Automatically load the Google Fonts from the template
Regarding the GDPR regulation, you must take care about how you are loading the data on your website, especially for the Google Fonts. Of course you can avoid to load it, but what if you want to load a Google font and be GDPR compliant ?
Page Builder CK allows you to get the Google fonts from your template automatically listed in the fonts list, and select it without having to load it from the page builder. You can manage any font from your template, load it directly from your own files on your own server. If you load the fonts from your own files and not from the Google server, then you are compliant with the GDPR regulation about the use of the Google Fonts.

- User action : accept, decline, update
- IP of the visitor, partially masked to be GPDR compliant
- Date and time of the action
- Page url where the consent has been given
- ID of the consent form
- Categories that the user selected in the consent

Create a child template for Joomla 4
The child template feature has been introduced into Joomla 4.1, let's see what it is and how it works.
What does mean a child template ?
This is a template that depends on its parent, loading everything from the parent except if you decide to load some specific files from the child template. Imagine that you have a main template and that you want to create a variation for Christmas : you can do that with a child template for Christmas, loading everything from the parent template but using a custom css or adding a custom position in the index.php file. This is now possible.
You can also imagine that you want to customize the template Cassiopeia that is devlivered with Joomla 4, if you modify the files, your modifications will be lost with every update of Joomla. Now you can create a child template to get all the features, from Cassiopeia but without the risk of loosing your work.
