This update improves support for Joomla 4, fixes a number of bugs reported since the last release, and adds a useful new feature for keeping media urls in sync with file and folder name changes.

Joomla 4 Support

Joomla 4 is due for release today, and to coincide with this, this JCE update improves support for Joomla 4 with layout and UI tweaks, as well as a change to the Search feature in the Link dialog.

Joomla 4 no longer includes the Search component and plugins found in Joomla 3, but instead uses the Smart Search extension. This was not suitable for the Link Search, so versions of the Joomla Search plugins that were previously used in Joomla 3 have been refactored and included with this version of JCE. The Link Search should perform as before, with a few bug fixes thrown in for good measure. In time, search plugins for other extensions will be released, but until then, searches will still be made using installed Joomla Search plugins for those extensions in Joomla 3.

URL Sync

While experimenting with a plugin to synchronise file and folder name and path changes across Joomla article content, it occured to me that a similar system should be included to update urls in the current article with file and folder name and path changes that are made during editing of that article. For example, if you insert an image in an article, then make changes in the Image Manager that affect that image, eg: renaming it or moving it to a new folder, that image url should automatically be updated to reflect that change.

This has been added for images, media (video and audio) and file urls - in the currently edited article - that are changed in the Image Manager, Media Manager, File Manager or File Browser.

This is a maintenance update to fix a few bugs reported since the last release.

This update includes a change to the addition of ItemId values on Joomla links, which are now included by default. ItemId values can be removed from new links created with the Link dialog by setting the Include ItemId option to No in Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> Link.

It is recommended to include the ItemId in all links, as this will ensure the correct operation of various parts of a Joomla website. You can read more about the ItemId here - What is the Joomla Itemid?

This update fixes some bugs reported since the last release. In addition, following on from updated Thumbnail tools added in the last release, a new tool has been added to the Image Manager Extended, File Browser etc. for resizing multiple images after upload.

Resizing Multiple Images

It is now possible to resize a selection of images after upload, with the same features as the Resize tools in the upload dialog. By selecting multiple images in the File Browser, Image Manager Extended etc. and clicking the Edit Image button, a simple Resize Images dialog is displayed, where you can set the resize Dimensions (Width and Height), Crop To Fit option, and an optional Suffix to append to the image name.

As with upload resizing, multiple resize sets - each with their own options - can be created by clicking the plus icon (or deleted by clicking the trash icon).

Dimensions

Set the Dimensions (Width and Height) to resize the images to. The fields will be filled initially with the Resize Width and Resize Height default values set in Editor Parameters -> Filesystem.

Crop to Fit

Checking this box will resize and crop the images to fit the Dimensions. If this is unchecked, the images are resized proportionally to fit within the Dimensions.

Suffix

As with upload resizing, setting a Suffix will create a copy of the original image with the new dimensions and the suffix appended to the file name, leaving the original source image un-resized. When multiple resize sets are created, all empty Suffix values after the first will use the Dimension values for the suffix, eg: flower_800_600.jpg
