RokSlideshow is a mootools powered JavaScript slideshow that allows you to quickly and easily display a selection of images and transition between them. The slideshow itself is very flexible and easily customizable and offers a great alternative to flash-based solutions.
The slideshow comes in 3 formats. A standalone HTML/JavaScript solution for inclusion in any website or page; A Joomla 1.0 module, and a Joomla 1.5 module. We highly recommend using RokSlideshow in Joomla 1.5 for optimal performance and ease of use.

* 30 Customizable Wipe and Push transitions including bounce, linear, exponential, etc.

* Support for Image captions below the slideshow including support for titles and descriptions.

This extension is ok in all web-browser less IE6 (17% of wievers).
It really give a nice effect.
I was using it during one month when I found out that it was creating problem within my site in IE6 .
The left module (mainmenu) was publish after the last word of my article. I am not an expert then I cannot say why? is it related to the template, other extensions or load module position within an articlr? I dont know...
Solution I found: Metamod - module not publish for viewer using IE6
Thanks for the module.

This extension is excellent. I really liked it, it changes the pictures with time and you're in control of the time, you're even in control of the effects shown... I prefer this module over Joomla!'s random images

Nice module, easy to use and well documented. However, would like more features and customization.
It would be really nice if the slideshow had navigation to click from slide to slide. Also customizing the css styles within the js is not the most user friendly since it is all jumbled.

I have to agree wirh other reviewer: it's a great extension, maybe the best no Flash Joomla slideshow out of there.
Anyway Ken Burns animation is VERY resource consumer: have a look at browser CPU usage and you'll understand why avoid it. So in that case a flash based slideshow (like JSN ImageShow) is still the best choise.

Thanks for the good work!

What a great module. I had the Cycle plugin for JQuery installed but this module doens't have the disadvantage of a screen full of images that are being displayed for a fraction of a second. Very easy to install.
Do not use the jquery library with this module, it will not work.

Found this to be one of the smoothest transitioning slideshows so far, even on slower machines, excelent when used with the code change to alow for multiple instances one a single page, apperently that will be added in a later edition. until then Both thumbs up.

I have tried many slideshows and I REALLY like RokSlideshow. It has many configuration parameters which allow you to personalize your slideshow, at the same time is extremely easy to set up and create new galleries. GREAT JOB!
byipokkel on July 7, 2008
I tried most of the slideshows that was j1.5 native compatible and found this one was the easiest to setup and use and most effective at running a slideshow.
Two thumbs up for this module.

The module works great, looks great on my site, and did exactly what I wanted. Having the descriptions in individual files for each image is a bit cumbersome, but I won't need to make changes once it is all set up, so manageable. The details on setting things up is a bit above novice and a bit thin, but the forum covers most everything. I will definitely check into their other modules and see if/where I can use them.
byglorybound on June 26, 2008
I keep getting an overflow error that I narrowed down to this module. I posted 2 posts on the developers web forum and both have gone unanswered. I so much do not like when things are not supported, even if they are free.

This is one STELLAR slideshow module!
Easy to install
Easy to configure
lightweight and reliable - works with any template/menu!
... and one of the best looking fades out there! Most of the other slideshow modules don't really "fade". Instead, they assume you're site has a white background and blow out the previous photo to white, which creates the illustion of 2 photos fading into each other. RokSlideshow actually fades the images together. One gets transparent while the other gets more opaque. It looks gorgeous and opens the possibility for some neat tricks like giving the illusion that only type is changing over a static background.
Excellent work Rocketwerx!
