Shape 5 - Image and Content Fader Module

The S5 Image and Content Fader is an advanced version of the S5 Image Fader. This tool gives you all the ability to transition through up to 10 images plus the ability to add content to each slide with a nice fading effect. Each slide's content and image has it's own configurable settings such as colors, sizes, opacity, paddings, tween time, and more! This module is powered by S5 Effects. This means you will not receive any conflicts with other javascript libraries, your template, modules or components you might be using. Best of all it's free! On the demo page navigate to Extensions/Image and Content Fader

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
Has some nice features but definitely needs improvements. Would be nice if the parameter settings could be converted to be universal for all the slides instead of manually entering the css info for each image.

The most major issue is that the description text area div uses a background with opacity. This is what I wanted, but when the slideshow is viewed in IE8 the opacity does not show.

Personally I am a FF user, but those who view the site may not be. This issue needs to be addressed in order for this module to be browser compatible.

If you don't need to use the opacity feature then this module will work fine for you.

This module works great in 1.5 native.

I'm a big fan of Shape 5. Their modules and templates have always worked great for me, and their support is 2nd to none.

If you are looking for a simple slideshow that just works, this is the one. Nothing fancy, nothing advanced.

I got this one because I was in need of a slideshow, that *doesn't* use mootools, giving me more freedom of scripts.

Pros:
- Script independent
- Works out of the box
- No bugs so far
Cons:
- Only 10 images
- Back end could have more options
- Only "fade in" anymation
I use this component for my website, it's very simple to configure, nothing complex.

Simple to use, simple to set up, works first time!

For a free mod, it's feature-packed. Downsides? 10 image limit, but i'm sure those with a bit of coding knowledge would be able to add some more.

Well worth a try!

Installed , Works Great.

The only problem is that back end module management is not display correctly in Firefox, have to use IE(R) Instead
