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!

Peter - Thank You



Posted on 14 February 2011
I recently found myself needing to set up content templates when making an intranet site.



I turned to Content Templater. I found that this suited my needs perfectly, forcing content into categories without needing to explain to users how Joomla works. Perfect.



I came across an issue whereby an override I set, wasn't actually overriding the field as expected. Peter actually logged into my live site and investigated and fixed the bug. Then released a new version 5 minutes later for everyone to make use of the fix.



Here is a guy who provides this plugin for FREE. and then goes out of his way to maintain it. I didn't hear any of the usual "it's your template, go speak to your template provider".



Thank you Peter, you can provided an excellent plugin with even better support. Thank you.

good job

I use this extension for a real estate website. I could not find an extension I like to manage the properties. With this one, I can setup the template I want all I have to do is changing the data.

Works 100%

Great Extension!



Posted on 31 August 2010
an easy to use an intuitive component, much easier to use than the most CCKs, thanks the author
While I wouldn't call Content Templater a must have, it is a great extension that can make repetitive entry much easier. With it's ability to pre-set every option for a content item, including text, Content Templater can enforce data entry for users who may not be totally comfortable with editing content. Think of it as a baby CCK without all the overhead.

So Content Templater gets four stars for being very, very good at what it does with one star held back just because it's not must-have.

Absoluty Great!

Wow! another good one. Great extensions, great support, free... NoNumber! Rulz 2010!



Thanks, Peter.

Brilliant

Great extension just what I was looking for.

Lets all of the content look the same, I just wish I had it earlier.

Data submission is now much faster and neater.
This component is AWESOME. I have long had the issue with clients of trying to teach them how to format certain things nicely. We usually design the site with the content in the site and even when trying to keep it simple, clients can get confused when trying to duplicate what we've done. Enter this component and it resolves the issue 100%.



This component easily saves me several hours in support time monthly. THANK YOU!

very very very good!

I use this to create templates for each approved authors so now when an article is published it has very specific information related to the authors category. Great work on this, it's a huge time saver!
