Joomla allows us to modify the behavior of the extensions and updates. In this article I will show how to fine tune how extensions installation and updates work in Joomla.

First, login as administrator. In the top menu click System -> Global Configuration: 

Then in the left sub menu, go and click Component -> Installer:

In this section, you can configure the following items:

Joomla! Extensions Directory: Show or hide the information at the top of the installer page about the Joomla! Extension Directory.

Updates Caching (in hours): For how many hours should Joomla cache extension update information.

Minimum Stability: The minimum stability of the extension updates you would like to see. Development is the least stable, Stable is production quality. If an extension does not specify a level it is assumed to be Stable.

And that’s it! With this you can further customize your Joomla website.

This concludes Extensions and updates how they work in Joomla.
