JR Prism displays your content in four ready-made, responsive layouts: a card grid, a Bootstrap accordion, tabbed panels, and a two-panel scroller. All are built on Bootstrap 5, with no page builder required.


Pull items from Joomla articles (pick them individually, with per-item title / image / description / link overrides) or enter simple manual items in a drag-and-drop items manager.

Choose what each card shows: title, image, description, intro-text length, items per row, and an optional article meta line (date, author, category, hits). JR Prism inherits your active template's colours and fonts automatically.

Built as a maintained, security-reviewed replacement for the abandoned RokSprocket module. GPL-licensed, Joomla 5 & 6 ready, with image lazy-loading and full translatability.

A commercial Pro edition is available separately (not required). It adds four more layouts: carousel, mosaic, zigzag, and the new Strips (a horizontal scrolling row, like RokSprocket Strips). Pro also adds a dynamic category content source, image ratio & fit controls, image hover effects, sort modes, AJAX "load more", and autoplay. See the author site for details.

Key features:

  • 4 showcase layouts: card grid, accordion, tabs, scroller
  • Two content sources: individually selected articles, or manual entries
  • Per-item overrides (title, image, description, link) on article items
  • Drag-and-drop admin items manager with inline editing
  • Per-item display controls: show/hide title, image, description; intro-text limit; items per row
  • Layout-aware settings (only the relevant options show) and a dedicated Items tab
  • Keyboard-accessible layouts with visible focus states
  • Works on right-to-left (RTL) sites
  • Image lazy-loading; Bootstrap 5 markup, no third-party framework dependency
  • Inherits your template's colours and fonts (Bootstrap 5 variables)
  • Fully translatable (en-GB included); GPL-2.0-or-later
  • Optional Pro edition (sold separately): + carousel, mosaic, zigzag & Strips layouts, dynamic category source, image ratio/fit, image hover effects, sort modes, AJAX load-more, autoplay

New in 1.3.0

  • Clear layout names in the Layout picker (Card Grid, Accordion, Tabs, Scroller (list + preview)) instead of file names.
  • Custom titles that your editor saved inside a tag now keep their heading style.
  • English titles and dates keep the correct order on Arabic and other RTL sites.
  • Pro: the new Strips layout.

New in 1.2.0

Article meta line — show the date, author, category and hits under each item's title, in every layout. Off by default; pick the published, created or modified date and its format.

Functionality
Replicates most of the functions that were available in RokSprocket.
Ease of use
I quickly found my way around and had it doing what I needed without reading the documentation. I had to add some css to match the site.
Support
Excellent support. I submitted a request to add additional functionality and Mohamed added the additional feature within a couple of days.
Documentation
The documentation is brief but has everything you need to start from the beginning. I read the documentation after setting it up!!
I used this to: I am updating a J3 site and used it to replace RokSprocket. I wished it was available a few months ago as I have 40 or 50 J 3 sites needing updates. They were all built using Rockettheme templates and many used RokSprocket.
Owner's reply: Hi Trevor,

Thank you for this review, and for the idea that became the Strips layout. Your feedback made JR Prism better for everyone who is moving away from RokSprocket.

You are right that the documentation is short. I will add more examples, for example how to rebuild common RokSprocket setups with JR Prism.

Good luck with your Joomla 3 updates. If you need help with them, I am happy to help.

Regards,
Mohamed
Functionality
The extension works perfectly. I used the Zigzag layout from the Pro version, and it was exactly what I needed to display my items.
Ease of use
Very user-friendly! I easily customized the design with just a little bit of CSS. Highly recommended.
Support
Excellent, very professional and reliable support. The extension is works perfectly, and receives great updates regularly.
Documentation
The documentation is clear, and very easy to follow. It has everything you need to set up the layouts quickly
I used this to: I used this extension on a services website to introduce our main services and features. The zigzag layout was perfect for showing the images and text descriptions side-by-side in a clean and beautiful way.
Owner's reply: Hi Remy,

Thank you for taking the time to write this. It means a lot for a new extension.

I am glad the Zigzag layout worked well for your services page. That is exactly the case I had in mind when I built it, images and text side by side, without a page builder.

Good to hear the documentation was clear too. If anything is ever missing there, please tell me and I will add it.

More layouts are on the way, including a horizontal scrolling one. If you need something specific, you are welcome to ask on the JoomReem support forum any time.

Thanks again,
Mohamed
