Joomblocks Selected Content Slider Module Module

This new free module from Joomblocks.com gives you the possibility to selected some specific content items / articles. Besides creating a simple list with titles it will also slide-in the intro-text using the nice MooTools slidein effect. In this version 0.9 of the module the max number of content items is limited to 10. We are working on a more flexible solution which will be brought to you in the final 1.0. For now, try and enjoy. See you at JoomBlocks.Com.

I searched around for ages before I found this gem. Its very elegant in it simplicity. It looks great and is an easy way for users to browse your content before delving in.

I had a problem with the download and Robbert was super fast with his help. Superb. Can't recommend it enough.

Had a little problem uploading the file, but with a simple email and 3 min. later, Robert from Joomblocks solved it out. Great support.

After installing, it was very simple to putting it running, and god how beautiful it is!!!

I will put one of these in each article.

Thanks a lot Robert

Had a problem with the initial download. Emailed their support... received feedback in minutes with necessary file while issue is determined.

Next, module didn't appear as I expected. Received immediate feedback with suggestion to avoid the horizontal slide for longer content items... switched to vertical and behavior worked as expected. Duh... my fault.

Slick module. Thanks Robbert!

I have tried many fancy extensions for a simple problem, and none of them worked as simply and perfectly like this. I can only recommend it.

One small upgrade suggestion for the developers: at the moment, you can't put more than one instance of your module into an article. I have modified two lines in the code which makes possible to do this.

In mod_jb_selectedcontentslider.php line 69-70, where you create the id-s of the elements, I have replaced the counter to the id of the article which is unique (unless you want to use the same article more than once)

So instead of

$toggle = $backgroundclass.trim(strval($count));
$togglewords = "$togglewords".trim(strval($count));

you can use

$toggle = $backgroundclass.$article->id;
$togglewords = "togglewords".$article->id;

And then you can have more than one instance within the same "parent" article.

Warm regards,
FM
