AJAX Scroller is a Web 2.0 module for Joomla! that displays and scrolls your site's Articles, Banners, RSS feeds, Twitter updates, Virtuemart products or other items which are loaded dinamically using different animation effects.
It can be used to present newsflashes, testimonials, latest news, banners, remote RSS feeds, Twitter updates, web-shop products or any other content with autoplay or manual scrolling. It's highly optimized, smart and smooth.
AJAX Scroller module for Joomla is highly optimized, hundreds of articles can be displayed and scrolled without any additional load on your website. It uses AJAX technology to pre-load the next article in advance so it's ready for scroll without delay. Once all items are fetched the remote requests stop while scrolling can continue. The whole process is performed without page refresh, quickly, smoothly and user friendly.
You can even duplicate the module and show different slideshows on same page. It can be configured to display several articles at once and remember the last viewed item on page refresh. AJAX Scroller is simple to install and use but powerful in terms of configurations.

AJAX Scroller provides another way to enrich a website. Joomla add-ons and updates from Emir Sackic usually get my attention more than most. Why: they're usually well thought out and developed with remarkable attention to detail.
In fact, with AJAX Scroller I was amazed at the range of options available!
It works "out of the box", yet if questions or queries arise, sakic.net must be one of the most helpful resources around. I don't know how they manage that but long may it continue. Definitely truly worthy of 5 Stars.

This extension does what it promises, and it does it well. I very much like that it is flexible and powerful - but simple to manage.
I got it up & running in five minutes. I am not an expert in CSS at all (... or in Joomla) and always try to use extensions that are as "plug-and-play" as possible. In this case it took me a few more minutes to adapt the CSS files...
... but, being honest, they are a lot easier than average. AND when I've had difficulties I've found an excellent support by the developer. What more can I expect?
Go for it, it's great value for money.

This mod is very easy to configurate.
Even if I had problems with my server configuration, the staff was completely polite and helped me to reach to the solution. BRAVO!!!
