Documentation: Custom Quick Icons module
Changelog
Custom Quick Icons - v2.9.0 5 6
8 October 2026
- Addition: Joomill scheduled promotion
- Change: the J2Commerce quick icons match J2Commerce's own quick icons module: the same icons and the same choice of items, now including filters, countries, zones, geo zones, tax rates, tax profiles, email templates, invoice templates, custom fields, payment methods, shipping methods, queues, analytics and apps, plus the quick icons of J2Commerce plugins. Titles follow the J2Commerce menu. An existing selection is carried over on update
- Language: new strings in all 9 languages; the Spanish ones are a provisional translation awaiting review
- Change: compatible with Joomla 6.2
- Fix: the J2Commerce quick icons linked to the old J2Store component and no longer worked with J2Commerce 6. They now open J2Commerce itself
- Remove: quick icons for the old J2Store component (J2Store 4 and earlier)
Custom Quick Icons - v2.8.1 5 6
1 September 2026
- Security: links you configure on a custom quick icon now only accept normal web addresses, so a link can no longer run script in the browser of another administrator
- Security: the module title and the Font Awesome kit code are placed in the page exactly as entered, without special characters being interpreted
- 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
