Very very good news slider. I bought two other products before it. This slider is no comparison so powerful, fast and customizable. The product is great and the support team is perfect. A big thank you for giving me the solution. The best news slider on the market by far.
This is a fantastic extension! It is very easy to configure and the developers have thought of EVERYTHING! It does exactly what I want it to do and blends in with my site.
I had a little problem when I installed it. I opened a support ticket and had a response almost immediately! This has to be the most prompt support I have ever received from any extension. Very impressive!

I purchased two extensions prior to seeing the demo of 2JNewsSlider. I knew right away that this was the one I should have bought in the first place. Initially, I had some difficulty with the plugin Single Tag and Multi Tag. However, I was persistent with my questions and it was paid off. This is a great extension. I find that Multi Tag offers me the flexibility pick and choose articles from different categories and instances. Even though, I have to do extra work inserting articles, but it is handy later on if I want to exlude/include article, I can easily remove or modify the tag. It is simply outstanding.
We have tested dozens of joomla extensions with similar functionality during the past years. However, thisone is way beyond compare. Simply because it does what it should (we can't say that about many extensions).
Support is simply great. We submitted a support ticket earlier this morning, and expected to wait 3 or 4 days for an answer.
To our surprise the 2joomla team responded within 15 minutes and had solved the issue after another 3 minutes of work on our joomla installation.
That's what I call value for money ;)

This extension is very good but the support is the best i have experienced to date. I build a lot of Joomla sites and deal with a lot of developers when i need support. I had a small issue with the drop down menu going behind the images. I knew it was a z-index issue but i just couldn't it figure out so i contacted the 2J team and I expected the usual "read more about z-index here...link" advise but they simply asked for the site details and fixed it for me! If only more developers were as willing to help. Well done 2J Team.
I have used this slider several times and this is by far the most elegant, easy-to-use way to show your regular articles in a simple fading module. The navigation squares for each article are easy to use and not clunky like some. I really hope they decide to upgrade this to 1.7, I have had to move on to other sliders I have not liked as much. An important feature to add would be the ability to show featured articles.

Thank you for your kind words! We're almost finished with new update for our extensions compatible with Joomla! 1.6/1.7. We had implemented alot of new interesting features requested by our customers. We're almost finish with testing of new version and planning to make release in close future. Keep watching for updates. We're really appreciate your attention.
It's one of the few commercial extension I bought. This slider is exactly what I need. I select it because I like flexibility and settings amount. Didn't have any problems with it.
I bought it only few hours ago but I already successfully installed it at few sites and easily customize settings and CSS to make it's looks exactly like templates of my sites.
I like ability to build "matrix" slider when slides moving by diagonal. Looks really awesome! Looking forward for Joomla 1.6 version!

Hi All, I wish to share my experience with such a great extensions as newsslider from 2joomla. I'm using it more then half of the year on different sites, but I decide to write this review only after last case when I was impressed even more then usual.
I'm using different extensions in my projects and for the last site I was try to use more then 5 different sliders and every one of them have some kind of the issues with custom designed template, but it's not about 2jnewsslider.
When I install it was up and running in few min. and most important that I didn't get any conflicts or another mismatches in CSS or something.
Really in love with this component and now even more.
Thank you 2joomla team, planning to buy another 2joomla extensions in future!

This slider was built so it can be easily modified to match your site. It is intuitive and easy to use. It also seemed to avoid some of the conflicts that other sliders had with my site (mootools, versus jquery, etc.).
Due to time I have spent troubleshooting other sliders, it was so nice to buy this one and have it work out of the box. It's worth the money because it saves your time.
Good Job!

It's much more then simple news slider! From begin I was lbit confused with so much configuration options. I've checked it more close and now I see that it's really flexible and easy to use extension.
Support was really fantastic! I was have couple of questions about settings and plugin usage. This guys reply me really fast. They was make me some samples directly on my server and explain all details. It's really great tool!
Keep up a great job!

What can i say, i'm really impressed by this extension. To be honest it's a first slider which didn't have any conflicts with my joomla template or some other extensions after installation. Support was great! I've got fast reply for a couple of questions about settings.
Keep up a great job!

Working well after installation, nice scale of the possibilities, very comfortable interface for CSS edit.
Thanx!

I had a compatibility problem which was speedily sorted by the expert support team. I now have the module running beautifully in several different configurations on my site. There is no problem with running two modules with different content on the same page. Thank you for a really super display.
