Custom Fields - Spotify plugin PRO - v5.3.3 5 6
1 September 2026
- Security: the helper plugin for update logging is only installed when the update server supplies a valid checksum for it, and only from the Joomill update server
- Fix: the PRO-only settings in the free version showed an upgrade badge with no text next to it. Joomla puts every field description behind the inline help toggle, which leaves the badge without the one sentence explaining what it unlocks. Those fields now render their own description, always visible
- Language: the Spanish file is back at full string parity. The upgrade message shown above the form in the free version was missing and appeared as its raw language key

Custom Fields - Spotify plugin - v5.2.0 PRO 5 6
1 June 2026
- Addition: Supported content types: track, album, playlist, artist, show and episode.
- Security: Hardened the render template against stored XSS:
- Fix: Modernized the player to Spotify's current embed endpoint (https://open.spotify.com/embed/{type}/{id}). The obsolete open.spotify.com/embed?uri=... endpoint is no longer used.
- Fix: Switched stylesheet loading to the WebAssetManager for automatic cache-busting.
- Fix: Replaced the deprecated HTML align attribute with CSS classes.
- Change: Replaced the legacy installer script class with a namespaced installer registered through the DI container
- Change: The field now accepts both a Spotify URI (spotify:track:ID) and a share URL (https://open.spotify.com/track/ID?si=..., including an optional intl-xx/ locale segment).
- Change: The color setting now maps to the embed theme (dark adds ?theme=dark; the default is the light theme).
- Remove: the Follow Button option, which Spotify discontinued (the embed.spotify.com/follow endpoint no longer works).
- Remove: the obsolete View (list/coverart) option; the layout is now driven by the player height.
