Joonla 5 has the good idea of enabling some quite flexible password format restrictions to be set. However the bad part is that they have set some stupid default.

When using Text::_() I often find I want a space before or after the translated string when it is not possible to use Text::sprintf()` - for example when using two successive translations to make a composite phrase.

echo Text::_('FOO').' '.Text::_('BAR');  

Annoyingly Joomla 5 is still using the ucm_content table for linking tags to items. This is a pain if you want to manipulate tags programatically as you have to get the ucmid before you can use the add an entry to the contentitem_tag_map table..

Here's a simple solution that uses the batch() command in AdminModel and works ok even if the item doesn't yet have ucm_content core_content_id . The batch function creates one for you.

Well it finally arrived  about a week ago, but with a weekend away between now and then I'm only just getting to grips with it.
