DJ-Embed Light

DJ-Passreset

An easy solution to force your current and new Joomla and Community Builder users to change their password on the first login and after a selected number of days.

DJ-Canonical

This free Joomla extension can help with SEO on your website by providing the canonical link (in the web site's source code) that is read by the search engines and tells them which URL is the real source of the currently browsed page.
In other words - if your page is available from multiple URLs (addresses) - the canonical link will tell the search engine which one is preferred and which one should be indexed.
