Features
Serves several websites from one Joomla installation, one domain name each, sharing the same content, the same extensions and the same administration.
Each domain can open on a home page of its own, so the same Joomla answers with a different landing page depending on the address your visitor typed.
Each domain can use its own template style, one of your child templates included, so your websites do not have to look alike.
Each domain can own a menu, and you decide what happens when a visitor opens a page belonging to another domain: display it, send them to the domain it belongs to, or answer page not found.
Each domain can open in its own language and in its own currency, while your visitors keep the language and currency switchers.
Each domain can carry its own site name, used in the page titles and in the emails sent from it.
Each domain can send its emails under its own sender name and address.
Each domain can have its own favicon and a stylesheet of its own.
Each domain can be told how search engines should index it, and can be taken offline on its own while the others stay open.
Other domain names can be declared as aliases of a domain, either redirected to it or served as they are.
Modules can name the domains they belong to, on their own edit form, for the websites that share one menu.
Every setting is optional: a domain that only names a template style changes nothing else, and a domain name you did not list is served exactly as before.
Standalone extension.
Integration with HikaShop / HikaMarket for shops
A domain can be given to a HikaMarket vendor, and it becomes that vendor's own shop: its listings, its categories, its brands, its links and its cart hold that vendor's products and nothing else.
A product your shop sells through several vendors, each with a variant of their own, appears on the website of each of them, showing their own version.
A vendor website can have a product feed and a sitemap of its own, listing what that website actually sells, with its own addresses.
An order remembers the website it was placed on, so the emails sent later, by the scheduled tasks for instance, link back to it and not to your main address.
Installation
1) Point each of your domain names at your website on your hosting, with a certificate for each of them
2) Leave the "Site URL" setting of your Joomla configuration empty
3) Download the plugin from our website
4) Install it via the Joomla Extension Manager
5) Enable the plugin
6) Open its settings and add one line per domain, filling in only what that domain should change
Features
3D product display for HikaShop: your customers turn the product around, zoom on it, and place it in their own room in augmented reality.
A 3D model is added in the product's images, next to its photos, and behaves like one: same place, same drag and drop to order them, same delete.
When you add a model you are asked to turn it to the side customers should see first; that view becomes the product image everywhere the shop shows one, and the model opens the same way round on the product page.
Hovering the model's thumbnail shows the model itself, exactly as hovering a photo shows that photo.
Turn, zoom and pan with the mouse, with a finger and with the keyboard, plus buttons to zoom in, zoom out and put the model back the way it was.
"See it in your room" in augmented reality on Android and iPhone, with no application to install.
GLB and glTF files are used as they are; STL, PLY, OBJ and FBX files are converted for the web by your own browser when you add them.
If you have no model, an "Add a 3D model" button opens a window where you drop photographs of the product, or pick the ones it already has, and an image-to-3D service builds a model from them, from a few cents a model; it is off until you enter a key, and nothing about your products leaves your website before that.
The model can be shown in the image gallery, above or below the product image, or at the bottom of the product page.
Nothing is loaded on the pages of products that have no model, and the model itself is only downloaded when the customer asks to see it.
The viewer and the conversion are included in the plugin, so nothing is loaded from an external service and no data about your visitors or your products leaves your website.
Installation
1) Download the plugin from our website
2) Install it via the Joomla Extension Manager
3) Publish it from the Joomla plugin manager (type "hikashop", name "3D product display")
4) Edit a product and drop its 3D model in the product's images, next to the photos
Use
This plugin is compatible with all the editions of HikaShop
Compatible with PHP 7.4 minimum
Compatible with Joomla 4.x, 5.x and 6.x
Displaying the model in the image gallery requires HikaShop 6.6.0 in build number 2609081328 or above, the number written at the top of your HikaShop configuration page; on an earlier build the model is displayed above the product image instead

Create a protected staging copy of your Joomla site, review every change with a visual diff, then sync it back to live with an automatic backup — all from inside your admin panel.
