FG Package Manager

New n

Introduction

A native Joomla admin component that discovers, installs, updates and uninstalls the FG series of GitHub extensions - no manual "Install from URL" per extension, no separate catalog to maintain by hand.

How it works

Discovery: every GitHub repo under a configured owner/org that carries a specific GitHub topic (default FGcodework / fg-joomla-extension) is tracked automatically. Tag a new repo with that topic and it shows up here on the next refresh - no reinstall needed.
Compatibility: reads each repo's own updates.xml (the same file Joomla's native "Find Updates" already uses), matching the running Joomla and PHP version. A repo with a subfolder build split (e.g. a separate Joomla 6-native build under joomla6/) is tried automatically if the root file doesn't cover the current Joomla version.
Install / Update / Uninstall: uses Joomla's own core installer (Installer::install() / ::update() / ::uninstall()) - the same mechanism as Extensions › Manage.
Enable / Disable: toggles #__extensions.enabled directly, mirroring the green check / red circle on Joomla's own Extensions: Manage screen.
Settings: one click to a plugin's edit screen or a component's own admin screen, where Joomla has a well-defined target for one.
Changelog preview: expands the latest CHANGELOG.md entry inline, with a link to the full file on GitHub.

Requirements

Joomla 5.0 or newer (including Joomla 6)

FG Watermark

By ferino

FG Strip Comments

By ferino

Extensions Specific Non-sorted

A Joomla system plugin that removes internal marker tags (e.g. {-- My City --}) from the rendered front-end output — from module titles, article titles, menu items, and so on — while keeping them fully visible in the administrator back-end.

FG Responsive Tables

By ferino

Style & Design

A Joomla 4/5/6 system plugin that turns any `` into a labelled, accessible card layout on narrow screens — without touching the desktop table. Features CSS Grid card layout — label and value each get their own column, so a long header (e.g. "Cena za 1 hod. nad paušál (min. 3 hod.)") can wrap without ever colliding with the value. Accessible by default — explicit role/scope attributes co...

FG Backend LangSwitcher

By ferino

Languages

Lets every administrator switch their own backend (admin panel) language in one click — without touching the site's global language settings and without needing another admin's permission to change it back. By default the switch is temporary: it lasts until you log out, and never writes to your user profile. An optional setting makes it permanent instead, saving the choice to your profile's adm...

FG Admin Login Customizer

By ferino

Admin Styling

A Joomla 6 system plugin that gives the /administrator login page its own visual identity - logo, background, colors, shadows, and custom CSS/JS - without touching the Atum template itself or the rest of the back-end. Nothing about a logged-in admin's working experience changes; only the login screen a guest sees before authenticating is customized. Part of the FG series of Joomla extensions. Fe...

SEO & Metadata

A native Joomla 5/6 system plugin that removes the Joomla generator meta tag (``) and, optionally, common fingerprinting HTTP response headers: X-Powered-By (sent by PHP) X-Generator (sometimes sent by templates/extensions) Why Fingerprinting headers and meta tags make it trivial for automated scanners to identify your CMS/PHP version and target known vulnerabilities. Removing them is a small...
