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.

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

Perfect. Uploaded, installed, and works great. Documentation is solid.
Thank you for this module!
Thank you for this module!
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!

Extremely useful module that makes viewing and displaying content lot more easier and fun. Worked for me in the following browsers with no issue (including IE6). A wonderful, easy to use module.
Firefox 3
Safari 4
IE7

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
