Content Templater, from Regularlabs.com, is a wonderful Joomla extension that can save you time and effort adding similar content to your website. Instead of repeating the same 3, 4 or 10 steps required in setting up pages to be consistently formatted in categories, blogs, or even any of the articles in which you incorporate custom fields, you can start out with (or assign afterward) templates to your content.
Join us for this Collab as we share some of the different ways we use Regular Labs Content Templater, with some guru level examples from the kind of Regular Labs, Peter van Westen himself.
