to your template settings > styles > article info style = layout 1 - Kat05 / QA Lead & Support / Germany

I am most of the way through developing a new site with Joomla 1.73, RT Radiance, Mission Control, RT Extensions and phpBB3/RokBB3/RokBridge.
It is all working great - just a matter of adding the content etc, and then along comes Joomla with 2.5.
Obviously I would like to be current with 2.5, but with all this potential for something breaking during the upgrade, all of which is RT stuff, can I assume that RT will be making everything 2.5 compatible in due course and I should wait?
Thanks very much. - www.ourultimatereality.com

Thanks very much Kat - very useful link.
So I ideally need to think about moving to Joomla 2.5 from 1.73 before I launch my site.
The biggest issue I have though, ironically, is that any version of php of 5.3x breaks a really major Joomla 1.x site that has been up for many years, due only to the RT template I am using for it.
I own my own servers so I can upgrade to any version of php/mySQL I like, but that one site has stopped me from going to php 5.3 and beyond. I guess it is time to finally look in to that issue.
The other issue is RokBridge. I am a beta tester for RokBridge 1.7 and have it working perfectly with Joomla 1.73 and the latest phpBB3, but I guess 2.5 will almost certainly break it. I will discuss that with the developer.
I think my strategy must be to launch with Joomla 1.73 - maybe 1.74 - and run a concurrent development site on Joomla 2.5 and switch when it all works.
Thanks again and regards,
Adrian. - www.ourultimatereality.com

hi again adrian,
which template are you using? none of our templates shouls break with php 5.3, so we'll definitely need to get that fixed if there is indeed a bug.

- Actually regarding the Beta of the RokBridge, according to Roeland, it works better in 2.5 than it even does in 1.7!

It is RT Vortex. I know - a "blast from the past" But this is a very, very big traffic site and I can't risk breaking it. I have updated Apache/php many times, but as soon as I go over 5.29 it breaks that one site - none of the other Joomla/RT sites.
The template is slightly, but not drastically modified - mostly graphics, not code - so I don't think that is causing the php 5.3x issues.

If Roeland says it works better in 2.5 than 1.7, knowing Roeland I would most definitely believe him
All I can say from my own experience is that RokBridge 1.7 works absolutely perfectly for me now - after overcoming a few fundamental, and unexpected issues - but Roeland being the perfectionist he truly is, he wants nothing less than absolute perfection
I am very happy hear RokBridge works so well with 2.5. Now for RokTabs, RokGallery and all core template RT Extensions, and I will be very happy
