| 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 | When getting un-expected output results, show error messages to troubleshoot what the issues may be |
| Popup width | The width of the popup or modal window when used for links |
| Popup height | The height of the popup or modal window when used for links |
| Images | |
|---|---|
| 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/trs). It is possible to save the files to the temporary or the /cache folders of the Joomla configuration (/media/cache under Joomla 4) |
| WEBP/AVIF fallback | The image type of the fallback images when using images of WEBP or AVIF type (jpg or png) |
New v2.3 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 |
| CSS overrides | Simple CSS tweaks that can be added and applied to the module. The code is minified automatically to be as small as possible. Styles must be prefixed with #trs_[your module id] in order to affect the module instance only |
| 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 header files | 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 |
Scripts and stylesheets are located in the /cache folder of the Joomla configuration. Deleting the cached files from the administrator console (System -> Clear Cache
) prevents resetting the Reset Header Files 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.
Module
| Show on mobile | Show the module on both desktop and mobile devices, hide from mobile devices or show only on mobile. This feature is server-based, therefore it uses less resources when the page is created (the module exits before any item retrieval), unlike CSS which could be used to hide the module otherwise. Warning There are limitations to this feature: the browser object uses the reported user agent to detect mobile information, which may not be accurate |
| Pre text | Text or html displayed above the items |
| Post text | Text or html displayed below the items |
| Free v1.13 Pro Trigger events |
Prepares the content by triggering potential content plugins included in the pre and post text (code included in {...} like the loadmoduleplugin) |
