Good module, but this works only with image file names numbers for showing descriptions.
Example: "test-image.jpg" doesn't work, instead of "1.jpg" that shows alt,title,link. It took me a lot of time to understand why descriptions didn't display!
I think that this problem could be mentioned in documentation. Nevertheless, good job!

Thank you for your review. The extension supports all file names. If you have any problem, contact us via email or forum on our site.
I've used serveral ARI modules and each one preforms very well, is easy to set up and looks great.
ARI Image Slider is very easy to use and customize to your liking. I've never had any issues with conflicts. It has all the features I could need.
I'm now moving from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 and happy to see that ARI is upgrading their extensions to keep up with Joomla. I'd hate to do without some of them. Sure there are others out there but these suite my aesthetics and work great.

Most free slideshows don't work properly, are overloaded or just made with flash. This one is perfect for my needs: easy to configure (and just stripped down to what is essentiel for a slideshow), fast, slick and with great effects.
Thanx for this! You're awesome!

This extension has very good options, too bad that the version of jQuery being used is so low, on my site currently using version 1.7.
I really like as it keeps the aspect ratio of images.

Hi Guys,
for everyone looking for an image slider I can only recommend this one.
I already tried so many but this is the one with the best functions, most opportunities and so easy to use.
But best of all is the support from Ari Soft if questions come up!
Great tool - great team - I would never use another one.
Kind regards

WOW These guys are amazing.
I had a unique situation using Ari Image Slider with Ari Colorbox. They have adapted the script in double quick time and now both work together in my unique environment, beautifully.
Here is a perfect example of Customer and Service working as if they were one.
You are the best - Many thanks.

I could not believe how simple it was to install and configure this module. Furthemore, i was able to check the forum for a couple issues i experienced and was able to fix due to reviewing similar issues that were promptly resolved by the support team. I highly recommend this module.
I am very new to making websites so even though this extension is easy to install and get working, I had a few problems. Apart from the fact that this extension looks great, I was extremely impressed with the assistance I got from the Ari-Soft team. Day or night, weekday or weekend, I received very quick responses and now the Ari Image slider is working beautifully on my site. Thank you to Ari-Soft for a great product and great service.

I absolutely love the Nivo slider, and ARI Image Slider converts it to Joomla the best. Customizing it is easy Joomla-side, which I appreciate. And it's very easy to update and maintain, which my clients will appreciate!
The only issue I've had with it so far is the following:
It's not obvious or documented where the "ariimageslider.ini" file for descriptions should go -- I dug through the forum thinking there was a bug as to why it wasn't working, which wasted my time. Please mention this somewhere so future users don't have an issue with it!
Other than that this is absolutely superb... Thanks so much, and especially for making it free! :)

However... It's not what I'm looking for.. I'm not sure if it was just me though.
I'm using png files as my photos (only 3 pics total) and it seems that I can't configure the picture to fade OUT appropriately. Image A comes in then the transition begins for Image B but Image A doesn't fade all the way and I'm left with pic on pic for a few seconds which jumbles the text on those images. (btw these pics are like want-ads for my site which means they include text)
SOO... i found that while tweaking the params I could make it do something really awesome, just not what I'm looking for.. So my review is a Buyer/Downloader be-ware review.
Very good ext.!