SnugStage creates a full, protected staging copy of your site's database and files so you can safely build, test, and review changes before they ever touch your live site — no separate server, no manual file copying, no guesswork.
Spin up a staging environment in one click. SnugStage clones your site into an isolated copy, locked down by default, so you can install extensions, test template changes, or edit content without any risk to what your visitors see. When you're ready, SnugStage shows you a clear diff of exactly what changed — database rows and files — before anything goes live. Sync only what you want, and every sync takes an automatic backup first, so a rollback is always one click away.
Core features (Free)
Pro features
Every new install starts on SnugStage Free, and a 14-day full-access Pro trial is available with no credit card required — enter a free license key from the Options screen to activate either.

🎉 **softMedia ** turns a Joomla site into a digital storefront: customers browse categories, buy software, templates, e-books, images, or services, pay through PayPal (or another payment plugin), and download what they bought — all without leaving Joomla's own permissions, mail, and menu system.
softMedia isn't a generic "add a shop" component bolted onto Joomla — it's built specifically around digital delivery. Products carry versions and changelogs like real software releases, downloads are metered per purchase (unlimited, count-limited, or time-limited), and every price, tax, and discount calculation runs through one central pricing engine so what the cart shows, what the order records, and what the customer is charged always agree.
Products that behave like releases
Every product can carry a version number, a release/updated date, and a full changelog with colour-coded change entries (feature, fix, and so on) — the same way you'd track a real software release. Products can also be tagged with Media Types and Media Versions, two open-ended taxonomies you define yourself: use them for platform compatibility (Joomla 4/5/6, PHP versions) or for anything else you want to badge a product with.
Three ways to sell the same file
A product can be a downloadable file, a category of files the customer picks from after purchase, or a service — where each individual file is tied back to the specific order that paid for it, so entitlement is checked file-by-file rather than product-wide. Downloads can be unlimited, capped at a number of downloads, or capped to a time window, and the storefront tells the customer exactly how much access they have left.
A cart and checkout that do the math once
Subtotal, coupon discounts, and taxes are all computed in a single pricing engine (SoftMediaModelCart::getItems() and friends), so the mini-cart module, the full cart page, the AJAX price summary, and the final order record are never out of sync. Coupons can be scoped to all products, specific products, specific categories, or exclusions of either — and other plugins can contribute their own discounts or taxes into the same total.
Reviews and comments, gated by ownership
Customers can only review a product once they've actually purchased it (or have free-download access to it) — there's no drive-by review problem to moderate around. Reviews carry a 5-star rating; comments are plain feedback threads. Comments are active to any registered user and can be enabled or disabled just as the Reviews can.
Real Joomla mail and accounts, not a private layer
Guest checkouts automatically get a Joomla user account created for them, and every transactional email — new order, order approved, for both buyer and admin — is a Mustache-templated message you edit from the component's own settings, not a hidden template file.
PayPal built in, more payment methods pluggable
softMedia ships with a PayPal plugin (Smart Buttons, sandbox/live mode) wired directly into checkout. Payment methods are a plugin group, so additional gateways can register themselves into the same order flow.
Search that matches how customers actually search
A live-search module answers as the customer types. Products can also be indexed into Joomla's classic Search and into Smart Search (Finder), so they surface in whatever search experience the rest of your site already uses.
Joomla 4 → Joomla 6
Migration doesn't have to mean starting from scratch.
Moving an existing Joomla 4 website to Joomla 6 can quickly become a complex undertaking.
Content must be preserved, structures taken into account, and data transferred to the new installation.
For large websites, manual migration can easily require many hours of work.
This is precisely where our Joomla Export & Import extension comes in.
It enables a controlled workflow:
Joomla 4 → Export data → Joomla 6 → Import data
v1.0.0 is READY NOW:
Categories (with nested set)
Articles (+ featured articles in #__content_frontpage)
Metadata (robots, author, rights, SEO fields)
Menu items (with auto-rebuild)

Profile-based file management for Joomla across the server, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV and S3 with per-user access scopes, protected paths and a full activity log.
