Easy-to-Use Article Layout Builder
Coming with the default Joomla content, as you all know, we're not able to adjust the layout of detailed article. However, Astroid 3.1.x might become your savior in designing stunning layout styles for articles thanks to the Article Layout Builder.
No matter whether you are an expert or a novice, you’re easily able to set up an article layout by yourself without coding skills because the article layout builder is super easy to use because of the drag & drop functionality. This brand-new feature gives you the possibility of creating different layouts for detailed articles.
Create different article layouts
Easy to customize a widget in each article
The article layout you have built can be applied to all the articles, but in case you would like to ensure the uniqueness of the content presentation, you are capable of modifying the default data of each widget in each article.
When you build the article layout builder with some widgets, then those widgets will be available in the Widget tab of each article for you to edit again, just in case you wish the widget's data is different from the others.
Customize the widgets' data
Article Layout Assignment
Astroid allows you to set a prebuilt article layout as default, so the default layout will be applied to all the articles. In case you have different article layouts for different niches, you can create categories separately and assign them to article layouts.
