One of the most common requests we've had from Joomlashack members is more video tutorials.

Sure, there's a lot of documentation available for Joomlashack products, but many of your are visual learners. So we've launched the Joomlashack YouTube channel. Look out for interesting Joomla how-to videos every week.

Say Hello to Shack Article Manager, our 28th Extension

: Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge; Published: 15 May 2019 15 May 2019

Over the last few years, we've been adopting extensions here at Joomlashack.

These extensions include Tabs and Sliders, JCal Pro, jInbound, Shack Forms, Shack Toolbox and Shack Open Graph amongst others. These are powerful and mature extensions that users love.

Joomlashack users have given us many suggestions for other extensions to adopt. One idea has been suggested far more than any other: User Article Manager. This extension was really popular in early Joomla versions. It allowed you to accept articles from the frontend of your site. It also allowed writers to manage their articles without logging into the Joomla admin.

Back in January, we looked ahead to 2019 and set three main goals for the year:

Provide customers with a smooth transition to Joomla 4.
Integrate our extensions. For example, we can expand OSMap to provide support for all our new extensions.
Improve the Joomlashack brand by redesigning the logo and rebranding our extensions.

Introducing the New Joomlashack Logo

I owe a big "Thank You" to the Joomlashack community.

Just over two months ago, I wrote a post called "We Are Working on a New Joomlashack Logo".

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.

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.
