New! Automatically add a sidebar to the end of all articles by category

Joomla allows publishers to assign modules based on menu items. It’s useful but it does create a real limitation if you only want to display the module on articles in specific categories. iJoomla SideBars has been putting automatic sidebars in specific categories for a while, but a cool new feature now puts sidebars at the end of articles. That’s very useful if you’re using a module like “Related Articles” that comes with core Joomla.

We added this feature after we had a specific need for our new websites. We wanted to have a “related articles” module at the end of all the articles in our “features,” “FAQ” and “videos” categories. We didn’t want to use a module because we would have had to assign it based on menu items and not based on the categories. We also wanted to make sure that the related articles shown were really related, so we used iJoomla SEO to enter the keyword metatags for each.

Now you can add sidebars to the end of articles automatically

The video below explains how we did it. We’re happy with the result.
