Latest Extensions

Find extensions for your Joomla site in the Joomla Extensions Directory, the official directory for Joomla components, modules and plugins.
  1. A block editor for Joomla that replaces TinyMCE and writes clean, semantic HTML. Write block by block, type Markdown as you go, and switch back to TinyMCE at any time without losing anything.

    Markus Editor turns the article into blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists, quotes, callouts, code, images, buttons, tables, Bootstrap columns, separator, Read more, modules and free HTML. Add one with "/" or "+", move it by dragging it or with Alt+Shift+arrows.

    Markdown when you want it: "##" and a space give a heading, pasted Markdown becomes blocks, and the whole article can be shown, opened and saved as a .md file.

    Clean paste from Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice.

    What it saves is plain semantic HTML. TinyMCE reads it as is, and whatever Markus cannot edit is kept untouched: nothing is lost.

    Accessibility is checked while you write: images without text, heading levels, vague links, contrast, tables. Alerts inform, they never block saving.

    Spelling and grammar with LanguageTool (the public service or your own server), footnotes, article outline, reading time, full screen, undo and redo.

    The editor buttons of Joomla and of other extensions (Article, Image, Menu, and Opus, Iris and Formulus from Joomanji) work as they do with TinyMCE.

    Interface in English, French, German and Spanish. Works with any Bootstrap template. Joomla 6.2 and PHP 8.3 minimum. Free.

    Markus Editor was built by a human and an AI.

  2. DLS Gallery Lite manages photo albums directly in Joomla. Upload images in the back end (large files in chunks) or import them from the images/ folder, then set title, alt text, caption and order for every image. Albums appear on the website through a module, a content tag or a menu item.

    Lite shows a responsive grid with adjustable columns, gap, corner radius and aspect ratio, captions below the images, page navigation and a lightbox with fade transition, keyboard and swipe support. No CDN, no tracking, no licence server. Updates arrive through the Joomla updater without a download key.

    Masonry and justified layouts, videos with poster images, further navigation types (more button, infinite scrolling, lightbox only) and lightbox and caption design options belong to the separate Pro edition. Installing Pro over Lite keeps all albums, images and settings.

  3. DLS Reviews Lite displays manually entered testimonials and star ratings. Choose a highlight or grid layout, set review ordering, minimum stars and the displayed count, and adjust the main colours. The free edition makes no Google API requests and requires no external account. Includes native Joomla updates without a download key.

  4. DLS Showcase Lite displays a heading, introduction, optional metric and two buttons alongside up to three image cards in a fan layout. Pointer movement can be enabled or disabled. Includes responsive presentation and native Joomla updates without a download key. Videos and additional card layouts belong to the separate Pro edition.

  5. Beautiful articles without touching code
    Most Joomla sites end up with articles that are walls of text, because building proper layouts in an editor takes time and HTML skills. SE AI Article Designer changes that. Paste in your notes, a draft or an email, add a line about what you want ("a landing page for our spring offer, friendly tone"), and the AI lays it out as a finished article: hero section, lead paragraph, cards, call-outs, steps, statistics, FAQs, quotes, galleries and more.

    It keeps your wording. The designer lays out what you wrote, word for word, and never rewrites it unless you ask. Every sentence is checked against your original: if anything was changed, dropped or added, the preview shows you exactly what before you apply it, and one click puts your words back. Tick "fix spelling and punctuation only" when you want typos corrected, or ask in the chat when you do want something rewritten.
    Works where you already work

    There is no pop-up and no separate screen. The designer is a panel directly under the article editor, with tabs for Create, Edit text, SEO and History. It works with TinyMCE, the JCE Editor, CodeMirror and the plain-text editor, follows Joomla's light and dark admin themes, and can also be switched on for modules and category descriptions. In TinyMCE and JCE, your house style shows right inside the editing window, so what you edit looks like the finished page, and Ctrl+Z undoes any change the designer makes.
    Preview first, then refine in conversation

    Every layout appears in a live preview before anything changes in your article. Not quite right? Just say so: "make the opening bigger", "put the photo on the right", "turn the prices into a table". Each tweak updates the preview, and you can undo the last tweak or start over at any time. Your conversation is saved, so you can pick up where you left off after a reload.
    When you are happy, replace the whole article, add the layout to the end, or insert it at the cursor.

    Your house style, every time
    Set your brand colours, fonts and corner style once, and choose which layout patterns the AI may use. Fonts default to your site template's own, so articles match the rest of your site. The output uses clean, class-based HTML with a single shared stylesheet, so a later change to your house style updates every designed article at once. Colour contrast is checked for readability, and you can still ask the AI for one-off restyling ("make this button green") whenever you need it.

    Edit existing articles safely
    Need to update a price, rewrite a paragraph or add an FAQ to a long article? Describe the change, choose which parts the AI may touch, and review every proposed edit in a clear word-level diff before accepting it. Nothing outside your chosen parts can change, and everything else stays exactly as it was.

    Images handled for you
    Drag in photos or pick them from the Joomla Media Manager. The AI sees each image, places it where it fits, writes useful alt text and adds a caption when it helps. Images are resized and saved in several sizes, so visitors on phones download small files and desktop visitors get sharp ones.

    Every change is reversible
    Each AI change is saved as a version. Restore any earlier version, or undo just one change while keeping everything you did since. Ctrl+Z works too. Images and history follow a new article from the moment you start, even before its first save.

    Templates for layouts you love
    Save a finished article as a template, then reuse that exact layout with new content: weekly newsletters, match reports, product pages, event listings. Templates keep a short version history of their own, so updating one is never risky.
    SEO in one click

    The SEO tab suggests a meta description, keywords and page title based on the article, optionally aimed at a focus phrase. Review the suggestions, edit them if you like, and apply them to the article's fields with one click.

    Your AI, your key, your costs
    Use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including self-hosted models. You pay your provider directly at their rates. Usage is logged per request so you can see exactly what is being used, and you can set a daily request limit.

    Safe by design
    AI output is cleaned against a strict allowlist, so scripts and unsafe markup never reach your site.
    Joomla shortcodes such as {loadmodule} are protected and come back exactly as written.
    Uploaded images are checked and re-saved, and unsafe files are refused.
    Joomla permissions control who can use the designer, add images, restore history and save templates.
    The panel warns you if your user group's text filter would strip the layout when you save.
