| Pro Layout suffix |
Add a suffix to allow multiple overrides of the same layout. Example if using xyz as suffix and you want to override the generic layout, the override needs to be tcp_detail_generic.xyz.php to be selected as output |
| Site mode |
|
| Bootstrap compatibility | If you are using a Bootstrap template, select which version of Bootstrap your template is compatible with. It will ensure the extension outputs the proper classes for the Bootstrap version you are using. The Joomla option loads the Bootstrap version packaged with Joomla (which is the default behavior). All other options WILL NOT load Bootstrap. The extension can function without the Bootstrap framework. Select None |
| Show errors | Will show the errors encountered while creating the module (mostly during thumbnail creation), if any |
| Remove whitespaces | Removes white spaces from the HTML output for faster page loading. Please report any issue |
| Before v4.14 Load icon font |
In rare cases (when no icons are shown), will prevent the loading of the icon font library, reducing page loading times |
| New v4.14 Joomla 4 Load SYWicon font |
If you are showing in-house icons with prefix SYWicon-, loads the specific icon font for proper showing on the public side of the site. If the icon font is already loaded on the public side of the site, this option will be ignored. Set to 'no' will improve page load if no icons are shown |
| New v4.14 Joomla 4 Load Font Awesome |
If you are showing icons with prefix fa- or icon-, loads the icon font packaged with Joomla 4. If the icon font is already loaded on the public side of the site, this option will be ignored. Set to 'no' will improve page load if no icons are shown |
Cache
| Pictures | |
|---|---|
| Reset pictures | whether to re-create the image thumbnails every time the page is loaded or not. 'No' will improve server performance once the module is properly configured and ready for prime time |
| Thumbnails cache path | The path for the thumbnails created (by default, in the media folder under /thumbnails/tc). It is possible to save the files to the temporary folder of the Joomla configuration or the /cache folder (/media/cache under Joomla 4) |
 |
Install and enable the Auto Clear Cached Image system plugin and automatically refresh the image associated with the contact you just saved. No more manual intervention needed, all extension instances are updated at once! |
New v4.8 The extension now supports image versioning.
What does that mean for your site?
Image URLs have an additional suffix, a number that represents the version for the extension, like you can find it for stylesheets and scripts. The version number changes if Joomla is in debug mode or if the extension is on test mode. Once in live (production) mode, the version stops being regenerated.
Why adding a version number to image files?
When the version remains the same, browsers keep the same version of the image in their cache. When the number changes, the image is fetched from the server, therefore replacing the cached image. This ensures visitors of your site see the latest changes made to your images.
| Stylesheets and scripts | |
|---|---|
| Joomla 4 Lazyload stylesheets |
It is possible to lazy load some stylesheets like icon fonts. It is a feature included in Joomla 4 but it must be supported by the site's template on the public side. You can enable lazy loading for all Simplify Your Web extensions at once and even add support for it if the template does not. To do so, you need to enable the feature in the SimplifyYourWeb extensions System plugin |
| Inline scripts | Include scripts directly into the HTML source code, reducing the amount of HTTP requests. The scripts are small enough so that writing them into the source may have a better performance than calling them through files |
| Remote libraries | Whenever possible, load third-party libraries remotely (from a Content Delivery Network) for improved performance |
| Reset headers | Re-creates the cached stylesheets and scripts after style/animation modifications have be made to the module. 'No' will improve server performance once the module is properly configured and ready for prime time |
Stylesheets and scripts are cached in the /cache folder. Deleting the cached files from the administrator console (System -> Clear Cache
) prevents resetting the Reset Headers parameter to 'yes' when changes are made.
However, it is no longer possible to manually remove the files from the console under Joomla 4, as the files are now cached in the /media/cache folder.
Locales
| Sort locale | The locale used to sort the names when using the order by ‘name format’. Allows correct sorting of names with accents |
The PHP Intl
extension is required to sort contacts by 'name format' when there are special characters
Module
| Show on mobile | When a mobile device is detected, show the module or not |
| Show on contact page | Shows the entire module on the contact page. Useful when showing the module on a directory page but hide the module once a contact is selected |
| Pre text | Text or HTML code to display before the module items |
| Post text | Text or HTML code to display after the module items |
| Trigger events | Prepares the content by triggering potential content plugins included in the pre and post text (code included in {...} like the loadmoduleplugin) Warning Do not use when the module is already included into a plugin |
