Showcase your Joomla content. Seven ways. JR Prism turns your articles, categories, or hand-picked items into clean, responsive showcases — card grids, carousels, mosaics, tabs, accordions, scrollers and alternating zigzag rows — all styled by your template, no page builder required. The maintained, security-reviewed replacement for the abandoned RokSprocket. Free Lite edition; Pro $24/yr.
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 1.1.0
Actively maintained — here's what just landed:
- 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.
Seven layouts, one module
Pick a layout per module instance — switch any time, no rebuild.
| Layout | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Card grid | A clean responsive grid of cards; set how many per row. |
| Accordion | Collapsible panels — great for FAQs, features, long lists. |
| Carousel (Pro) | A split-panel showcase slider with autoplay & smooth transitions. |
| Mosaic (Pro) | A CSS-grid gallery with elegant hover overlays. |
| Tabs | Bootstrap-5 tabbed panels for organising content by topic. |
| Scroller | A scrolling headline list with a synced content panel. |
| Zigzag (Pro · New) | Vertically stacked rows with the image on alternating sides — adjustable image width, ratio and mobile order. |
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.
- 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.

FAQ
Does JR Prism work on Joomla 5 and 6?
Yes — both, natively (PHP 8.2+).
Will it match my template?

Is Lite really free?

What do I get with Pro?
The Carousel, Mosaic and new Zigzag 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.
