JT Content Notify 1.0.8 is a major stability, security, privacy, and Joomla integration update.

This release improves notification read-state synchronisation, multilingual and menu-aware routing, module validation, database maintenance, and Joomla Privacy integration.

Highlights

  • Added a dedicated Joomla menu item type for the notification centre
  • Added Joomla Privacy export and removal integration
  • Added automatic cleanup of orphaned user and module read-state records
  • Added MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL update schemas
  • Added Mark all as read support to the View All page
  • Notification articles are now marked as read before navigation
  • Guest read state is synchronised between the dropdown and View All page
  • AJAX requests now preserve the active Itemid, language, and menu context
  • Automatic refresh pauses while the browser tab is hidden
  • Overlapping notification AJAX requests are prevented

Security and validation

  • Replaced public exception details with generic JSON error responses
  • Added server-side logging for AJAX failures
  • Added validation for module publication dates
  • Added module language and access-level validation
  • Added enabled-extension validation
  • Added Joomla menu-assignment validation
  • Retained Joomla CSRF protection for all read-state changes

Fixed

  • Guest notifications becoming unread again on the View All page
  • Articles remaining unread after being opened from the View All page
  • Incorrect article routing on multilingual or menu-assigned pages
  • Access through unpublished, expired, inaccessible, or incorrectly assigned module instances
  • View All links failing when JavaScript or AJAX was unavailable
  • Duplicate database-key errors caused by concurrent read-state updates
  • Category and date display settings being ignored on the View All page
  • Hard-coded version information in the administrator component
