Hello super joomlers!

During your Joomla! journey, you will from time to time have a problem that can be solved by: "The Power of the Guest"

In fact it is the Guest access level, that is by default in Joomla! core

The Power of the Guest relies upon the fact that we can show elements of our Joomla! site like (menus, articles, modules, etc...) just to guests (not logged in users)

Therefore we can tailor an awesome user experience just for our guests.

Don't hesitate to use this functionality in your Joomla! sites.

That's all for today! Take care

Hello super joomlers!

If you are like me and like using the latest and greatest stuff, you might have tried to install Joomla! 4.x-dev on your computer. But maybe you had the same issue than I had. Either on frontend and backend modules won't show up. However no prominent error pops up. An SQL query to the rescue! Here it is:

UPDATE `#__modules` SET `publish_down` = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' WHERE 1=1;

UPDATE `#__content` SET `publish_down` = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' WHERE 1=1;

At first sight, the second query is not required. But just in case the articles won't show up, you can execute the second query. To do this you can use tools like phpMyAdmin, adminer, Sequel Pro, HeidiSql or MySQL Workbench.
Take care super joomlers
