A picnic-style tour of Jewel Osman's Joomla extension catalog โ 60+ modules, plugins, components and scripts prefixed "JO", spanning Joomla 4/5/6. We'll install and touch as many as time allows and note the standouts.
Starring JO Remote Admin โ the standalone crash-rescue tool that lets a Super User re-enable extensions and toggle debug mode from outside the Joomla backend when the site is down and the admin login won't load. If your only options were phpMyAdmin or "restore from backup", this is a third option worth knowing about.
Other tools we'll poke at (subject to time): JO Safe Mode, JO Photocard Generator, JO Module to Component, JO Text-to-Chart, JO Word Cloud, JO Fun Captcha (a tic-tac-toe CAPTCHA โ yes really), JO Alternative Admin Menu, JO Horizontal Admin Menu, JO Ayat Gallery, JO Ayesha Gallery, JO Before-and-After, JO Beautiful Tooltip, JO Timeline, JO Opening Hours, JO Countdown, JO Read More Toggle, JO Feature Box, JO Cache Cleaner, JO Table Of Contents.
Jewel Osman is a solo Joomla developer based in Bangladesh who has been quietly shipping under his own brand at jewelosman.com. Live install, live poke, live commentary โ no rehearsal. Vendor site: https://jewelosman.com
