WT Layout select
COM_JED_INTRODUCTION
Joomla Custom field plugin: dropdown with PHP layout files from configured folders, including active template overrides.
The plugin adds a custom field type wtlayoutselect.
Joomla field capabilities:
- scans configured folders with PHP layouts;
- shows available options in a dropdown, including template overrides (
/templates/{template}/html/...); - saves the selected value into field rawvalue with layout and basePath (JSON);
- provides computed value in value (
layout_id) that can be used with JoomlaLayoutHelper::render().
This field is useful when you want to let a content manager choose a layout variant without editing template PHP files:
- articles (comcontent): article sections, cards, CTA blocks;
- contacts (comcontact): different contact card templates;
- categories and lists: different partial layouts for different contexts;
- module output zones: include content/modules in the required layout variant.
- ability to create reusable layout blocks for Joomla landing pages.
