• selected Categories;
• selected Tags;
• Tag Matching mode;

ES Content Display integrates with the Joomla Update System and the ExtensionSpot protected download service.

What the Download Key does

The Download Key identifies an eligible ExtensionSpot purchase when Joomla requests a protected update package.

The installed extension itself continues working if the update/support entitlement expires. Expiration affects access to protected updates/support, not the already-installed module functionality.

Add the Download Key in Joomla

After installing ES Content Display:

1. Open System → Update Sites.
2. Find the ExtensionSpot Updates entry associated with ES Content Display.
3. Enter your ExtensionSpot Download Key in the Download Key field provided by Joomla.
4. Save the Update Site.
5. Check Joomla extension updates again.

Advanced → Style Preset

Available presets:

Default / Template-friendly

Neutral baseline with restrained borders and spacing.

Soft Surface

Adds subtle surfaces, rounder corners and a light shadow.

Minimal Separators
