Documentation: Frontend Editor

Documentation for Joomill Frontend Editor, the Joomla extension that shows authors only the fields they need in the article form on the site.

Free Text blocks

PRO Available since version 0.1.1.

A Free Text block shows information to the author inside the form: an instruction, a warning or a sub-heading. It sends nothing with the article.

Add a Free Text block

  1. In Available fields, open Layout elements.
  2. Drag Free Text into a column. You can use it as often as you like.
  3. Click the block and fill in the Text.
  4. Optionally enter a CSS class, for example uk-alert uk-alert-primary in YOOtheme or alert alert-info in Cassiopeia.

Text and translations

  • The text may contain HTML, such as paragraphs, bold text, lists and links.
  • Scripts, styles, embeds and forms are removed.
  • Enter a language key (for example MY_FORM_INSTRUCTION) to show a translated text per site language.

Like a field, a block can be placed at full or half width.
