seamless....but, December 9, 2007 |
It's a seamless install, and works amazingly well...
If your looking for advertisers interested in this feature however, you'll find
1). very few advertising networks support ad sizes remotely similar
2). the ones that do offer rectangular ads frown on any modifications to their ads. I had to remove ads I'd placed from Doubleclick and Valueclick due to TOS violations..
I'll end up using it for internal site promotions and contests and such...In that regard it's quite useful

    It's a good start but....., August 9, 2006 |
Running two Joomla sites with the current release version of Joomla. Both sites have multiple Sections each with multiple content cagegories. When using a comma delineated list of sections and categories, the scroller seems to get STUCK on 1 section, and one category within that section no matter what I do. Perhaps I misunderstand the statement "a user specified number of content items published in one or many sections/categories" however, the module isnt even picking up the first section. In my module I had sections seperated by commas 4,12,5,10,6,7,8 , and categories 13,29,26,14,15,16,17 and "Number of Items to scroll through" set to 1. The way I read the description, I had understood that it'd walk through each section and category, pull the latest item, display, fade, go to the next one. the sections and categories do relate 1:1, even if the numbering seems odd. (i.e. category 13 is in section 4, so on and so forth).
No matter what I do however it only displays section 8, category 17 content. if I remove section 8 and category 17 from the ends of their respective lists, section 7 category 16 content displays, and no other content items from any of the other sections or categories appears. The more I pair down the list, the same thing occurs with the module only seeming to be aware of the sections and categories at the end of a comma seperated list.
It also seems to automatically pull the OLDEST item rather than the newest from a category, as the first item to scroll. I think most people would want to see the reverse behavior, or at least see an option to choose.
An excellent first outing though. I'll still find use for this module, even of the above concerns arent addressed.
