Create your own template

You can also modify the way your Mighty Resouces item is displayed by creating your own template which will be used to render the Mighty Resouces item.
Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the Mighty Resouces plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update AcyMailing.

Create a file in the folder media / com_acymailing / plugins (if the folder does not exists, please create it first).
The name of the file should be mightyresouces.php
If this file is available on your server, AcyMailing will use it and won't use the default one.

On this file you can access the element $article (which is the article object loaded from the content table) and the element $tag (which contains the information of the current tag used in your Newsletter)