Next File Manager is a Joomla-native file manager built as a React single-page app inside the admin. Browse and manage the whole Joomla install and any number of additional drives, from a folder elsewhere on the server to an SFTP host, an FTP/FTPS account, a WebDAV or Nextcloud share, or an S3-compatible bucket through one interface, without ever leaving Joomla.
Where an FTP client hands over a shared credential and the run of the account, Next File Manager wraps the browser in a Joomla-native control layer: profiles assign users or user-groups to a permission set naming exactly which folders they see, which of sixteen file operations they may run, how large their uploads may be and which extensions are allowed. Every change is written to an activity log, and Joomla's own configuration files and system trees are protected for everyone. A proper file manager without giving everyone the keys to the server.
configuration.php, .env files and private keys are unreadable below Super User by any route, including inside a ZIP, and Joomla's own trees are write-protected before you configure anything.Everything you expect from a desktop file manager, in the Joomla admin.
- Grid & list views — a tile grid with large type icons, or a dense sortable list
- Live folder tree — a lazily-loaded sidebar tree of every folder you have access to, with breadcrumbs
- Drag to move — drag a selection onto a folder tile or a tree node, including across drives
- Right-click menu — a context menu carrying every operation your profile allows, and only those
- Info panel — type, size, modified date, image dimensions, full path and a writable flag
- Filters — narrow a folder by kind, extension, size range or modified date
Get files in and out without a separate FTP client.
- Drop-anywhere upload — drop files on the window; a progress queue shows each transfer and its result
- Per-profile rules — maximum file size, an allowed-extension list and an always-blocked denied list
- Checked twice — validated in the browser for fast feedback, then enforced again on the server
- Download & ZIP — a single file, or a whole selection packed into one archive
- Cross-drive transfers — streamed rather than buffered, so a file larger than the memory limit still goes through
Read and change files in place.
- Syntax-highlighting editor — CodeMirror with modes for PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSON, SQL, XML and Markdown
- Image & media lightbox — full-screen preview with byte-range streaming, so video scrubs instead of buffering
- Rename, duplicate, new folder — the everyday operations, each individually grantable
- Recursive search — find a file anywhere in a place, with its location shown in the results
Pack and unpack without shell access.
- Create ZIP — archive any selection in place
- Extract in place — unpack into the containing folder
- Zip-Slip blocked — every entry is checked during extraction, so an archive cannot write outside its target
- Access-checked contents — a protected file cannot be smuggled out inside an archive
One interface over every filesystem you use.
- Five drivers — server folder, SFTP (SSH), FTP/FTPS, WebDAV/Nextcloud and S3-compatible object storage
- Storage / place split — a storage holds the credentials, places name the folders on it, so one SFTP account exposes several folders under one password
- Encrypted credentials — ciphertext keyed off the Joomla site secret, never sent back to the browser
- Capability negotiation — each driver declares what it can do, and the interface hides what the protocol cannot support
- Test before save — a live connection check that also pins the SFTP host key fingerprint
Joomla-native permissions that go well past on/off.
- Profiles — granted folders, sixteen togglable operations, upload limits and feature gates
- Scoped roots — a place plus an optional subfolder plus a read/write flag; the user sees that subtree and nothing above it
- User & group assignment — assign to individual Joomla users or to whole user-groups, direct beating group
- Deny by default — a user with no profile gets nothing, and every operation is re-checked on the server
Safe defaults a misconfigured profile cannot switch off.
- Protected paths — an editable pattern list shipping with configuration.php, .htaccess, administrator/, libraries/ and more, protecting a path and everything under it
- Secret files — configuration.php, .env, *.key, *.pem and .htpasswd cannot be read, downloaded, previewed or copied below Super User
- Per-path locks — lock an item from the context menu; unlock overrides are Super-User-only and gated behind a switch that is off by default
- Traversal hardening — every path canonicalised and re-checked against its granted root, through symlinks and on case-insensitive filesystems
Answer "who changed what, and when".
