The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This Slideshow is really excellent. Lightweight and easy to install and configure (maybe to less configuration options). The biggest advantage on this Slideshow is that the loading time of the site will increase a lot, because it loads the pics in a very efficient way. I also use Gavick Photoslide GK3 and compared to this Slideshow it will only loads 10% of the Picssize. I found it out with the Web Developer Tool for Firefox (Information/Document Size).

But unfortunately the sideshow has two big disadvantages. The first one is the missing of giving a link a "target=_blank" function so that links open in a new tab/window. I have made this command directly in the default.php of the module but still not work.

The second failure is the noncreation of the thumbnails in the carousel block. In my virtual Server Xampp it works fine. But on my real Webspace the thumbnail creation doesn't work. I have set the rights via FTP on all folders and files to 777 but still no luck. Also my Hoster (a very good one) can't help me. Also the instruction from the Camp26 Forum that the Hoster should whitelist the resize.php script doesn't work. So in the moment i don't know how to get the thumbnails working on my webspace account.

Without these fails the module is really excellent.
