Slider Plugin
    Decent Plugin, Mediocre Implementation and Awful Support!, May 4, 2008 |

We downloaded and installed this plugin and really liked it.. after further testing we found that it caused errors in IE7 (where the content that would slide down under the title would slide BEHIND the content below it instead of moving it all down.)
We contacted the creator of the plugin, Ian ManLennan, who simply replied and said he didn't know what was wrong, and didn't have IE7 to test the error! After multiple emails asking where we could find a solution - possibly a forum, other users, etc. - Ian basically refused to support this plugin (we have the emails if anyone, including Ian, would like to dispute this).
The bummer is that we really like this module, and can think of many uses for it.. but without the support it deserves, it is just a bunch of useless code.
The Joomla! community is known for developing some of the best feature additions and providing support for those contributions... and this plugin does not mirror, nor live up to, that standard.
I would highly recommend looking for another plugin instead of using this one...
Sorry for the poor review - it is the first we have ever written!! - but this project stands out in a very poor way amongst other contributions from people who will support and respect the joomla community.
