Instructions

With this extension, it is possible for the visitor of your page, implemented with Ascoos Cms, while reading an article, to be shown reading suggestions of a series of previous articles.

This is achieved via a pop-up box at the edge of the screen and can be customized according to the page owner's preferences.

For example, articles can be displayed based on the article type, such as article, tutorial, news, etc.

The view can also be easily configured as all Ascoos Cms Blocks can extend themes.
