JR Prism - Joomla Content Showcase Module

Turn articles, categories or hand-picked items into a stunning showcase — 8 layouts, styled by your template. The modern RokSprocket replacement.

Why JR Prism

RokSprocket powered thousands of Joomla sites — and it's been abandoned, unmaintained, and a security liability for years. JR Prism is the modern answer: a single lightweight module that does the one job most sites actually need — showing off your content beautifully — built fresh for Joomla 5 & 6 on Bootstrap 5, security-reviewed, and actively maintained.

No bloated page builder. No template lock-in. Just your content, in the layout you want.

New in 1.3

Actively maintained. Here is what just landed:

• Strips layout (Pro): a horizontal row of items that visitors scroll sideways, with the text over the image or as a caption below it, arrows, an always-visible scrollbar and optional autoplay. Set the frame width per module.
• Friendly layout names: the Layout picker now shows Card Grid, Carousel, Scroller (list + preview) and Strips (horizontal row) instead of file names.
• Fixes: custom titles keep their heading style, English titles and dates keep their order on Arabic (RTL) sites, layouts without "load more" always show all items, and Scroller "load more" works with manual items.

Also recent (1.2.0 and 1.1.0):

• Article meta line — show the date, author, category and hits under each item's title, in every layout. Off by default; pick the published, created or modified date and its format.
• Zigzag layout (Pro) — vertically stacked rows with the image on alternating sides; an editorial story flow.
• Image ratio & fit (Pro) — force images to 16:9, 4:3 or 1:1 with cover or contain, for even rows across layouts.
• Image hover effects (Pro) — zoom, lift or overlay-fade; motion respects each visitor's reduce-motion setting.
• Cleaner, layout-aware settings — the config now shows only the options relevant to your layout, with content in a dedicated Items tab.
• Accessibility — keyboard-navigable layouts with visible focus states.

Eight layouts, one module

Pick a layout per module instance — switch any time, no rebuild.

Pull content from anywhere

• Articles — pick individual articles, and override any item's title, image, description or link.
• Categories (Pro) — pull a whole category dynamically, with ordering and a count limit; new articles appear automatically.
• Manual items — build a custom list by hand in the drag-and-drop items manager, with inline editing.

Built right

• Styled by your template — JR Prism inherits your site's colours and fonts out of the box (Bootstrap 5 variables). No clashing brand colours, no CSS wrestling.
• Fully responsive — every layout adapts cleanly from desktop to phone.
• Fast — images lazy-load; markup is lean.
• Drag-and-drop ordering — reorder items by dragging, with inline edit.
• Sort & control (Pro) — sort by date, title, hits or random; show/hide titles, images, descriptions; set items-per-row; AJAX "load more"; carousel autoplay and animation.
• Consistent images (Pro) — force any layout's images to a fixed ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1) with cover or contain.
• Image hover effects (Pro) — add a zoom, lift or overlay-fade on hover; respects reduce-motion preferences.
• Cleaner settings — layout-aware options that hide what doesn't apply, plus a dedicated Items tab.
• Article meta — show the date, author, category and hits on each item; off by default and styled by your template.
• Accessible — keyboard-navigable with visible focus states.
• Security-reviewed — input filtering and a session-scoped admin token, not a permanent credential.
• Translatable — all strings are language files; UTF-8, no hard-coded text.

JR Prism Pro Demo

Santorini, Greece

Whitewashed villages tumble down volcanic cliffs to the bluest water in the Aegean — and the sunset over Oia is unforgettable.

Kyoto, Japan

Ancient temples, vermillion torii gates and quiet bamboo groves — Japan's cultural heart, beautiful in every season.

Banff, Canada

Glacier-fed turquoise lakes mirror the Canadian Rockies. Moraine Lake at dawn is worth the early start.

Marrakech, Morocco

Lose yourself in the souks, then find calm in a tiled riad courtyard — a feast for every sense.

Bali, Indonesia

Emerald rice terraces, clifftop temples and surf at sunset. The island of the gods lives up to its name.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Pastel towns cling to the cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Drive the coast road for views that don't quit.

Cappadocia, Turkey

Hundreds of hot-air balloons drift over surreal rock spires at sunrise — one of travel's great spectacles.

Iceland

Thundering waterfalls, black-sand beaches and the Northern Lights overhead. Raw nature on a grand scale.

Switching from RokSprocket?

JR Prism covers the layouts most RokSprocket sites used, on a modern, maintained and secure base for Joomla 5 and 6. RokSprocket only runs on Joomla 3, so you rebuild your showcases after the upgrade. The RokSprocket to JR Prism migration guide maps every RokSprocket layout to JR Prism, step by step.

FAQ

Does JR Prism work on Joomla 5 and 6?
Yes — both, natively (PHP 8.2+).

Will it match my template?
Yes. Colours and fonts inherit from your active template via Bootstrap 5 variables; override a single CSS variable if you want to fine-tune.

Is Lite really free?
Yes — JR Prism Lite is free and GPL-licensed on the Joomla Extensions Directory, with no time limit and no feature nag.

What do I get with Pro?
The Carousel, Mosaic, Zigzag and new Strips layouts, the dynamic Category source, image ratio & fit controls, image hover effects (zoom/lift/overlay-fade), sort modes, AJAX load-more, carousel autoplay/animation, and priority support with one year of updates.

How do Pro updates work?
Enter your Download ID once under System → Update → Update Sites and Joomla handles updates automatically through our secure update server.

Is it secure?
Yes — JR Prism was security-reviewed: inputs are filtered, and admin actions use a session-scoped token rather than a permanent credential.
