Summary
Introduction:
The video, sponsored by mysites.guru, covers Joomla 5 update notifications.
Tim Davis shares Joomla maintenance tips.
Learning from a Glitch:
A Cloudflare caching issue revealed insights about Joomla 5 version updates.
Update Notification Plugin:
In Joomla 3 and 4, update notifications were managed by a plugin.
The same plugin exists in Joomla 5.
Finding the Plugin:
Navigate to System -> Plugins and filter for "update".
Locate the Task - Joomla Update Notification plugin.
Reasons to Disable Notifications:
You might disable notifications if someone else manages updates, you use a service like mysites.guru, or are active in the Joomla community.
Joomla 5 Scheduled Tasks:
Joomla 5 uses a scheduled task to trigger the update notification plugin.
This task runs every 24 hours by default.
Disabling the Scheduled Task:
Go to System -> Scheduled Tasks and disable the task to stop email notifications.
Disabling the Plugin:
You can also disable the plugin directly via System -> Plugins.
Ensures the task won't run if the plugin is disabled.
Customizing Notifications:
The update notification task allows customization, including recipient, priority, frequency, and manual triggers.
Conclusion and Bug Notice:
Minor bug where the task seems to complete even if the plugin is disabled.
