Custom Fields

Displaying Custom Fields

Use Display Custom Fields on Card Content to show selected Joomla custom fields on article cards. Enter field IDs, names, or titles separated by commas.

Example: audience, level, location

Filtering by Custom Fields

Configure up to two Frontend Custom Field Filters on the Filters tab. Each supports Auto, Text, or Dropdown input depending on the filter type setting.

Card Images from a Custom Field

If images are stored in a media or URL custom field (for example a template Featured Image field), set Image Source to Custom field only or Custom field, then intro/full, and enter the field ID, name, or title in Image Custom Field.

Field Matching

• Field ID is the most precise option.
• Field name is useful for portable configuration between sites.
• Field title works when editors recognize the label more easily than the field name.

Recommended Use Cases

• Audience or user type
• Difficulty level
• Location or region
• Department or product type
• Resource format or any structured article metadata
• Template Featured Image stored as a custom field
