How do Joomla Privacy Extensions work?

Since GDPR took effect, users are allowed to request service providers to remove or download any content related to their accounts.

Usually, they can contact the website owner to do it. However, this is very manual and time consuming.

 

Joomla provides an extension called Privacy, which acts as an advanced contact form. The important thing is that it helps website administrators to work faster and more securely.

 

Admin can see every request and its status to decide next work. Processing (deleting, exporting data) also becomes easier.

For users, when sending a request to the administrator, they need to login and confirm again via their Email, so the security will definitely be higher.

 

Currently, this feature is available on Joomla from version 2.5 and up. However, it is only really necessary when the GDPR comes into effect. That's why this extension is not known by many people.

There are many extensions that provide similar functionality on JED, but this one is the best in my opinion.

Jennifer Stephenson How to Protect an Article with a Password in Joomla?
Is there any way to modify the language on the page? The text is "Press correct password to read post". This is confusing as there is nothing to press. It should read type or enter and there should be a clear box to fill in the password, which is not easily viewable or eminently clear at a glance. And unlock should say something like submit or click here. I'm guessing this is in the code, and not editable, but just checking, thank you!
Chad Criswell How to upload and attach files to Joomla articles
I am confused on something and hoping you can clarify things. Please see this video for a visual example: https://screenrec.com/share/Xbw03sSjhc

I migrated about a thousand items with attachments from K2 using your tool and attachments plugin. I initially did this on a test account. Everything worked fine over there. The migrated article attachments worked fine. Then I backed it all up and moved it to my live domain. Now none of the attachments load. All I get is Exception File Not Found and I can't figure out where to look. Turning on error reporting and debug don't tell me anything. I am guessing the old files were not moved during the migration correct? Or how does that all work? I still have all the original folders in the original places as far as I can tell.

The component managed to convert the K2 items to articles, but when clicking on an article in the backend this error pops up:

An error has occurred. 0 implode(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type ?array, string given

Return to Control Panel

Any idea what's causing this?
