Very thanks for your comment!!
The new compatible J!3 version, will be released later this year.
Muchas gracias y cualquier duda...
Thanks for your comment!
Although the plugin is compatible with Joomla! v3, we have not yet tested to 100%.
The new compatible J!3 version, will be released later this year.
Thanks for your comment!
We hear all your suggestions and issues.
Incomplete is not the adjective you would use: "Problem with DJ-catalog" for example.
I think if you have a problem with the plugin, you should comment on the author's website or by email.
Thanks for your comment!
It's visible and obvious to the visitor they they can make the text bigger.
Very Nice Work! Thank You, karmany.

Thank you very much to you, for your comment.
Thanks for your comment!
The content plugins can also run in custom HTML modules. This is very important. For example, the "Article PXFont Size" plugin, can show in a module.
You can disable the content plugin in a custom HTML module. You must do the following:
Extensions -> Module manager -> (Custom HTML Module) -> Basic Options -> Prepare Content -> No
If this does not fix your problem, on our website or email, we'll help in any way we can.
Is there any way to change default article font size without clicking its bottom? I wish there's more documentation and example/demo in addition to author's website.
Thanks for your comment!
The new version will bring more options.
1.- "without clicking its bottom". -I do not understand what you mean.
2.-I think that "Article PXFont Size" is a simple to use plugin. English is not my native language. More documentation means time. I prefer to spend time on improving the plugin.
Un saludo.
My only "wish" would be the option to be able to change from px to em (or other values)- or have variations to download that were preformatted as such.
Thanks for your comment!
I will study your proposal.
It may be available on the next release but I can confirm to you. If not, your suggestion will be available in two new releases.
It is exactly what I wanted for my website.
Anyway, I just hav an issue with it, my lists are not affected by the plugin.
Thanks for your comment!
GoToon: -"...my lists are not affected by the plugin"
-Yes, this issue will be fixed in the 2.1.3 version.
I'm working on the new version.
Gracias
It is fairly easy to add some parameters so you can float the content left or right, but the positioning is a bit trickier. Can ofcourse be done with absolute positioning, but it would be neeter to just be able to place the icons in a position or attach the icons to a specific div. This would be fairly easy to do with some Javascript...
Any chance you will add the possibility to place the icons in a module position or inside a ID-specific div?
Thanks for a great plugin.

-"Any chance you will add the possibility to place the icons in a module position or inside a ID-specific div?"
-Ok. I'm working on it. In addition, will also support third party components.

I've just started trying it out and I have noticed something which is not a bug, rather it must have escaped attention:
- When one uses Blockquotes in an article, the size of the given text is increased to distinguish between the quote and the rest of the text.
When this plugin is enabled and one clicks on middle button to restore original font-size, the size of text in the Blockquote becomes equal to that of the rest of the text.
Now this is not terribly upsetting, but it does mess with the formatting of the text by the editor (I use JCE).
It would be nice if this was taken into consideration.
Another thing also:
- Would it be possible to include settings to alter the positioning of the font-changer?
1) to include parameters to place it up or down, left or right, upper-left/right lower-right/left or both up and down
2) To place it, if possible, at the same height with the social bookmarking icons, which are placed higher than the font-changer in my template.
Right now, the font-changer just pushes the text further down...
...it would be nice to have the social bookmarking icons and the font-changer aligned horizontally (e.g. I use the valaddthis plugin)
Forgot to say I love the included button colours, the red fits perfectly with my template.
Cheers.
First: Very thanks for your review.
1) The Blockquote font size: -When you press the reset button, the plugin sets the size "initial font
size" (Plugin Parameters). I understand the problem. I will study the best way to solve it.
2) "It does mess with the formatting of the text by the editor". I do not understand. Article PXFont
Size is a plugin that modifies only the font size style (inline).
3) "Alter the positioning". It is possible, but would have to create many templates or create inline
styles. I will study but I can't promise.
4) "social bookmarking icons". Perhaps in the next version, I add icons to share on social networks.
Would probably be nice to have option of variable button sizes, as people who would use them the most might struggle finding them... Just a thought... In any case - great work!
Thanks for your comment!
gidgie: -"variable button sizes"
karmany: -I do not know. I have to analyze it. I can't promise.
Gracias
Thanks for Your Comment!
Javascript is supported by most browsers and runs in your browser. "Article PXFont Size" is validated by W3C, and does not affect the positioning Web.
I understand your opinion, but in certain cases, should not be disabled JavaScript.
I can do the following: "Article PXFont Size" is disabled when the browser does not support Javascript.
Thank you.

I would suggest the developer to avoid setting a fixed font-family for the plugin. You need to change the plugin css file if it doesn't fit with the site's font.
Anyway, thank you very much for this excellent extension.

- There are 4 different types of buttons
- Fast: You can modify any button(3 images!) and set the color you want.(for example with gimp.) -> very easy
- What color do you want the button?
