Joomla Exposer Extension

Exposer is a Joomla module that displays a selection of Joomla! articles or contacts in a grid overview, list or slideshow. By using the UIkit 3 framework your articles will be presented in a more exciting way than ever before.

The Exposer Mainframe was designed with the best possible individuality in mind. Placeholders for elements are available at several positions within the template and can be selected via the backend. For example, for the meta element you can choose if it should be placed before/after the title or the content.
