Update extension from CLI

Console Plugin ID: plg_console_updatefromcli

Update any Joomla extension straight from the command line, without touching the admin web interface.

Functionality

CLI Extension Updates

Adds a new extension:update command to Joomla's CLI, letting you apply a pending extension update by ID without logging into the backend.

Session-Safe in CLI Context

Joomla's update model normally relies on session-based user state, which doesn't exist in a CLI context. This plugin works around that so updates run cleanly, without the misleading errors CLI usage would otherwise trigger.

Step-by-Step Guide

1 Install the plugin package and enable it under System > Manage > Plugins in your Joomla admin panel.
2 Identify the extension with a pending update, either from System > Update > Extensions or by noting its extension ID.
3 Open a terminal in your Joomla root folder and run php cli/joomla.php extension:update --eid=the_extension_id, replacing the value with the target extension's ID.
4 The command downloads and applies the update, printing the result directly to the console.
Note: This command is especially handy for scripted or unattended maintenance over SSH, where logging into the web administrator isn't practical. It grew out of a discussion on the Joomla core CLI update workflow and was later merged upstream into Joomla itself.

Push Notification

Content Plugin ID: plg_content_ntfy

Get a push notification on your phone or desktop every time a new article is published on Joomla.

Functionality

Notifications via NTFY

Leverages NTFY , the open source pub/sub service, to send push notifications whenever an article is saved and published.

Localized messaging

Notification title, fallback body, and error messages are handled through Joomla's language strings, ready to be translated into multiple languages.

Hooks into the right event

The plugin subscribes to Joomla's content save event, with a dedicated handler that only fires on actual article publication.

Robust error handling

Failed HTTP responses (status codes or network exceptions) are logged to Joomla's log and reported to the administrator, with the HTTP status code included in the message.

Step-by-Step Guide

1 Install the plugin and enable it from System > Manage Plugins in the Joomla admin panel.
2 Open the plugin parameters and set the NTFY server (e.g. https://ntfy.sh) and the topic name notifications should be sent to.
3 Subscribe to that same topic from the NTFY app on your phone or in the browser, so you receive notifications in real time.
4 Publish or update an article under Content > Articles: the plugin will automatically send the title, intro text, and priority to the configured topic.
Note: if the NTFY server responds with an error, the plugin logs the HTTP status code to Joomla's log and shows an error message to the administrator, making it easy to diagnose authentication issues, wrong topics, or rate limits.
