# Configuration

Article Form Builder has one screen with options. The plugins have no settings of their own.

## Open the options

Go to **Components \> Article Form Builder** and click **Options** in the toolbar.

## Site: CSS Framework

Sets the classes of the buttons, tabs and input fields of the edit form on the site.

- **Automatic** (default): UIkit with YOOtheme Pro and its child templates, Bootstrap with every other template.
- **Bootstrap (Cassiopeia)**
- **UIkit (YOOtheme)**

With UIkit, the tabs, buttons, icons and input groups of core and JCE fields are styled for YOOtheme.

## Permissions

The **Permissions** tab sets who may create, edit and delete profiles. Who may edit which articles is still decided by the Joomla permissions of your articles and categories.

## Override the edit layout

The form uses its own grid, so it works in Cassiopeia, YOOtheme and templates without a grid. To change the markup, copy

`plugins/system/articleformbuilder/tmpl/articleformbuilder.php`

to

`templates/[your template]/html/plg_system_articleformbuilder/articleformbuilder.php`

and edit the copy. Check your override after each update.
