Module: advanced

Moved to styling tab
CSS tweaks		 CSS properties to add to the module to tweak the output

Example #weblinklogo_108 ul { color: white; } where 108 is the module id
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
Show errors Will show the errors encountered while creating the module (mostly during thumbnail creation), if any. It can help determine why some logo won’t show, for instance
Remove whitespaces Removes white spaces from the HTML output for faster page loading. Please report any issue

Pictures

Re-create 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
Auto Clear Cached Image Install and enable the Auto Clear Cached Image system plugin and automatically refresh the image associated with the weblink you just saved. No more manual intervention needed, all extension instances are updated at once!
Unique files Creates image file names that are unique to the module instance. To share images across module instances, set to 'no'
Thumbnails cache path The path for the thumbnails created (by default, in the media folder under /thumbnails/wl).
It is possible to save the files to the temporary folder of the Joomla configuration or the /cache folder
  • Thumbnails are created only once by default. Set re-create pictures to 'yes' to trigger their re-creation at every site access. Leaving the option to 'yes' is useful during the site creation phase. Set to 'No' when going public.
  • When thumbnails are deleted manually or by emptying the tmp folder, they are re-created automatically.
  • Using the images folder as thumbnail folder has advantages: easy access to manual deletion (by-passing the 'Re-create pictures' parameter set to 'No', which can make the process faster when many instances of the module exist), no file permission restrictions.
  • Weblink external images need the allow_url_fopen PHP setting to be enabled to be transformed into thumbnails.

Header files

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
Reset headers Triggers the re-creation of the stylesheet and the script files at every page access.
'No' will improve server performance once the module is properly configured and ready for prime time.
Stylesheets and scripts are cached in the /cache folder. Deleting the cached files from the administrator console (System -> Clear Cache) prevents resetting the Reset Headers parameter to 'yes' when changes are made

Script files are ONLY created when an animation is setup

Module

Pre text Text or html displayed above the items
Post text Text or html displayed below the items
Trigger events Prepares the content by triggering potential content plugins included in the pre and post text (code included in {...} like the loadmodule plugin)
