  1. HC - Social Media

    HC - Social Media (Joomla Module)

    Professional and scalable social media management module for Joomla 4 / 5 / 6.

    HC - Social Media is a modern Joomla module designed to provide a structured, flexible and professional way to manage and display social media links within Joomla websites. It was developed following Joomla 4+ architectural standards, ensuring long-term maintainability, clean separation of responsibilities and compatibility with future platform updates.

    This module goes beyond a simple list of links. It is a structured system focused on layout flexibility, per-item customization and clean rendering without compromising performance or code organization.

    Architecture and Design Principles

    • Clean architecture based on Dispatcher + HelperFactory
    • Strict separation between data processing and rendering
    • Layout files responsible only for HTML output
    • Helper layer responsible for normalization and validation
    • Modular CSS separated per layout
    • Fail-safe rendering approach
    • Structured project organization prepared for future evolution

    The module ensures safe updates without breaking changes and maintains consistency across Joomla versions.

    Available Layouts

    • default – Institutional and balanced presentation
    • minimal – Ultra clean and compact display
    • inline – Horizontal row with optional separators
    • boxed – Clickable card-style blocks
    • stacked – Vertical tiles (icon above / text below)

    Each layout includes its own dedicated CSS file, keeping visual structure isolated and maintainable.

    Per-Item Customization

    Each social media item can optionally use individual CSS Variables when customization is enabled.

    Supported variables:

    • --hc-bg
    • --hc-text
    • --hc-border
    • --hc-bg-hover
    • --hc-text-hover
    • --hc-border-hover
    • --hc-border-width
    • --hc-radius
    • --hc-py
    • --hc-px
    • --hc-shadow
    • --hc-transition

    This approach allows advanced styling control without modifying layout files.

    Technical Specifications

    • Compatible with Joomla 4.x, 5.x and 6.x
    • Compatible with PHP 8.0+
    • Joomla Update System ready (Update Server included)
    • Dependency Injection architecture
    • Parameter normalization layer
    • Basic sanitization and validation
    • Device visibility control (all / desktop / mobile)
    • SVG, image and CSS class icon support
    • Clean and maintainable code structure

    Roadmap

    Planned improvements include:

    • Native WhatsApp integration inside the module
    • Dedicated phone number and predefined message fields
    • Optional highlighted WhatsApp layout
    • Accessibility improvements (ARIA refinements)
    • Color preset system
    • Extended customization options

  2. System - WhatsApp Button

    plgsystembtnwhatsapp — Floating WhatsApp Button Plugin for Joomla

    Lightweight and professional WhatsApp floating button plugin for Joomla 4 / 5 / 6.

    plgsystembtnwhatsapp is a System type Joomla plugin designed to automatically inject a floating WhatsApp button into the frontend of a Joomla website. It enables direct communication between visitors and the site owner without modifying the template structure.

    The plugin was built with a clean and modular approach, ensuring performance, maintainability, and compatibility with modern Joomla versions.

    Architecture Overview

    • Plugin type: System
    • Event interception: onAfterRender()
    • Frontend-only execution
    • Dynamic HTML/CSS/JS injection
    • Template-independent structure
    • Media separation for cache optimization

    The plugin integrates into Joomla’s rendering lifecycle, injecting the button only after the final page output is generated.

    How It Works

    • Loaded as a System plugin
    • Executes during the onAfterRender event
    • Verifies frontend context (site client)
    • Injects floating button HTML structure
    • Applies positioning CSS
    • Loads optional JavaScript interactions
    • Outputs final rendered page with the WhatsApp button

    This method avoids template overrides and guarantees global frontend compatibility.

    Key Features

    • Floating WhatsApp button
    • Custom phone number configuration
    • Predefined message support
    • Display control (global or specific pages)
    • Button position control (left / right)
    • Optional custom color configuration
    • Lightweight and non-intrusive
    • Fully compatible with Joomla 4.x, 5.x and 6.x
    • PHP 8.0+ compatible

    Technical Decisions

    • System plugin type for global injection
    • onAfterRender event to ensure final HTML processing
    • Context verification using isClient('site')
    • Media folder separation for structured assets
    • Dynamic injection to avoid template modifications

    This architecture guarantees minimal interference with site structure while maintaining full functionality.

    Best Practices Applied

    • No backend interference
    • Frontend-only rendering
    • Organized installation XML
    • Media asset isolation
    • Safe execution strategy
    • Joomla 5 and 6 compatibility ready

    Planned Roadmap

    Future improvements include:

    • Multiple phone number support
    • WhatsApp Business API integration
    • Custom animation presets
    • Configurable display delay
    • Menu item visibility control
    • Automatic dark mode support

  3. Oscampus Jcomments — Revation

    OSCampus JComments Plugin for Joomla – Seamless, Secure, and Fully Customizable Integration

    The OSCampus JComments plugin bridges the gap between the popular Joomla commenting system (JComments) and the OSCampus Pro LMS. It enables your students to discuss materials, ask questions, and leave feedback directly on course and lesson pages. This solution eliminates the need for manual template overrides while ensuring seamless integration.
    Unlike manual code implementation, this plugin handles the necessary JComments extensions automatically and provides convenient backend toggles to control exactly where the comment form appears without hacking core files. All features are designed in accordance with Joomla 6 architecture.

    Key Features:
    • Full compatibility: Tested with Joomla 6, OSCampus Pro 3, and JComments 4.
    • Separate output control: Ability to enable or disable comments for Courses and Lessons independently via the administrator panel.
    • Dynamic integration: The plugin automatically generates required comoscampuscourse and comoscampuslesson files for JComments upon installation.
    • Automatic database configuration: Sets up default JComments settings (form display, notifications) for OSCampus tables automatically.
    • Seamless rendering: Safely injects the comment form at the end of the page content via the onAfterDispatch event.

    Configuration Details:
    Show in Courses. When enabled, the JComments form appears on the main course description pages. This allows users to leave general reviews and feedback about the course as a whole.

    **Show in Lessons. **When enabled, the form is available under individual lesson content. Students can ask specific questions about the topic and communicate with the instructor directly in the context of the learning material.

    Important Note: This plugin is an independent development by Revation. It acts strictly as a bridge between two existing components and is not an official product, nor is it endorsed or supported by Joomlashack (developer of OSCampus) or the JComments development team.
