Joomla: Updates Table Doesn't Exist

: Written by Nick Savov Nick Savov; Published: 02 April 2019 02 April 2019

One of our students was having a problem updating his site. The issue was the "updates" table in the database had become corrupted.

We found a solution for him, but it required running a query in phpMyAdmin. He wasn't familiar with the process of running a database query before, so we created this tutorial for him and you.

In the step-by-step tutorial, we'll describe the issue and demonstrate how to resolve it.

I described all the problems we found while trying to design a new logo. In the end, I presented a new version of the logo and said:

Our Response to an OSMap SQL Injection Report

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 06 March 2019 06 March 2019

This week, both Joomla and Joomlashack had to deal with inaccurate security reports.

The Joomla team posted a detailed rebuttal to one security report. It turns out that the issue was fixed in 2015!

Here at Joomlashack, we were alerted to a possible security issue with OSMap.

To the best of our knowledge, this report is false. We did post our own detailed response on the reporting site called "Packet Storm". However, not only did Packet Storm remove the security report, but other sites picked up the report with our response.

The Wright Framework Now Allows You to Customize Colors

: Written by Valentín García Valentín García; Published: 19 February 2019 19 February 2019

Starting from version 3.7.0, the Wright framework now allows you customize colors directly from the Joomla admin area.

This means now you can change the default color scheme to whatever you wish. Plus, all our Joomla templates will have the same feature.

We've resisted adding this feature in the past because we wanted to keep Wright as lightweight as possible. However, we listen to Joomlashack customers and this is a frequently requested feature. We will continue to expand on this feature in the next few weeks and months,

Say Hello to Shack Analytics, the Newest Extension at Joomlashack

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 11 February 2019 11 February 2019

Say Hello to Shack Analytics, the New Tracking Extension for Joomla

We're delighted to release Shack Analytics for Joomlashack users.

Shack Analytics is a single extension to manage all the analytics code on your sites.

Joomla site owners often have scripts such as Google Analytics, Adwords, Clicky, Facebook, MailChimp, and other sites. But those scripts are always hidden away inside random modules, plugins or template files.

Shack Analytics allows you to see all your analytics on a single screen. This is the same philosophy that inspired OSMeta. We want to make life easier for you by gathering everything in one easy-to-find location.

Shack Analytics makes it easy to assign analytics to your whole site, but you can also choose specific pages or menu links. This means that Shack Analytics is excellent for targeting specific landing pages or "Thank You" screens.
