Joomla changelog with voting and status columns

How It Actually Works

You ship a feature. Everyone who asked for it finds out.

You ship a feature

Move an item to Shipped on your roadmap, or create a changelog entry for your Joomla site directly. Add screenshots, videos, and categories.

It becomes a changelog entry

Tag it as New Feature, Improvement, or Bug Fix. Add rich media. Schedule it or publish immediately.

Voters get notified

Everyone who voted for that feature gets an email. The feedback loop closes automatically.

Subscribers stay in the loop

All changelog subscribers get emailed. Your audience stays informed without checking your site.

What Happens Without a Joomla Changelog

Before

No connection between community requests and shipped updates

Voters who requested features get notified when those features ship

This app will help you connect with your users and gather feedback like never before. The UI is clean and focused. The different pages and forms can be fully customized. Ruben is an amazing developer and entrepreneur with a proven track record. ProductLift is going places and you should get onboard.

Aaron Dye

An excellent product with equally excellent support! Everything just works, and when I had questions, the team was incredibly responsive.

Timothy M.

Product Manager

This tool is literally a needle in a haystack. I was using Frill, and this doesn't even compare. The user interface, the way it lays out — so amazing. Also amazing support team!

Ben

Product Owner

Helped us quickly move away from our antiquated spreadsheet to a user-interactive system. User feedback is now collected in real-time. Support has been super speedy!

Marco

Based in Europe, ideal for privacy-conscious customer interaction. Constant improvements by Ruben together with thorough support make ProductLift a solid and future-proof choice.

Chris R.

Founder

By far the most customizable of all the feedback tools and much better than Feedbear. Developer is super responsive and support has been great. Highly recommend!

Who Uses a Changelog on Joomla

Plugin and Extension Developers

Keep users informed about updates, security patches, and new features. Categorized entries help users understand what changed and why.

Agency Teams

Replace status emails with a changelog. Every deployment and design change gets logged with context. Clients check on their own schedule.

Content Publishers

Announce site improvements, new content sections, and feature updates. Keep your community informed about platform changes.

From Idea to Shipped Feature

One platform for the entire product lifecycle. Each step feeds the next.

Collect Feedback

Users submit feature requests and vote on priorities.

Plan on Your Roadmap

Drag items to Planned. Voters see the status change.

Ship and Announce

Move to Shipped. It becomes a changelog entry. Voters get notified.

Document It

Generate a help article from shipped features. AI writes the draft.

In the CMS world, users judge software by its update history. A professional changelog with categorized entries signals active maintenance, security awareness, and community responsiveness.

ProductLift connects your changelog to feedback and roadmap. Community members who requested features get notified when you ship. That transparency builds trust and drives adoption.

Why Joomla Extensions Need More Than Update Notifications

Joomla's built-in update system tells users that a new version is available, but it doesn't explain what changed or why it matters. A professional changelog fills that communication gap and keeps your community informed.

ProductLift's changelog connects to your feedback board. When a Joomla community member voted for a feature and you ship it in your extension update, they get notified automatically. That closed feedback loop builds loyalty and reduces churn.

Embedding a changelog on your Joomla site works through a custom HTML module. There's no component to install, no database changes, and no compatibility concerns with Joomla core updates. The changelog loads from ProductLift servers.

For extension developers maintaining multiple components, a centralized changelog lets your community track updates across your entire portfolio. Users subscribe once and get notified about every improvement, regardless of which component it affects.

Joomla Changelog Extension FAQ

How do I add a changelog to my Joomla site?

Add a Custom HTML block to any Joomla page, paste the ProductLift embed code, and publish. The embed works with any Joomla theme or template. Alternatively, host on a custom subdomain and link from your navigation.

Do I need to install a Joomla extension?

No. ProductLift is hosted on its own servers and embedded via a small code snippet. There's nothing to install, no database tables created, and no performance impact on your Joomla site.

Can I categorize changelog entries?

Yes. Every entry can be tagged as New Feature, Improvement, Bug Fix, or custom categories you create. Users can filter by category.

Will users get notified about new updates?

Users can subscribe and receive email notifications when you publish. If you also use the feedback board, voters who requested a feature get notified automatically when it ships.

Does it support images and videos?

Every entry supports screenshots, embedded videos from YouTube or Vimeo, and animated GIFs.

Can I customize it to match my brand?

Full customization for colors, fonts, and layout. White-label branding removes ProductLift references.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 14-day free trial with full access, no credit card required. Plans start at $19/mo (billed annually).
