Joomla WT Quick Links Extension

The module allows you to quickly create sets of repeatable elements: title + text, responsive photos and/or responsive videos. And also make these elements links to Joomla components - articles categories, Virtuemart, JoomShopping, Phoca Cart, a menu item or a custom link. By creating your own display layouts for this module, you can make a slide show, an image gallery, assemble the main page of the site as in the constructor, create a set of link tags for the desired sections of the site, a list of FAQ and so on.

Module versions before 2.0.0 works both on Joomla 3 and Joomla 4.
Since v.2.0.0 WT Quick links support only Joomla 4.2+

New in v.1.4.4

#New parameter "Use link"

A new parameter has been added for elements - "Use link". It allows you to enable or disable link settings for an element. This flag can be used in your layouts, creating lists of entities where clickable and non-clickable elements alternate in one list. For example, the output of a simple list, where part of the elements is plain text, and part is a link.

New in v.1.4.3

F.A.Q. list module layout added. Bootstrap 4 / Bootstrap 5 support. Schema.org F.A.Q. microdata support.

New in v.1.4.0

Video
Added the ability to select the type of media content - image or video.
New module layout output
Added a bg-video layout (bootstrap), in which the "wall" of the video is displayed in the full width of the container.
Responsive videos
Added the ability to specify responsive videos. For each range of screen resolutions (specified using CSS media queries), you can specify a separate video file and a poster for it. Javascript implements device screen sizing and then lazy loading of a video file. For mobile devices, the recommended video file size is no more than 1.5-2 MB. For desktop devices - no more than 10MB.

You can take the bg-video layout in the module folder as a basis and create your own. In this case, the container common to all videos should have the data-wt-quick-links-responsive-videos attribute with the module id, and each video has an id attribute of the form id="wt-quick-links-responsive-videos-[module id]-[video number]". For more information, see the bg-video layout. Core must also be connected.Joomla js file (it is connected by default).

The "Link text" field
Now you can use HTML tags from the Joomla whitelist in this field. For example, this may be convenient if you need to transfer a long phrase using br HTML tag

Conditions for excluding the display of elements

Added conditions for excluding the display of individual list items. For example, you have a list of some JoomShopping categories in your module. The module is published on all product catalog pages, but it would be strange to see a link to the "Cups" category while inside the "cups" category. Using the module settings, you can hide certain items from the list on the desired pages.
Items can be hidden for certain menu items, JoomShopping categories, Joomla content categories, and materials in these categories.
