Wijziging log
COM_OCHSUBSCRIPTIONS_GENERIC_TYPE Wijziging
Foutoplossing Cast IDs to int in syncUsers()
Foutoplossing Cast influencer ratio to int before SQL interpolation; guard zero division
Foutoplossing Gravatar userid > authorid
Foutoplossing Escape username before innerHTML inject in ochsharedby.js
Foutoplossing Closing ochBlog configuration tried to return to ochSubscriptions instead of ochBlog
Nieuwe functie EU AI Act transparency badge for articles: Adds an "AI Transparency" custom field (auto-creatable the same way as Avatar/Canonical URL etc.) that lets authors classify an article's AI-involvement level, displayed as a colour-coded badge in the Article Info block: red/warning for required disclosure categories, blue for voluntary ones, green for fully human-written, no badge when unset.
Nieuwe functie Add OchimageCleanup helper to remove orphaned uploaded images for ochImage when a user changes avatar. Cleanup button is in backend > components > ochBlog > Users (when ochImage plugin is enabled)
Nieuwe functie Add auto-create/edit buttons for ochBlog's custom field config settings. ochBlog configuration can now create the required Avatar, Background, Image, About, Canonical URL custom fields directly (via Joomla's own com_fields model) instead of requiring the customer to create them by hand first, and offers a direct "Edit Field" link to a field once selected.
Nieuwe functie Added de-DE, fr-FR, es-ES, nl-NL translations across pkg_ochblog: Full admin + front-end translations
Wijziging Use whereIn() for SQL IN() clauses in AuthorsoverviewModel
Wijziging Replace unserialize(curl) with HttpFactory + json_decode for Gravatar
Wijziging Escape URL + scheme allowlist in followmebutton layout
Wijziging Update helpers
Wijziging Check core.admin permission on users.syncUsers task
Wijziging refactor: use \$this->escape() instead of raw htmlspecialchars() in views/layouts
Wijziging Merged OchbloguserfieldsField/OchblogcontentfieldsField into a single OchblogfieldsField driven by a context attribute, since both were otherwise near-identical.
Wijziging The image editor field used in ochBlog's avatar and background image upload has been rebuilt from the ground up. The previous version relied on a third-party JavaScript library that had become unmaintained over time. It is now based on the latest cropper.js.
