Avoid this program until the author can stop it from crashing Internet Explorer. This program gives the "operation aborted" error in internet explorer 7.0 and 8.0 beta 1. I know Rok slideshow did it because when I removed it the error went away. Internet explorer 8.0 beta 1 gives a descripton of the error, but still crashes

This program is kind of useless until it supports IE 7.0 and higher

I can't stop using this module. I keep looking at other modules, and I almost always come back to RockSlideShow!

The only way it could be better is if you could easily make images linkable.

works wonderfully - especially after I figured out how to change the text and images - I think this ought to be better explained in the description section of the module.

How do I change the wording on the banner in the corner though? It currently says "top Movie Picks"

This component is - frankly - stunning and does what it says on the tin.

However, I have installed this v3.02) on two Joomla! 1.013 sites and loaded up some text & pictures. I could not understand why my pc was slowing down until I opened the Windows (XP) task manager.

The memory used by the Firefox instance, that was displaying the page, was steadily growing with each image transition - in front of my eyes. I re-tried this with Internet Explorer and Seamonkey with identical results.

Had I not made the site my homepage - I guess I would not have spotted it.
As the support seems stalled & confused - I will have a crack at debuging the Javascript.

It's very good made n easy to use module.
It definitly needs auto high and option for adding links. I'll be wonderful if you can do it !

I am about a week new to Joomla.I have downloaded and used several extensions in building my site with 1.5RC4. I been holding off on putting in slideshow on my homepage because learning curve has been intense, and most entensions seem to don't work the first time.

I had RokSlideshow downloaded, installed and displaying panoramic views of the city in what seemed like about 5 minutes. This is the first extension I used that worked the first time out of the chute! It is simple, intuitive, and powerful. The "Ken Burns Effects" are awesome!

I had major issues with the previous release, it is not that compatible with IE. The problem was solved with the current version, but the graphic quality a bit deteriorated in IE.

However, it still work wonders, especially the magnificent Ken Burns Effect! Bravo and thank you so much for this wonderful module!!

This module couldn't be any easier to use. The features make any use of this module a real pleasure. It just works, and well!

My only request would be the ability to include two (multiples) within a page, which seems to really break this module.

Otherwise, a great tool!

A true example from what is suppose to be an excellent gallery module, easy to setup, configurable, customizable. highly recommended.

This is supernice, exactly what I was looking for except one small (BIG) issue.

I cannot load this module several times in the same possition. I am trying to have several of them next to eachother in my header showing pictures. I would then like them to act in unison (changing images simultaniously) and above all I would like it to be possible, at the moment I get an javascript error saying that it cannot initialize imagelist() twice. Understandable, but I would still like to do this :)

Otherwise - perfect!

This is a good slide show module with a very extensive selection of transitions and fades. A modicum of documentation on would be helpful, but anyone with experience with Joomla will get it running in minutes.

Make sure you check out http://www.electricprism.com/aeron/slideshow/ which is the base Javascript for this module. It has good examples on the parameters and transitions.

Cons: Works best with images of one size, the auto-resize some times cropped the image or stretched the beyond acceptable limits. On some transitions this was not a problem. This is easily fixed by standardizing the size of your images.

as said in another review, images *must* have lowercase extension (image.jpg and *not* image.JPG).

otherwise they'll be ignored and if you have only uppercase extension images you'll obtain an error (mine were around row 111 and involved $sortAux variable, so if you experience the same you know what it is).

it would be nice to patch this because all digital camera I know write images with uppercase name and extension in their memory cards.

the other thing I'd like to be worked out is to display "vertical" images correctly: visualization is forced at some given wide & height pixels and images in different orientation are displayed distorted.

anyway, it work fine, it's easy to use and it has some really nice effects. for me it worked fine on ff2, ie7 and o921.

I crated an account with the Joomla! site specifically to review this module. I love it!
It validates nicely, doesn't insert any generator tags and no HTML quotes saying who made it. Very professionally done!
The only request I have is that the first image displayed should be treated the same way as the rest of the images...
i.e. the first images should pan / zoom like the other displayed images.

A beautiful module that all module developers should use as an example of good design.

Thanks!

Let me start by saying I think this is one of the best non commercial slideshow I've seen (when working), FOR ME it worked like a charm on Firefox, but it wasn't so nice on Internet Explorer (my version is 7) where an ugly javascript error was thrown and the slideshow wasn't even shown. On both FF and IE the following error was thrown: "Error: this.events[type].keys has no properties Source File: http://mywebsite.com/modules/rokslideshow/mootools.js Line: 2" (this was copied right from the FF javascript error console). But this didn't stop Firefox from showing the slideshow perfectly, the same didn't happen on IE where another javascript error was found ("Line 54: Object doesn't take this property or method") and images where never shown.

I went to Line 54 of my webpage and I found this code:

myShow = new Slideshow('my_slideshow', {width: 430, height: 200, hu: 'images/stories/fruit/', images: ['cherry.jpg','pears.jpg','peas.jpg','strawberry.jpg'], captions: [' ',' ',' ',' '], duration: [2000, 9000], type: 'combo', pan: '10', zoom: '10', resize: true});


I don't know if it was my mistake, although I think I did every step needed. Anyway something I think would be very helpful indeed is a forum on your website where I would have preferred to post this. Thank you

i am not so pro at joomla, and while im using other gallery modules always there are problems like as changing diemensions of template and so. but this is useful and i recommend you

I like this module, but had to slog through the .php file to figure out why my pics wouldn't show. Be careful to use lowercase letters in your image extensions! Otherwise, this line won't fill the array with values and you'll get an error message.

if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && isImage($file))

I've some problems using this extension and LightTumb 1.4

LightThumb 1.4 doesn't open the light pop-up, if RokSlideshow is configurated at the same page as Lighthumb:-(

This is a very nice gallery solution, but I miss the smooth and elegant movement like in flash presentations.
Since I have a background in Graphic Design I might be a bit difficult to satisfy :-)

This is one of those modules that are just great to have for any site. It was simple and easy to setup/use. Everything is laid out nicely.

My only suggestion for future versions is to have Height be able to take "auto" and have it resize pictures accordingly. Some of my images are vertical which looks a little odd since I'm forced to use fixed W and H. Also maybe add the ability to have the module link off to a page when clicked.

I would recommend this to everyone who wants to add some simple and quick effects to their site.

I tried it on a local installation, and was very happy with it. RokkSlideshow does not conflict with the Joomlashack Flash Rotator, and even better; it validates! You'll have it work like on the demo in no time.
