If a module breaks your site after a simple 'save', you are most likely using the extension 'Advanced Module Manager'.
The 'Advanced Module Manager' replaces the tags's condition with its own and raises a compatibility issue.

How to add a hamburger menu with sliding pane in the Bare 960 Responsive template
- Information
- First published November 12, 2023

In many situations, the main menu of a site may be too big for consumption on a mobile device. One of the many techniques to make a menu responsive and mobile-friendly, is to have the menu transform into a 'hamburger'-style icon (hence, the 'hamburger' menu name) once the site's viewport becomes too small.
The selection of the hamburger icon then results in the opening of a pane, which contains the then hidden menu.
The Bare 960 Responsive template features that functionality out of the box.

Troubleshoot: When opening your extension, I get '3 arguments are required, 2 given' in the administrator console
- Information

When Joomla 4 came out, the CodeMirror editor has had a language string modification.
From the 3 arguments that were passed on to the language string, it now only requires 2.
So why is your Simplify Your Web extension breaking in the backend?
Because it uses the editor CodeMirror in quite a few places in its parameters.
What's the fix?
It's an easy one, actually.
Just make sure you update the language files, it is most likely that they are outdated and do not reflect the change made for CodeMirror.
To update a language (if you have not received a notification), go to System -> Install -> Languages and re-install the language(s) in use in the backend.
And voilà!

Add font icons to menu items on your site (Joomla 3)

- Required:
Menu Icons
Adding a pictogramme to a menu item is visually appealing and useful to visitors of a site.
Joomla!'s core allows the use of images for such task (link image
parameter), but font icons have a definite advantage over them:
- Icons resize and look sharp on any device,
- their color can be changed easily through the use of CSS,
- no more loading of images,
- the icons may already be loaded on the page through the template's fonts.
