*** NOW updated to version 2.3 (see changelog below) *** The "AJAX Header Rotator" module offers a smart and eye-candy image rotating mechanism (or slideshow in plain English) for the masses! It is an alternative to Flash image rotation scripts, which are sometimes difficult to implement. The module borrows the nice effects from such scripts, but uses javascript (the JQuery library in particular) to auto-"magically" rotate images from any given folder! It's actually a simple to use module, which adds to the overall look of your Joomla! website. Check out a demo at http://demo.joomlaworks.gr or at http://www.clipart.gr for a real world example! If you want to show your support please rate and comment on the Module, here, in the Joomla! Extensions website. The "AJAX Header Rotator" Module for Joomla 1.0.x is released under the GNU/GPL license. Have fun! BRAND NEW FORUM SITE OPEN for support to all JoomlaWorks extensions!

Enjoy! *************************************************** *** Version 2.2 Changelog (December 15th, 2006) *** *************************************************** - Minor bug fixes. - Now the AJAX Header Rotator can display without conflicting with other javascript libraries, like Mootools, Moo.fx, Prototype etc. The only thing you need to do is move the script call to jquery.js in your template. - You can now choose to enable/disable the "master" link of the rotating images. - If you enable the "master link", you can now choose if it will open in a new or the same page. - The "cannot redeclare..." error appearing in some server setups is fixed. ************************************************** *** Version 2.0 Changelog (December 4th, 2006) *** ************************************************** - Added the ability to have multiple instances of the "AJAX Header Rotator" module in the same page. That means you can rotate images in different module positions, on the same page, something that was not possible with the previous version of the module! You obviously need to insert different IDs for each module instance! - Added a "master" link to the rotating images (per rotator instance, of course). Useful when you want the user to click on the rotator and get redirected to e.g. the "products" page. - Added width and height definitions for images being rotated. - Added the ability for the user to select the display order of the images being rotated (in sequence or randomly). - Now using JQuery. - Updated documentation to reflect new changes and additional credits/copyrights. **************************************************** *** Version 1.1 Changelog (September 23rd, 2006) *** **************************************************** Today we are releasing version 1.1 of the "AJAX Header Rotator" Module. This new version fixes some styling options and also we have corrected the issue of empty "slides", caused when other non image files exist in the same directory where the images (for rotation) are stored. Such files could be thumbs.db (generated on windows machines) or just the index.html file generated from Joomla's Media Manager.
