This is the Joomla Component for the BMLT.

License:

This code is completely open and free. You may access it by visiting the BMLT Project Site. It should never be sold.

Version:

1.5.5

INSTALLATION

The BMLT Joomla! plugin comes as three components: 2 plugins and a component.

As of version 1.2.17, they are all installed and uninstalled by a single file. Simply install the "bmlt.zip" file. In order to uninstall, uninstall the component only. It will take care of the plugins.

One plugin is a system plugin, and is required for all installs. BMLT won't work unless you install it and activate it.

The other plugin is optional. It is an inline content plugin that allows you to insert an HTML comment (<!--BMLT-->) or a shortcode ([[BMLT]]) into the text of an article, and a BMLT search will appear there, in the same manner as the WordPress plugin.

The component is required. It contains the administrative interface, as well as some important files that are necessary for the inline content plugin to work.

USAGE

The component is fairly straightforward. You simply specify "option=com_bmlt" in your URI, and a page opens up that is nothing but a full BMLT implementation.

The inline plugin is a bit more involved, but gives you tremendous flexibility. In order to use it, you use the HTML view of an article to enter the following HTML text:

<!--BMLT-->

or

[[BMLT]]

This will integrate the BMLT directly into your page. You will probably need to play with the CSS in order to make it work properly in your page (See the commented-out section in the component's style.cpp file).
