Articles Showcase

This script lets you painlessly showcase new or featured contents on your page, by turning ordinary pieces of HTML content into an interactive, "glide in" slideshow. For the ultimate in the ability to customize its look, the pagination links are also ordinary links that you define on the page, but with special CSS class names inserted when it should perform a certain task (ie: "toc" class if it's a pagination link). This means the pagination links can be styled and arranged any way you like.

Great concept, too restrictive.

bywesleyderbyshire on May 16, 2009

If you have Exactly 10 featured articles to display, this is a great way to do it. However, be prepared to write custom HTML for each of these articles, which will ideally include images and links to the actual article. In other words, an intro that is flexible in its design – which is pleasantly powerful.

Unfortunately I removed this module because of the absolute need for 10 items and there was no method to turn off the page navigation.

With some updates, I see this as a very useful module.

Why manually specify the content?

bybaijianpeng on December 13, 2008

The ONLY thing I love for this module is the Glide transition effect. Other designs are bad.

User must input the Text and Title manually at backend. There is no field for URL, maybe you can input HTML directly to the textarea but I have no interest to test more.

Why not let this module extract content items from spesified Sections/Categories/Article IDs ? Add more parameter to show/hide: Title/author/date/IntroText/Image/Section/Category/Read More/More in the same Sec.Cate ...

At present, This module is useless for me. Hope the author can improve it better.
