Complete Guide to Auto-Insert Locations
Auto-insert locations determine where Tassos Code Snippets injects your code into the page without any shortcodes or manual placement. Choosing the right location ensures your code loads at the correct point in the page and reaches the right audience.
Available Locations
Site
Site locations inject into the frontend of your Joomla site. They are available for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and External File snippets.
- Header: Inserts code inside the
<head>section. Use for CSS, meta tags, structured data, and any resource that must load before page content renders. - Body: Inserts code immediately after the opening
<body>tag. Use for analytics tracking codes and tag manager fallbacks that tools require to fire as early as possible. - Footer: Inserts code just before the closing
</body>tag. Use for non-critical JavaScript, chat widgets, and third-party scripts that should not block page rendering.
Admin
Admin locations inject into the Joomla backend (/administrator) and have no effect on the frontend. They follow the same Header, Body, Footer structure as Site locations.
- Admin Header: Inserts code inside the
<head>of every backend page. Use for custom CSS that restylings or hides administrator UI elements. - Admin Footer: Inserts code just before the closing
</body>tag on every backend page. Use for non-critical backend JavaScript and DOM manipulation scripts targeting the admin interface.
Article
Article locations inject content at specific positions within a Joomla article. They only fire in the single article view, not on blog layouts, category lists, or featured article pages.
- After Article Title: Inserts content directly below the article title. Use for author info, publication date, article summaries, or a table of contents.
- Before Article Content: Inserts content at the very start of the article body. Use for call-to-action boxes, newsletter sign-ups, or important notices.
- After Article Content: Inserts content at the end of the article body. Use for related articles, author bios, comments prompts, or closing advertisements.
- Before Article Paragraph: Inserts content before a specific paragraph (set by Paragraph Number). Use for mid-article callouts, ad slots, or contextual notices.
- After Article Paragraph: Inserts content after a specific paragraph (set by Paragraph Number). Use for in-content ads, content upgrades, or social sharing prompts.
