Content Templater, by Regular Labs - Joomla Extension Directory

Introduction

Core Enhancements

Content Templater - make predefined content.


With Content Templater you can create predefined reusable content templates for your Joomla articles, and much more.

No more need to copy and paste pieces of text you want to use more than once, or to manually copy article settings. Just make a content template of it!

You can very easily insert these content templates into your Joomla article (or other content) with one click by using the Editor Button. Or you can even make them load automatically based on specific conditions!

And Content Templater goes much further than just the content. You can also make entire page layouts, and automatically set/change any available option in the article edit form, like the Category or Title of an article, and even Custom Fields.

Here are some examples you can use Content Templater for:
★ Have a text snippet or a sentence you use often? Prepare it once, then simply insert it in articles with one click.
★ Instantly assign a predefined set of options to your article.
★ Pre-fill any article field with a predefined set of values, including custom fields.
★ Make completely custom page layouts, with any HTML code or style you need, that you can quickly re-use any time you want.
★ Use it in combination with Articles Anywhere (which allows you to place any article data anywhere) and literally create your own custom article layout, without the need of coding a template override and without needing to know any PHP.

And on top of everything, you can also assign content templates to conditions: would you like to have a custom layout automatically placed when creating an article in a specific category? You can do that with Content Templater!

Content Templater allows you to save a lot of time when creating articles (or other content). It's the Joomla extension that you never knew you needed, but once you try it, you will never want to go back!

Its a very useful component. So far I was copying the html code (from code editor) to reproduce a similar looking page in a new article. This component has simply made my life easy.



Thanks a lot for this one.



Cheers!

Very useful

It is extremely useful to have content templates ready to use for your contents. Such functionality should be in the core imo.
Perfect for setting up Category Blogs for non-technical users.



On our site we have lists of completed projects that are filled out by miners in the field.



With Content Templater, all they have to do is select our Project Template and all the settings and article layout is done for them.



This has saved me countless hours of work, not to mention drastically reducing the amount of training documentation!



Thanks Peter for putting so much time and effort into not just this extension, but all your extensions.
I have been trying to use this with the formu for frontend admitting of the event. Little bug occured, wrote the author and the replay was within couple hours. Now it is working perfectly, highly recommend to everybody, who is trying to adjust frontend forms for the clients. This extension does miracles... Thank ou Peter.
This is a must have - something you appreciate more and more after you start using it.



It not only helps productivity but also helps to maintain consistent style. And it is so easy to get started and use it.



Given that it's free [well I know he would like a donation]there is no risk - install it and see how much it will make your life easier.
Hi all ! I am using this extension for a collaborative online magazine (w joomla 1.5) and only few contributors are actually concerned about the general outlook of their articles. This component help me keeping everything graphically consistent. It works perfectly.



Not only the component is very well designed and well thought but as soon as I pointed out a tiny bug to the developer, he kindly send me back a corrected version (in like one hour !). Chapeau!



If only Content Templater could also prevent users from posting in the wrong category...!! Then, it would be definitely the best online magazine's editor's friend !!!
I have used this extension since 2 years and it is simply amazing.

I have many editors and intranet was terribkle with many styles and layouts. After installing this extension all was wonderful, finally the same style and layouts!!!!



Thank you very muvh!!!
This extension saves time and opens up your creativity in building layouts for your articles.



Like all NoNumber extensions, Content Templater is simple but does so much. It lets you craft your own article layouts, then call up those layouts any time you're creating content.



Using Content Templater you can add straight HTML, code, module references, and whatever else you need to be repeatable.



All you have to do is create a Joomla article, as you are used to doing in Joomla. Add your material, then save the article. Content Templater lets you choose that article as a template for other articles.



An administrative panel lets you view or edit all your available templates. In your WYSIWYG editor, a handy button calls up your list of templates so you can choose which one you want to use.



I've used Content Templater for many sites. Most recently, I used it for an e-commerce site to lay out product pages. I created standard product information, a product gallery, related items listing, and a shopping cart element.



This extension simply makes creating and managing content types natural and easy.



Finally, support is amazing. The developer is friendly, knowledgeable, and very available for help.

Awesome

One more Peter's extension that is on my "must install" list!



I first used Content Templater some two or three years ago, when i needed to simplify the article entry process for our magazine's non tech savvy authors. I needed an easy way to explain to them how to format the intro text, where to place the image etc.



Content Templater did the job extremely well.



Later i realized that beside helping other authors, i can also use it myself when i have some repetitive tasks to do, so i'm now using it almost on a daily basis.



Today i needed to find a way to simplify the process of adding entries to a specific K2 category, without having to choose the category from the dropdown list, and on my surprise i've found out that the new version of CT now supports K2 too.



After trying it out, i had some issues (nothing was wrong with Content Templater, Joomla template i was using was creating problems with JS compression) so i posted a question on NoNumber's forum, and i got a response in a matter of MINUTES!





Not only this extension is great, but the support is better than what you get from commercial extensions, well, at least from ones i've used until now!



Thank you Peter! :)
