We have a new round of updates across our Joomla extensions. This issue includes an important security fix, useful improvements to Convert Forms, better schema options for Google Structured Data, and a few solid upgrades to Advanced Custom Fields. Convert Forms: File previews, smarter Smart Tags, and smoother form workflows Uploads are easier to verify, duplicated forms keep their task automations, and notification emails can now show exactly which form triggered them. Search is more reliable too, which cuts down the time spent digging through submissions on busy Joomla sites. Read more Google Structured Data: Better J2Commerce mapping, lodging support, and cleaner custom code Store owners can now pull schema values from J2Commerce custom fields, hospitality businesses can describe themselves more accurately, and Custom Code output is cleaner where it counts. Small fixes here, but they tighten up the structured data your Joomla site publishes. Read more Advanced Custom Fields: Better media previews, Facebook Reels support, and YooTheme 5 compatibility Editors now get visual confirmation when uploading images, Facebook Reels can be embedded directly through the Video field, and YooTheme 5 compatibility is in place. That makes content editing smoother, especially on Joomla sites with heavier builder-based workflows. Read more Important security update In January, we released patched versions of all affected extensions after a vulnerability was responsibly disclosed in the Tassos Framework plugin. There is no evidence of active exploitation, but we strongly recommend updating all affected Joomla extensions to their latest version. Read more We are working on a new Joomla extension We are building a new code snippet manager for Joomla. It will help site owners store, organize, and insert small pieces of code, such as HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, and text, without editing template files every time. Read more Recent Past Updates Here are five key past updates in case you missed them: Joomla 6 Support: All Tassos extensions were updated for full Joomla 6 compatibility, with layouts and code adjusted for the new environment. Password Visibility Toggle: Convert Forms added show or hide controls to Password and Confirmation fields to reduce typing mistakes. Smile Pack Stability Fixes: Accordion, Map, and Gallery modules received schema, editor, and media-handling fixes that improve day-to-day reliability. Merged FAQ Schema Scripts: Google Structured Data now combines multiple FAQ groups into one clean FAQPage entity to avoid duplicate field warnings. Sent to truly Tassos.gr readers.
