Today, we are releasing AutoTweetNG v6.4.5. This version is a regular update with a set of improvements and a new plugin.

This time we are adding support for ListBingo. Listbingo is an essential tool to build your own classified site in Joomla. When a user submits a new Ad, AutoTweet posts the ad to the social channels. Welcome to the family!

Improvements in AutoTweetNG v6.4.5

• ListBingo plugin
• Zoo plugin now supports ImagePro / Multiple Images
• Content Plugin now supports article Intro and Full images
• New System Check for server versions compliance
• K2 plugin, tags as hashtags
• Updated plugins: Iproperty, JomWall, K2, HWDMediaShare, Mosets Tree, SobiPro, VirtueMart, and Zoo
• Javascript / RequireJS optimization
• Logging optimization
• Image min-max parameter in configuration
• Ruletype filter and contextual help
• New Btn-Group for Joomla 3 visual style
• German translations, in the way to be deprecated

About German translations, in the team currently there's no german speaker. Our efforts to keep the translations up to date have been odd in the results. So, we have to remove the German translations, and focus our ongoing efforts improving the English and Spanish product and site documentation.

About Security Practices: Warning! Don't download extensions from untrusted websites!

Today, we've been reading the news about how a user discovered the fact about free untrusted downloads.

In the article Warning! Don't download joomla extensions from untrusted websites!, Daniel describes how he downloaded, and installed an extension from an unknown author. Soon, he discovered that the source code has a hidden link.

Also, he tried to download again the module, to discover a different hidden link! So, the untrusted author's been not only surreptitiously adding links, also rotated the hidden links as a regular operation.

As Daniel notes, a hidden link is one way to get your site hacked. Also, the source code can have worst attack vectors. For example, accesing your site customers, user passwords, and social media accounts.

Now, the module's been reported and it is not anymore listed on the JED.

From Joomla's Security Checklist:

• Use the community: Don't forget the truism, "If a deal is too good to be true, it is." ...

As Daniel concludes "This goes to you too! Be careful where you download your next joomla extension!".
