Theme Joomla Power Slide is a Joomla! (1.5.x) Image Slide Show Module based upon Smooth Gallery 2 -with additional features.

The Power Slide Image Slide Show System allows you to have clean, simple and smooth transitional image slideshows in a optimised lightweight javascript module area.

This transitional slideshow has many features - including an image carousel, image titles and descriptions (floating in a transparent DIV above the image), image navigation, a built in light box- below is summary of all major features:

Built in Lightbox - for opening and viewing images outside of slideshow
Real Time Image Pre-loader - loads images as you view them, saving bandwidth and load times
Automatic or User Controlled Slides - users control slide shows themselves or slide show runs automatically
Enable or Disable Mootools Javascript - to avoid conflicts with other code in your site
CSS Color Variables - title, desciption and link colors can be set in the module
Advanced Thumbnails - thumbnails can be generated manually or automatically, and also managed
Random Image Selection - images can be displayed in random, or sorted in admin component

Power Slide also has a commercial release version (Power Slide Pro which has a comprehensive admin component and advanced module). Both versions have fully commented code, are SEO optimised, and are built up to web 2.0 standards (valid CSS and valid XHTML).

----------------------
Power Slide Pro currently uses the Mootools 1.1 framework, and will use Mootools 1.2 in the next major release...

I started with another gallery component/module on my site and was pretty happy with it but it just wasn't "complete" (we're considering that for the next update), wasn't particularly in line with my overall site look and wasn't very friendly to updating the look and feel. So I started looking for a new system when I stumbled upon Power Slide Pro. Installation and configuration only took about 30 secs to get it up and running in its out-of-the-box design which was attractive and looked profesional to start. From there I started my css and layout "hacks" that the guys from the other company told me couldn't be done. Power Slide was really easily styled to seamlessly match my site design and I couldn't be happier. Everyone loved the ease-of-use and how well it functioned. It made me look really good. Nice job!

And the customer service is awesome. Quick and precise answers and offers to personally correct your issues are unparalleled.

While the free version will be enough for some and will make your site look really nice, the commercial pro level gives you many more options. It's not that expensive and I really recommend it.

Since I am not very technical (that’s an understatement) I had some reservations (fear would be a better word) about ordering Power Slide Pro. I bit the bullet and ordered it. I’m extremely pleased I did and absolutely delighted with this program. I had no problems whatsoever with the installation. That was HUGE for me.

I’m even more impressed with the level of technical support and customer service I am receiving. In the past, with other programs, I have paid for tech support. I am almost 70 years old and the support I am receiving from Lumo far exceeds any help I have ever received for any product. That includes support I have paid for.

In college I studied Greek and Latin but I have not studied, nor am I fluent, in Geek Talk. Lumo explains difficult things in easy to understand English; not Geek Talk. He goes even beyond that. I gave him access to my Joomla! Control panel and he did some things for me that were beyond my capabilities… And explained what he did so next time I can do it myself. That is support. Thank you Lumo.

This is a great application, but what is even better is the customer service. I would give 12 stars if I could.

Thanks for the positive thoughts, glad we could get it all sorted for you!

I used this extension to run a showcase on my front page and it works perfectly. The load on proceccor is light, code is simple and neat, CSS is easily customizable, from all the slide-show extensions currently published on this website, this one is FREE and really working plus nice documentation available on developer's website.
Very recommended.

Thanks for the review :) We will be adding more features to the free GPL version with the release of Power Slide Pro 2.0 - in about 2 months :)

The free module worked fine for us... the only problem we had was that the main features we needed were only in the pro version, so we have moved on to that.

We did ask for a plugin for this, and the Theme Joomla team helped us get that sorted out, so service was good to!
