The JoomLine team is pleased to present the long-awaited update of the VKontakte community integration module — JL VK Group version 2.9.0! In this release, we focused on compatibility with the latest Joomla versions, updating the VK API, and improving the user experience.

What's new in JL VK Group 2.9.0?

• Full compatibility with Joomla 5 — the module now works with all current Joomla versions, including Joomla 4.4.x and Joomla 5.x.
• VK API update — the latest version of openapi.js is used for correct widget operation and support for new VKontakte features.
• New VK Application ID parameter — added an option for explicit VK API initialization via VK.init (relevant for advanced integration scenarios).
• Improved parameter settings — field types in the module settings have been updated for more convenient and correct data entry (e.g., numeric fields, color selection via colorpicker).
• Extended language files — language variables for Russian and English have been updated and expanded.
• Removed unused helper — code optimization and increased module stability.
• Fixed minor typos and descriptions — improved documentation and parameter descriptions.
• Improved logic for hiding the additional link — hiding is now implemented more correctly via styles.
• Minor internal optimizations and code refactoring — the module has become even more stable and faster.
