Frequently asked questions
Easy Articles Grid supports Joomla 5 and 6 with a service provider, dispatcher, namespace, Web Asset Manager assets, and PHP 8.1 or later recommended.
It displays standard Joomla articles in twelve layouts and ten themes, with Ajax pagination, optional live search, category pills, image styling, and design tokens. It does not create a custom content table.
Grid, Masonry, List, Compact, Magazine, News Portal, Featured List, Overlay, Timeline, Carousel, Mosaic, and Bento.
Easy Articles Grid is layout-first: pick a structure and theme, then optionally add light discovery. Smart Content Filter is filter-first for Ajax catalogues with richer filter chrome. Many sites use both.
Yes. When hasMore is false, the pager and button use the HTML hidden attribute, and module CSS keeps them invisible even under template display !important rules.
Yes. Enable live search and/or category filter. Requests go through com_ajax and update the grid in place. Optional URL state can remember search, page, and category.
Intro image, full image, a custom media/URL field, content fallback, or a module fallback image. Configure Image Source and optional Image Custom Field on the Image tab.
Yes. Enter field IDs, names, or titles in Display Custom Fields on the Card tab.
Joomla builds short article links only when a published Articles Category Blog or Category List menu item covers the category (or a parent). The Content tab Route check notice reports this. Display in Menu can be No.
No. Easy Articles Grid uses native JavaScript and CSS with the Joomla Web Asset Manager.