- Every mutation recorded — uploads, deletions, renames, moves, copies, edits, archive operations and lock changes
- Full context — the acting user, the action, the place and the path on every entry
- Filterable viewer — a searchable grid with per-column filtering
- Admin-only — never exposed to profiled users
Put the file manager on the public site, not just the admin.
- Menu-item driven — publish the same app for logged-in front-end users
- Same enforcement — the identical profile checks, protection rules and command allowlist as the admin
- Session-aware — an expired session raises an in-place re-login dialog and replays the interrupted request
- No admin route — front-end users manage files without an administrator login
Next File Manager can reach the whole Joomla install, so it is built security-first and follows Joomla's security best practices throughout.
../, a symlink, or a case trick cannot escape.configuration.php, .env files, private keys and .htpasswd are refused to anyone below Super User on every route, and no setting lifts that.📚 Documentation - https://nextsoftware.dev/documentation/next-file-manager

StarTech Slider is a 3D parallax slider for Joomla 6 with unlimited slides, smooth auto-scrolling, and a live rain effect. It doesn't require jQuery, doesn't require any extra bloat, and features graceful fallback even for older browsers.
StarTech Slider is a Joomla 6 module that transforms a standard homepage banner into a three-dimensional, vibrant scene. Background layers smoothly diverge as the user moves the mouse, creating a sense of depth, and on top of everything is a subtle, delicate raindrop that stops automatically as soon as the user scrolls down the page (the module doesn't waste browser resources).
You can have as many slides as you like—one, three, or ten. Each slide is completely independent: its own background, its own decorative foreground layers, its own title, subtitle, description, and button. Switching features a soft crossfade, with autoscroll, indicator dots, and navigation arrows. Pauses on mouse hover and keyboard focus—the slider doesn't interfere with reading the text and works correctly with keyboard navigation.
WaypointAds is a modern advertising management extension built specifically for Joomla, designed to make creating, organizing and displaying advertising straightforward without forcing website administrators to fight their way through an unnecessarily complicated advertising system.
At its heart is a simple and logical workflow: Advertisers → Campaigns → Creatives → Zones. Create the advertiser, organize their advertising into Campaigns, add the Creatives visitors will see, and choose the Zones in which those advertisements may appear. WaypointAds handles the Joomla integration behind the scenes, including creating and managing the modules required to display your advertising.
WaypointAds Core provides everything needed to manage advertising from the Joomla Administrator Backend using a clear Advertiser → Campaign → Creative → Zone structure. Even if you are managing only your own website advertising, an Advertiser record provides the organizational foundation for Campaigns and Creatives. Core includes standard and custom advertising sizes, Campaign scheduling, Creative rotation, Click and Impression tracking, statistics, approval controls and flexible Zones. Smart In-Article Placement can go further by examining article content and surrounding media to find an appropriate advertising location rather than simply placing an advertisement at a rigid predetermined point.
Getting started is deliberately uncomplicated. An optional Learning Example demonstrates how the major parts of WaypointAds work together, while experienced Administrators can begin with an empty system and build their own advertising structure immediately. Clear warnings and safeguards help protect active advertising without constantly getting in the Administrator's way.
For websites that want to sell advertising, WaypointAds Commercial extends the same system with advertiser Applications, Packages, Rate Cards, advertiser self-service, an Advertiser Portal, Competitive Groups, payment and membership integration, and additional commercial workflows. There is no need to abandon the advertising structure you have already created as your requirements grow.
Whether you need to display a few house advertisements on a small Joomla website or manage advertising for multiple businesses across a busy publication, WaypointAds is designed around the same principle that guided its development from the beginning:
Advertising management should work with Joomla—not make Joomla harder to use.
