I can't speak well enough about this component. It's been a huge time saver for me. Perhaps what I like best is how professional the developer has been in the design of the interface, functionality and documentation. It's components like this that lead to me use Joomla. A Big Thank You to Sean White.

Works great. At first I had an issue and after emailing the developer I got a fix in 1 hour 10 minutes!! (as of 9/22/2007 download the bata2 version) Thanks, Ian!

Only thing is I kind of had to dig for the instructions which I found in the README.php file, so I'll post them here:

The elements can be styled using CSS. There are three CSS classes: slideTitleLink, slideTitle and slideBox.

INSTALLATION:
1. Download the archive.
2. Install using the Joomla! Extension Installer
3. Publish the plugin

USE:
In your article, add the following around the text that you want to hide:
{beginslide id="..." title="..."}
...
{endslide}

The id can be any sequence of letters or numbers (but no spaces), and the title can be any valid XHTML string.

You can load an external stylesheet by specifying it in the plugin parameters. You must upload the stylesheet to
your Joomla! server and then specify the path based on the main Joomla! directory (i.e. media/sliders.css).
