Algorithm Options Explained for HashCash
- Extension Page: Captcha - HashCash
The Captcha - HashCash plugin (v5.4.1+) for Joomla provides five hashing algorithms to power its invisible proof-of-work (PoW) system. This privacy-focused tool blocks bots and spam on forms such as contact pages, registrations, and comments. It avoids visible puzzles or third-party trackers. The plugin runs computations in the user's browser using JavaScript and the Web Crypto API. Humans experience smooth interactions. Automated attacks face high costs.

Forget bots vanishing after a failed attack. With Captcha - HashCash’s latest feature, every stumble turns into a clue you can track and outsmart. This isn’t just a CAPTCHA—it’s a bot-hunting machine that transforms your Joomla forms into a security goldmine. Imagine knowing who’s attacking, how they’re doing it, and where they’re hitting—all without bothering your users. That’s Detection Profiling, and it’s your key to staying ahead.

Where is the ASIN or ISBN?
- Extension Page: Content - Amazon Product Advertising API
If you're using the RicheyWeb Content - Amazon Product Advertising API plugin, you'll know that it REQUIRES one key piece of information to be present in EVERY tag. That information defines which product you want to display and can be either the ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) or the ISBN (mainly used for books/print publications).
Build a Native Login Popup Using Only Core Joomla
A login popup for Joomla - one that lets visitors sign in on the page they're already on, matches your site's branding, and closes the way users expect - sounds like a premium extension. It isn't. Joomla's core already provides every component needed to build a native login popup: a login module, an AJAX template helper, and the browser's own <dialog> element. Your existing module configuration controls the behavior - including where users land after login - exactly as you've set it up. No subscription, no third-party code, no additional attack surface. Just Joomla, doing what Joomla already knows how to do.
This tutorial builds it from scratch - lightweight, maintainable, and fully compatible with Joomla 4, 5, and 6.
