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!

Just want to say that it was exactly what i was looking for. In previous projects i was try to use another sliders with no luck.
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.
After trying many different Article Displays I finally came across this one. The problem I found with most Article Displays that I used was that they didn't display the photos and words correctly, some photos were missing, words didn't line up or they didn't work properly in IE.
This Article Display covers all of the things the others didn't and it is so customisable with many different options. I can use it to showcase many different things on my website without it looking like I am using the same module. It's Great! I also need some help when I was configuring it and support got back to me within an hour and fixed my issue immediately. Thanks for a great extension and excellent support!

I think this is one of the easiest ways to help users see special features on a site. It allows one to publish those gallery stories such as cnn often features where a person pages through the "Worst 10 Jobs in America" or "the 7 richest Americans" etc.
Easy to install, configure and maintain. I like the fact that it still works with Joomla 1.x.
I feature it on my front page at www.gospelhall.org Before, I had a daily feature, but it was very static. With a $30 investment, I increased the number of clicks-per-visit on the site without much work on my part. Great value.

Aside from the fact that 2JNewsslider is a great extension which is easy to use (for customization you can find a user guide as well as some FAQs in the customers section), 2JoomlaNet offers a very friendly, competent and endeavored support – just post a ticket in the support section and it will be answered within a few minutes.
I had a bug with the component in combination with the suckerfish menu of my template showing up on Internet Explorer and it has been fixed immediately.
Special thanks to Dave

I have been looking for an extension that allows me to create more interesting banners and content. This extension lets me do just that! Not only that, I can have more than one copy of the extension running on a single page without any noticable impact on loading speed.
Of particular use is the ability to select from either a single category or from a section. This means I can target any messages to whatever section of the site a user is browsing.
Don't let the extensions title fool you! This can be used for so much more than just news! I've bought this extension and I am using this extension. I don't think there's any better praise for any product.
This is an extremely useful extension at a keen price, especially if you need to use it on more than one site!
Why didn't I give it full marks then? A single minor irritation regarding putting a border around the item, but I have no doubt this will be fixed quickly. When it is this product deserves 5 stars!

This is a very nice extension with the ability to change timing, tween types, fading, images, height, width etc etc. Definitely worth the money.
My only negative would be the fade effect in Internet Explorer 6 seems to anti-alias wrong. Other than that it's a very nice extension!

Anti–aliasing fade problem it’s another one IE6 bug, but we have solution for this problem in our knowledge base (it’s just few simple steps).
Also we’re always ready to reply for any of your questions at support section, but we didn’t see any request from you.
This is a great module. Like their tabs module it does what they say it will do and does what the demo actually demonstrates.
As I said with the Tans module. I had a minor problem related to my template. When I contacted these guys they responded quickly with an offer to make the necessary modifications for me. I gave 'em my FTP and Backend info and viola' it was done.
