DV Related Articles

Introduction

Keep your visitors engaged with clean, lightweight related-article cards that blend naturally into your site template.
Many related-content extensions are bloated with heavy JavaScript, abandoned, or produce rigid markup that breaks your layout. DV Related Articles Core is built specifically for modern Joomla 5 and 6 editorial sites that value speed, clean HTML, and mobile usability.

Core Features:
- Flexible module placement: Place related cards in your sidebar, footer, or any standard template position.
- Accurate classic matching: Match articles by shared tags, category, or a balanced hybrid of both.
- Fallback options: Automatically fill open slots from the same category or latest articles so cards are never left empty.
- Mobile swipe row: On smartphones, cards transform into a touch-friendly horizontal swipe row using native CSS scroll-snap (zero JavaScript overhead).
- Design control without code: Adjust background tones, borders, corner radius, and accent colours directly from the module options.
- Clean semantic HTML: Uses your template's typography and font sizing with zero "!important" rules.
- Lightweight & fast: Pure Joomla API, efficient database queries, and no jQuery or external dependencies.

Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Joomla 5.x and Joomla 6.x
- PHP: Native PHP 8.2 and 8.3
- Architecture: Includes site module and shared related-links engine
- Licence: 100% GPL v2+ (Free forever)
