With Content Templater you can create predefined reusable content templates.
Not only can you make complete standard page layouts, you can also use Content Templater for text snippets. So any piece of text you want to use more than once, just make a content template of it! You can also set just about all the content options there are.
Under the editor you will get a list of available templates. If you select a template, your predefined content will be pasted in your article or other content item. And all the options you have set in the template will automatically be set (like title, alias, publishing settings, show icons settings, etc.)

Where have you been all these years? Why this extension is not on the front page as a highlighted fav I will never know.
If you have clients that have to create new pages with the same layout on every page this is the component for you!
Great deal of thanks to Peter van Westen, programmer of this component.

I have downloaded quite a few (500+) excellent extensions for Joomla on my PC in a designated Joomla folder. Every extension has it own sub folder with the same name. I have to say that I had to rename Your component starting with !!!! so the folder is now on the top of all folders. I think that no further comment is necessary.
BRAVO!
BRAVO!
WOW! This is a real time saver. Is there any way you can add variables? I'm using it to paste in code for a button that needs to be modified for each article and it would be great if a bunch of variables showed up that I just fill in.

Thanks for the review. Please use my forum for support issues.
Absolutely useful component, easy to manage and it really saves your time if you have standard content to add or you want to achieve particular article structure or look.
0.42 version works fine with italian special characters too.
Thanks to Peter and Nonumber! for support and his great extensions.

For me 0.4.1 is STABLE! Very good support by Peter in the Forum and also on my special encoding-problem. Now even with import/export-function ... just incredible!

Thanks for helping me tackle the special character problem. However, some people are still reporting the same kind of problems with the new version. So I have to fix that before going stable...
thank you.
for finally giving me the option to let my clients control their content, even if they dont have any internet skils at all! this is a great extention, from a talented creator.

This should be built into Joomla, it's simply awesome, and if your not using it, your losing valuable time working in your content. Even for the simplest of articles, this saves you countless hours. It has for me.
Awesome, Awesome job, thank you so much for this extension.

Thanks! Have you also found out that you don't have to use the content area of the template. You can also make a template to set a bunch of settings and just leave the content alone. :)
If you find yourself retyping the same content over and over get this baby. You create various snippets in the component and then at the bottom of your editor you see the title of each snippet, so you can select it - and it's pasted in wherever you want it to go.
I'm using it for one site, and have another site where my client needs to put in some specific content on many pages. Now the client can just select the generic snippet from the menu and paste it in -- no mistakes, no spelling errors, etc.

What I find to be an awesome combo is this mod + Mass Content. If you assign wysiwyg to the first content article in mass content and select assign format copy to each additional article "clone" you can quickly create templated mass articles with identical formatting,,, Useful to some I am sure.

Thanks for the review and suggestion.
What do you think should be improved for it to be worth 5 stars to you?
Exactly what I was looking for ! Thank you very much. This deserve a donation once the stable verson is available !

I'm taking the Google approach: keep it in beta for ever so you don't get sued for a bug :)
No, just kiddin'. The update/install method I have developed is the main reason it is still in beta. It will become stable soon...
I have been testing this extension for about an hour. I have to admit, it works, it is good probally will become a must in my sites. All functions I have tested worked marvelous. Thanks peter for the brave work.
I am writing a site for a friend and want to hand off the admin to him when it is built. The biggest trouble was going to be keeping it tidy so that I dont have to manage it too frequently. That is where Content Templater came in.
I now have templates for every different section and area of the site with instructions visible on each template to explain to/remind my friend of what to do and how to do it. The default choices are all set for him and my life will be soooo much easier in the future.
I had one issue that was dealt with very quickly by a coureteous offer to look at my site personally, so top notch support too.
Respect NoNumber! good job m8.

Yeah, I don't quite understand that this is not a standard feature in Joomla. But hey, that's the nice thing about free extensions :)
I first installed version 0.1.1. It had a bug and did not work on my site. In version 0.1.2 the bug has been eliminated.
It works very nice and is exactly what I had been looking for.

I just released version 0.2.1 in which you can set just about every field and option a normal article has. I hope you like it.
Templater is one those extensions that fill in a gap in the Joomla core functionality. Highly recommended for sites that need to standardize content.
Wish list: To be able to set a default template that is loaded in the article automatically for articles in a certain category - in the current version, users need to select a template from a drop down under the editor first.
This extension is excellent.

Thanks for your review.
Content Templater is an editor button. |This basically means that it is activated once you click on it. It would be pretty tough to make it automatically place text end such as soon as the page is opened. It is probably posible, but I'm not sure I'm going to do it, because it has some drawbacks too.
