Over the last few weeks we've spent some time updating our extensions to use the new Smart Search feature in Joomla 4.
Both OSDownloads Pro and Shack Locations Pro have new releases with Smart Search integration.
Because of this work, those two extensions also now support the Smart Search feature in Joomla 3.
In the next couple of months, OSCampus and JCal Pro will both be available for Joomla 4 and they'll be ready for Smart Search.

Google Analytics 4 and Universal Analytics Together in Joomla
- Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge
- Published: 24 June 2022 24 June 2022
Google Analytics 4 is the newest version of Google's ultra-popular tracking platform.
Google is encouraging users to move to this new version of the platform in the next few months. This is because the older version, called Universal Analytics, will stop working in the summer of 2023, and it not backward-compatible. This post has more background on the new Google Analytics 4.
So, if you want to keep using Google Analytics, you will need to actively update your sites in the next year.
We've heard from Joomla users who plan to run both Google Analytics 4 and Universal Analytics on their site at the same time. This is a perfectly valid approach, and will make for a smooth handover. In this guide, I'll show you how to run both versions on your site.
PS. If you don't want to use Google Analytics at all, Joomlashack still has you covered!
