It doesn't feature:
- Images pagination or navigation.
- Images captions.
- Images thumbs.
It only features:
- Adding links to the images.
- Including subfolders.
- Randomizing the images.
*** Important: It requires mootools 1.2+ ***
Version updates:
• 1.0.1: Corrected link functionality bug.
I wanted a no-fuss rotator to do just that - rotate images. This is perfect.
No it's not a super powerful, whizz-bang extension, but it is EXACTLY what the author claims - a very simple image rotator.
A pity that other reviewers didn't read the preamble that said it works only with same sized images and then gave it 1 star because it didn't do resizing or keep ratios the same...
Well done Jesus! Great lightweight entrant!

No fancy gimmickery, just install and works wonderfully. I've been looking for a good image rotator and this did the job perfectly. Just resize all your images to the same size and have a nice image rotator in any module position you like.
Thanks to the developer for doing this.

I will not recommend this extension because it does not have 'Keep Aspect Ratio' option. You can't expect all images in a directory comes in same size.. Some smaller images will be displayed in a odd manner. Especially when using to display logos.
Consider that for next version.

Just what I've been looking for and it did "what it said on the tin". Installed on my local test site and live site perfectly. Has all the options I need - size options and time between images
Thanks for a great little module.

Easy to use, however, the links do not work. So far, only if you allow links to "Repeat" will this function work AND only with the second link you input not the first one. So while the images load and rotate rather nicely, the real functionality that I needed (links to images) does not work. Cannot rate this very high unless issue is resolved.

Hi,
we have fixed the problem with the links. Please try the updated package.
Thank you!
I rate it as Excellent.
All 5 Stars for the module.
It works like a charm on my site.

I would have gladly rated it "excellent", but for the fact that the module vsir does not work on a live site. I am using Joomla 1.7. While the module works like a charm on localhost, it merely shows "No images" on the live site. I have ensured that the images path is correct (it is the same as on localhost); and "caching" is set to "no" on both localhost as well as live site. Further, the "cache time" is set to 100 in both the places. Since the module works so well on localhost, I would love to see it working on the live site too. Unfortunately, I did not see any 'Contact developer' link on their site in order to communicate this feedback to them.

Hi,
This issue should be solved in the current package where we make sure the required mootools files are loaded.
Thank you!
Does exactly what it says. Nice and simple. You will need to load MooTools More to get the transitions to work, which is probably the issue that the previous reviewer found.
Good image rotator, really simple to setup and use... Works perfectly as stated in Firefox and Chrome, but had a small blue frame in IE8.
