Works, sometimes. Right now it is only working on the homepage. There is one post on their forum http://www.templateplazza.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,6/catid,19/func,view/id,20086/limit,6/limitstart,0/ which says to uninstall sh404SEF (not an option for most websites)! Documentation is poor (video is for Joomla 1.0.x), expect a lot of trial and error.
Works perfectly for me, be it on IE7 or FF3...Excellent implementation...

One wish for a future release: how about cycling thru all ads in a given location? Say you have 5 ads and a 4 secs timer, hhmm? (-:

Thanks a lot for this!

Great idea however as soon as I enabled the module it brought my site down with numerous errors. I tried rearranging all the backend settings to try to get something working but sadly it did not work.

Perhaps it is because of the templates I am using (YooTheme & RocketTheme)?

I just can't stop playing with it! Every time I go to my site I just have to peel it. It works great on my newspaper website because when you peel it back you see our print newspaper promoting subscriptions.

Worked perfectly! I've noticed some people complaining about image size but this is easily overcome. Yes the image canvas has to be 500px by 500px, but the image itself can be much smaller. I started with a canvas of 500 by 500 and added a smaller image to the top right corner of the canvas and it works perfectly with Page Peel Banner.

No complaints here, this is a great module and really jazz's up a site.

I use this Page Peel Banner at and am preparing the stand-alone version for some of my non-Joomla sites.

Works GREAT in all current (non-beta) browsers except FF3 under Ubunto Linux Gnome where the page peel doen't roll up properly. So 2% of my visitors didn't see the proper effect. Yes you are restricted to square images, but that's PERFECT for me.

Looks great but how about building it so you can use standard size ads rather than being forced to use only the 500 pixel squared ones you have to make yourself. Maybe some 300x250 or 336x280 rectangle sizes. Even if you have to push them up in the corner and set a background color to match I'm sure it would look fine. Just my opinion... Sean

This component quickly adds some very impressive "eye candy" to your Joomla site. The price is right (free) and the implementation is very straight-forward. Documentation is almost nonexistent, but truly is not needed. "Peeled" images must conform exactly to the specification - 500 X 500 JPEG at 72 DPI, no exceptions.

I love this component and I salute the developers! Highly recommended. It is so impressive that you'll be tempted to use it everywhere, which might be a bit of overkill, so be careful!

I've using this module & it's working verry well...You just have to change your swf file to jpg.

It works on Firefox. You can't see it maybe because AdBlockPlus (or something similar) block the banner.

I have realy bad problem with this mod. I have downloaded latest Opera, IE8 and Mozilla and just on the IE I have a problem with autoopen, and whats worst it doesnt want to close. I have to move with mouse over banner to make it close. Forgot to say that I had IE7 and there was the same problem. Have tryed to fix that with new version IE8 but without luck. Very nice thing, but it's sad that have compatibility issues.

I've seen it on some site, I love to have it too! However, it won't show up on my site with Firefox. I've read more complaints about this. If you say it works, better check in Firefox too, or else you might be missing out around 20% of your website visitors.
Very good module. Can look professional, but quality is limited by the quality of graphic you produce. You may find it takes a few iterations to get the graphics lined up perfectly. Also be sure to check your work in all major browsers. I noted that appearance differs in FF and IE.
Worked great out of the box with my site, using J 1.0.15 and the JA Purity template.

As for changing the 'Open Ads', that is quite simple: create a new SWF file and rename the extension to JPG, as explained in the module's Edit area. Or you can rework the existing one, 'clickhere.jpg'...just remember this is actually an SWF file, so you have to rename it 'clickhere.swf' to open in Flash.
I has installed o my website and it looks great. On a JP Epic Pro template it does not 'fold' the 'user' and 'inset' modules when you use Firefox. Nevertheless it is an absolute beauty.
It works well but..

First documentation is hard to find. What I found is posted here:
http://www.templateplazza.com/images/videos/PagePeelTutorial.swf

It does take some work to figure out but once this is done, it is pretty neat.

Access to their forum is "view only" unless you join their template club and pay for it. So this limits support somewhat.

It works for me in IE7 and Safari browsers. However in Firefox the page peeler opens behind the right module. I hope I can find a fix for this. Is anyone familar with this Firefox issue?

Very Simnple, easy to install and nice effect.

It seems like a great idea, but it just won't work for my site. I've looked everywhere to see if it has something to do with the fact that I'm using Joomla 1.0.12, but I haven't found a note on its compatibility with that version of Joomla.

Besides that, I do as the vids and forums tell me, but I get nothing. The only thing I'm able to get it to do is to show the 500x500 image, but that comes up in the module position for the regular "banner" position. It doesn't show as a flash animation in the upper corner, as it should.

It also seems to completely negate any other banners I use for the "banner" position.
I tested it and the other similar J!1.5 native module (JPagePeel for Joomla! 1.5.x - NATIVE). It's my favourite because:
- it doesn't alert popup blocker (JPagePeel does);
- Auto Open feature works (JPagePeel one doesn't).

But there are compatibility issues: as reported in their forum from some users it doesn't show on top on some templates. I get that on Aurora and Ambient (both very famous) and support (fastly) replied they can't help and don't want test (!) so I fear they will not fix that bug in future. Such a shame.
I was happy to see this module migrated over to work with native J1.5.x; however, I was not happy to see 137 WC3 validation errors produced for the page on which the page peel was placed. I realize that there are some errors that are hard to deal with using all the JS, but I've seen entire CMS using a *brazillion* more js and code validate better than this beast.

The novelty wore off, so I think I'll unpublish it for now...nice eye candy until you get an eye full of validation errors.

It has, however, come a long way in J1.5 and was a breeze to setup and configure...works "out-of-the-box," so that is probably most important to some.
