KillerT provides a flexible way to style up your article titles and footers. In short terms you can define positions in your article headers and footers and then embed in these positions various elements.

Predefined Positions:

+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 
+---+---+---+
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
+---+---+---+
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
+---+---+---+
      .
      .
      .

Available Elements:

Article’s title, author, category, section, creation date, modification date, hits, access level, social bookmarking "addthis" button and also, a page navigation bar linking to the next and previous articles in the current category. [More options will be provided in future versions]

As it stands, the available tags are:

  • title
  • author
  • cdate
  • mdate
  • category
  • section
  • hits
  • access
  • addthis
  • navcat

Example Title Definition:

[1]<h1>title</h1>[/1][3]navcat[/3]
[4]"Category:" category[/4][6]cdate[/6]
[9]"Author:" author "Hits:" hits[/9]

As you see from the example you can use the form [n]tag[/n] to declare in which position you want a tag to appear. You can also insert any text in quotes or even html tags.

The tags 'addthis' and 'navcat' appear only in article view. The latter displays a navigation bar similar to the pagenavigation plugin. You have the option to use either text or images for the 'prev' and 'next' links.

Under the path 'joomla-dir/plugins/content/killert' you will find the default.css that you can alter to suit your needs and the images for the navigation bar. The default css will give you something like:

The plugin does not conflict with your current article settings meaning it inserts elements after the already defined title of your template.

Have fun!
