ARI Smart Content usage | ARI Soft - Joomla extensions, components, modules, plugins

ARI Smart Content extension can be used in two ways:

In articles
In Module

Using ARI Smart Content in articles

To use the extension in your Joomla! articles and add UI effects to your content you need to place appropriate tags in article. Suppose you want to add table containing data from CSV file from %Joomla_dir%/data/csv/data.csv to the article on you front page. Steps to do this:

Look for appropriate plugin on smart.ari-soft.com. This article will be useful in this case

Each help page contains live example and usage example. Usage example is:

{aricsvtable file="data.csv"}
    {aricsvtablecolumns}
      {aricsvtablecolumn id="ID" alias="ID" width="20%" className="idg"}
      {aricsvtablecolumn id="NAME" alias="UserName" headerClassName="head"}
    {/aricsvtablecolumns}
{/aricsvtable}

Modify the example to work with your file and add it to your Joomla! article text:

{aricsvtable file="data/csv/data.csv"}
    {aricsvtablecolumns}
      {aricsvtablecolumn id="DATE" alias="Date"}
      {aricsvtablecolumn id="NAME" alias="Name"}
    {/aricsvtablecolumns}
{/aricsvtable}

Save the article and verify how it's displayed

Using ARI Smart Content in module

Using ARI Smart Content in modules allows you to place UI effects in module position. Let's assume you need to add module in the right position that will contain some text in accordion. Steps:

Look for accordion plugin example. It's here

Modify usage example for your needs:

{arijaccordion animated="bounceslide"}
  {arijaccordionitem title="Hello"}
     Hello all
  {/arijaccordionitem}
  {arijaccordionitem title="ARI Soft"}
     Powered with ARI Smart Content plugin
  {/arijaccordionitem}
{/arijaccordion}

Go to Module Manager -> ARI Smart Content module in your Joomla! administration
Type plugin text into Content textarea
Set module position as you need. Make sure module is enabled. Save module
Done!
