Introduction

Auto Archive keeps the archived articles of a Joomla site in one category of their own. For the people who run a site, the Joomla Archived state is invisible, while a category called "Sold" or "Past events" can be seen and filled. Editors therefore move articles into a folder or click Archive, and the two gestures do not match: one leaves the article published, the other leaves it in its old category. Auto Archive makes them one and the same.

Features

Archive an article (list, toolbar, edit form or Web Services API) and it is moved to the category you choose.
Save a published article into that category, or move it there with Batch, and it is archived through the Joomla article model, so Smart Search, cache, versions and action logs stay in sync.
Optional 301 redirect from the old address when the category is part of the article URL. It is stored as a 4SEO redirect rule when 4SEO is active, otherwise in the Joomla Redirects component (your choice in the options). A rule that already pointed to the old address is pointed to the new one, so there are no double jumps.
Off by default, permission-aware, and never acts for guests or the command line.
English and Italian. One-click updates through the Joomla Update System.

Requirements

Joomla 5 or 6, PHP 8.1 or later. Works with plain Joomla, with or without YOOtheme; 4SEO is optional. Tested on Joomla 6.2.0 and 5.4.10, PHP 8.4.

Privacy

No external services, no data collected, no tracking.

Cloudflare Cache Purge

By WebG.it

Site speed

Cloudflare Cache Purge clears your Cloudflare cache when your Joomla site changes, and adds a box to the administrator home page to clear it by hand: the whole cache, or just the addresses you type. Visitors and search engine crawlers see fresh content instead of a stale cached page. It is best-effort: if the purge call ever fails, your save is never blocked; the failure is logged and shown in th...
