Last chance to test Joomla 4.3

Joomla 4.3 RC 2 is out

We can finally test the second RC of Joomla 4.3. This is the last chance to test our sites before the release of Joomla 4.3 stable, which is due on April 18.

New sessions announced for JoomlaDay USA

JoomlaDay USA announced new sessions in a newsletter last week. I have been checking the web and I have found only a new one: Nicholas' talk on security "Site Wars: The Phantom Menace". Catchy, isn't it?

Web accessibility: easier than you think

Piensa Solutions have convened the accessibility consultant Vicent Sanchís and the expert designer Ana Cirujano to talk about accessibility and how we can aim for a more accessible site just paying attention to design. Because not everything is coding... It's in Spanish but for sure YouTube transcripts will help you.

You can now buy your tickets for JoomlaDay DACH

We see on the JoomlaDay DACH Instagram account that you can now buy your tickets for the event. This JoomlaDay will be held in Salzburg, Austria in September and although it is geared towards German-speaking Joomla users, it usually has many talks in English.

Joomlaverse in week 14 of 2023

This week, Joomlaverse has not been quiet, and we have found the following publications:

• Hannes Papenberg was the guest speaker of Joomla NXT March and showed us all the improvements in code quality that have been implemented with Joomla 4.
• In his Watch me work session the previous week, Tim Davis tested upgrading several of his sites to Joomla 4.3 RC 1. This week in his Maintenance Mondays, he showed us how to get friendly URLs for all our articles. In another session, he also showed us how the AI Buttons extension works.
• Scala Hosting has published an article with the 5 best backup extensions for Joomla, Can you guess which is the first extension on their list? ;)
• Scala Hosting also published an article answering the question Is Joomla Secure? And last but not least, they also wrote a comparative article between Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.
• Sergio Iglesias offered us an interesting article with the different ways in which we can use ChatGPT 4 with Joomla.

And as Spring is in the air, we saw these discounts we may fall in love with:

• DJ-Extensions announces spring discounts on their extensions valid until April 14
• SmartAddons has posted spring discounts they claim can go up to 50% valid until April 12

Run for them!!

Finally, we found these extension updates:

• Kunena released version 6.0.10 which brings several bug fixes and translation improvements.
