JoomlaWorks ✊ 🇵🇸

If you've ever used mytop, you know it doesn't work on recent MySQL and MariaDB releases & removed from official Debian/Ubuntu repos for recent OS versions. No more! Introducing mytop v2.0, updated for newer MySQL & MariaDB releases (w/ better defaults): github.com/fevangelou/myt…

@mcuculj It's WIP but it will be published on GitHub very soon, along with the plan going forward.

@joomlaworks Amazing :) Where/when can we test this fork?

Happy new year everyone!

When I first spoke out about the genocide, I was one of the few voices in tech, and it came at a cost. I faced sabotage especially from the VC class: lies, leaks, threats, and blocked investments. It was painful, but I never once regretted standing up for the children in Gaza. Today, the tide in tech has shifted. The truth is undeniable. If you’ve been holding back, now is the time to speak out and call out anyone supporting or celebrating genocide. It won’t cost you much—in fact, it will earn you respect, and more importantly a clear conscious. Plus, alienating those who will hate you for speaking is a feature, not a bug.

You can read about the recent K2 updates here (by the way): github.com/getk2/k2/blob/… - As always, update from within Joomla 3 (the king!) or from getk2.org

Today's release improves probably the last missing piece to make K2 100% usable on mobile devices. 😎

K2 is now at v2.14 with "quality of life" improvements. If you updated yesterday with v2.13, there's no immediate need to update to v2.14. It's just that the new code deployment setup we use literally takes 5 mins to push a new release. #Joomla #K2

IMPORTANT >> #Engintron v2.10 now available. Resolves critical proxying issue on servers updated to Apache/2.4.64 (cPanel). cPanel may hold off the update, but Engintron patches it, just in case. Changelog: engintron.com/docs/#/pages/C… & engintron.com #Nginx #cPanel #WHM

AllVideos v7.0 is now available to download. This new version adds YouTube Shorts embedding & is fully compatible with Joomla 1.5, 2.5, 3.x, 4.x & 5.x (without requiring the compatibility plugin). Changelog: github.com/joomlaworks/al… - Download: joomlaworks.net/extensions/fre…

K2 v2.12 is now available to download. Mostly API changes, no new features. It paves however the way for integrating K2 with the Joomla User Actions Log - Changelog at: github.com/getk2/k2/blob/…

Our K2 discussion board (forum) is moving over to GitHub: github.com/getk2/k2/discu… See you there :)

By the way, we just released a minor update for K2 making it 100% PHP 8.3 compatible (most likely 8.4 comp. as well). For the record, we've been running major K2 production media sites for the past couple of months on a slightly patched J3 on PHP 8.3 without the slightest issue.

Well, whadda ya know... Getting Joomla 3.x working on PHP 8.3 is just a try/catch away (well, at least with K2) 😎 Legacy Joomla lovers rejoice!

@ABielert J5 is much heavier to run on servers compared to J3. And it's queries to the database are far worse. That being said, if u have a small site, u probably won't notice a difference if you're on a good host. That's not what happens though with sites getting moderate to high traffic.

@joomlaworks Joomla 4/5 are NOT broken. Actually Joomla 5 (which I had to move web hosts for due to MySQL requirements) has sped up my large site over 50%. Was getting a C on Pagespeed with J3 & J4. Now getting an A on J5. Joomla is just evolving. Tech is evolving. I love J5...

I understand Michael's sentiment (at this point), but it's exactly this pessimistic view of "it's crap, we gotta change it from the ground up" that unfortunately led to the demise of #Joomla. Mature software CAN & SHOULD be improved, but in small incremental steps.

@ABielert The PageSpeed test is measured in a score from 0 to 100. The one you're probably watching (GTmetrix) is for desktop only and not really accurate. Use Google's official test. Moreover, with J5 you had to migrate. As such your HTML output changed. This is coincidental at best.

@craftysyntax Absolutely. Although we're currently working in private cleaning up J3 from unwanted components/modules/plugins, switching to native JS & ensuring PHP 8.3 compatibility, once everything is cleaned up & with updated branding, we'll open up the repo for contributions.

@joomlaworks If at any point you're looking for help ping me. Would be keen to get on board.

Important announcement... K2 will not be made available for #Joomla 4/5 - change of course buff.ly/4bBsrx1

K2 has been updated to v2.11.20240911 addressing a vulnerability discovered in a third-party library it uses for file uploads. You should upgrade as soon as possible. Download at getk2.org - Changelog: buff.ly/3MD0A4C
