Opening Hours module PRO - v6.2.4 5 6

2 September 2026

• Fix: the module could take the whole site down with a memory error ("Allowed memory size exhausted"). Joomla stores the layout setting as "_:default", and 6.2.3 stripped the colon out of it while making the setting safe to use in a file path. The module then asked for a layout file that does not exist, Joomla answered with the module's own main layout file, and that file kept loading itself until the memory ran out. The layout setting now keeps the form Joomla stores it in, and a layout file that does not exist is skipped instead of loaded

• Security: the styling classes you enter are placed in the page exactly as typed, without special characters being interpreted
• Security: the diagnostic panel is now only shown to Super Users instead of to every visitor
• Security: the layout setting only accepts a plain layout name
• 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
• Language: the Spanish file was missing the review note that is shown at the bottom of the module settings, so it appeared there as its raw language key

Opening Hours module PRO - v6.2.2 5 6

21 August 2026

• Fix: recurring exceptional periods spanning New Year (such as 31.12 - 01.01) never appeared in the upcoming exceptional dates list because the occurrence was anchored a year too late with an end date before its start date
• Fix: localized dates could mangle month names because the short English month names were replaced inside already-translated full names ("Aug" matched inside "August"), producing output like "Aug.ust" and "Sep.tember" in German. Day and month names are now translated in a single pass that never rescans replaced text
• Fix: the Sunday field shipped with the literal "CLOSED" as its default, and Joomla has no global language constant by that name, so a fresh install showed the English word on every non-English site. The default is now MOD_OPENINGHOURS_CLOSED, translated in all languages, and installations that still hold the old literal are translated as well
• Fix: the error message for an unusable time in an exceptional date named the slot in hardcoded English ("Exceptional time 1"), and the message for a well formed but impossible time such as 99:99 referenced a language string that was never defined, so it showed the raw constant. Both now use proper language constants, translated in all languages
• Fix: updates now remove the obsolete en-GB and nl-NL language files that releases before 4.0.0 installed into the core site language folder, so they can no longer shadow the language files shipped inside the module
• Language: refreshed Spanish (es-ES) translation in consistent formal Spanish by Andrés Restrepo
• Language: all shipped text files normalised to UTF-8 without BOM and LF line endings;
• Change: PHP file headers updated to the standard Joomla docblock copyright format
• Change: full code style pass against the Joomla CMS phpcs ruleset (PSR-12)

Opening Hours module - v6.2.2 5 6

21 August 2026

• Fix: the Sunday field shipped with the literal "CLOSED" as its default, and Joomla has no global language constant by that name, so a fresh install showed the English word on every non-English site. The default is now `MOD_OPENINGHOURS_CLOSED`, translated in all languages, and installations that still hold the old literal are translated as well
• Fix: the Layout option in the Advanced tab now uses the core `form-select` class and the `moduleLayout` validation, so it looks and behaves like the same option in the core modules instead of an unstyled dropdown
• Fix: updates now remove the obsolete en-GB and nl-NL language files that releases before 4.0.0 installed into the core site language folder, so they can no longer shadow the language files shipped inside the module
• Remove: the "Font" and "Font Size" PRO teaser fields and their language strings
• Change: all shipped text files normalised to UTF-8 without BOM and LF line endings, and `.gitattributes` now keeps them that way
• Change: PHP file headers updated to the standard Joomla docblock copyright format
• Change: full code style pass against the Joomla CMS phpcs ruleset (PSR-12)
