mod_header_bar module 3.6 Colours, text alignment, sizes and analytics IDs are validated before being printed into inline CSS/JS; inline CSS can no longer close its style tag; Theme Editor escapes theme names and preview CSS. Fixed Error 500 "Error decoding JSON data: Control character error" on pages showing the bar and on the module edit screen. Install/update repairs every Header Notification Bar module whose settings contain raw line breaks or invalid UTF-8; originals are kept in administrator/logs/mod_header_bar-params-backup.php. Unrepairable settings are reset and the module is unpublished with a notice. The module reads damaged settings safely instead of failing the page. Message, B Message, Extra CSS, Custom JavaScript and Custom Analytics Code are normalised on save (line endings, control characters, invalid UTF-8). Theme Editor no longer writes files while the form loads; inline admin CSS/JS uses the Web Asset Manager (no deprecated Document calls). Test Mode now defaults to OFF for new modules so close/dismiss is remembered. Requires Joomla 4.4+ and PHP 8.1+ (checked on install). mod_header_bar module 3.5 Download Key support on the update site (dlid). mod_header_bar module 3.4 Runs on Joomla 5 and 6 with Behaviour Backward Compatibility disabled Styles, the theme editor script, Google Fonts, and the analytics script load through the Web Asset Manager mod_header_bar module 3.3 Bug Fix: Theme Editor CSS is sanitized on save so module parameters stay valid JSON. Line breaks in custom theme CSS can no longer produce a site error when the module loads. Safer Theme Editor field filter for Joomla admin saves: control characters are stripped, line endings are normalized, and invalid UTF-8 is ignored.
