Reem Content Templating ComponentPlugin

No Limits Except Your Creativity*** ***Modified to accept any html, tables or divs*** Customize content appearance by creating your custom layouts using the component 'Reem Content Templating'. The layouts are HTML tables used as a template for your content items. You can draw whatever table you want, and then assign cells for [INTRO], [FULL], or . Cells with [INTRO], will be filled by the inroduction, and others with [FULL] will be filled by the full text, and those having "{"mosloadposition position"}" will be filled with the modules assign to 'position'. Key Features: - Ability to divide your contnet area to colums, such as journals. - Ability to add google adsense vertically inside your content. - You can relate a template to glbal/sections/categories/content items. - If there are more than one related template at different levels, the overridng order is content, category, section then global. - Ability to load modules into all of your content without adding the command mosloadposition to every content. - Ability to use table formatting to your content areas, such as background colors, alignment, borders, etc... and others you will explore by using the component.

Here is the component I've been looking for since I started using Joomla a few years back. I've used for several sites since, it's not a finished product (if I may say so...), but overall it's just excellent! So now i'm waiting for the J! 1.5 version, Native or Legacy.
This component and mambot is great!
with a litle of creativity you TRANSFORM your Joomla 1.0.X!

It a OPEN solution with no encrpyption for JoomSuite Content: (You can implement 80% features, 50% more stable)

This module is interesting, however it would be perfect if it was possible to assign a image cell to the tables. For exemple the image stands on the left and the full text on the right...

Thanks for your review, please provide more explaination for your request on the forums of joomlareem.com.

I would like to try this - have installed it even. But there is no demo and very limited instructions. The author seems to assume everyone who runs Joomla sites are programmers, but some of us aren't. Detailed instructions and demos are would help those of us with a more limited understanding. I do know basic html, but don't quite get what this does. Is it for page layout or content layout? Does it insert content from elsewhere? Is for creating online magazine layouts? My favorite components have a lot of documentation, plenty of examples and polished demos. I'm not saying this isn't an amazing thing - it just doesn't tell me it is.

Sorry for this confusion.
It is for content layout.
When you enter a new content you have two text areas, intro text and main/full text.
So you can imagine your content items as composed of 2 pieces of text, [INTRO]=intro text and [FULL]=main/full text, then go to the component Reem Content Templating, create a new template, draw any html layout you dream of with aid of the html editor attached, assign positions/places for the content pieces by writing [INTRO] and [FULL], so at content viewing this placeholders will be replaced by the original text.
And you can add to the layout the following:
- Static text, by hardcoding it.
- Modules by using the moslaodposition mambot.
and so on

At last,I'll manage to show a demo on my site for more explanation.
Thanks

This is an interesting and useful idea that I haven't seen before.

It is a good way to 'enforce' some level of consistent content formatting on site members' articles.

I found that using div's in the template worked better than just tables. Might have been a problem with JCE, I don't know.

The bot only uses the first template you define and ignores others.

I guess the author is going to implement template to section/category/article mapping in a later version.

With this kind of mapping, I would have given it 5 stars.

Keep up the good work Mohamed.

I realized that mapping to a specific entity is a must to be usefull extension, so I did it!

Thanks tayhow
