Joomla Extensions

This page showcases nearly all of the Joomla extensions that I have developed over the years. Please also visit my profile on the Joomla Extensions Directory.

Article Pager

Article Pager for Joomla transforms content management by providing customizable article templates. Ideal for sections like ‘book reviews,’ it allows for consistent layout designs with specific fonts, colors, and arrangements. Create a template once using Joomla’s editor, then simply use tags for variable content like titles and descriptions. Associate each template with an article category, and upon selection, the text auto-fills with the chosen layout. Update the template to change the layout across all linked pages. For inquiries, contact the developer.

Among the plugin’s capabilities, you can choose to display buttons for printing, downloading (in the PRO version), sharing, and emailing the article. The supported social media icons include Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok. These icons can be placed at the top or bottom of the article.

Additionally, you can customize the appearance of printed or downloaded content using style sheets (e.g., font, color, background, line spacing). Article Tool is also compatible with K2. For any issues or suggestions, feel free to contact the developer!
