it looks great, especially the movies theme, and is super easy to install and get up and running. but you can only display the number of slides that can fit within the image container.

For example, if you have your main image set at 400px high, and your thumbnails set to 100px high, you'll only be able to display 4 thumbnails, any more and you'll have show a hideous old school scrollbar. it needs up and down arrows, or needs to scroll on hover or something.

This unfortunately kills this plugin if you need to display more information on your frontpage slideshow.

It looks really good, it's quite popular, so I decided to include it.
But everything went pear shaped when I created a second instance to show it on different pages than the first one. For some reasons the second one did not show the images, or messed up the styles or did not show the list items as such. Then after saving the module settings without any modification, the problems were different such as displaying titles when I said not to display titles... etc.
Someone had the same problem as me and posted a request on their forum... in May, and still no response, so I guess I have to pass on this one.

As I said, it's great as long as you don't use more than one instance.

This is absolutely perfect! Extremely easy to setup, even for amateur Joomla user, like me. Really powerful, easy to customize. One of my favourite add-ons so far. Great job once again JoomlaWorks!

Very helpful tool, but there's one wish. Make please an opportunity to add a note "read more" after the number of words/symbols the plugin shows (I don't like title to be shown twice). Of course, I wish the note to be adjustable.

Hi there,

many thanks for this great extension.
It contains everything I was looking for, except:

I needed the possibility to set it's background color to transparent.
Since it's not supported by the module itself, I had to modify the code.

Could you please include this feature one of the next releases?
I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm relatively new to Joomla and extensions can be so difficult to implement. But when I install the extensions from Joomlaworks - they just work. Thank you for all your hard work :)

The module provider should specify that this module doesn't work with multilanguage when you config it as AJAX CROSS FADER.
With JQUERY CROSS FADER/SLIDER multilanguage works.

Why the module usese jquery instead mootools ( joomla 1.5 comes with mootools ) ?

It's a nice extension.

Great tool to get your least accessed articles more attention.

Thanks for a Wonderful Share

Great extension to display dynamic content. It integrated easily in my website. Thanks!

I have reached a point with Joomla extensions that if I see an extension that has been developed by JoomlaWorks, I don't look any farther. I know their extensions are going to do what they see they will do.
UCD is no exception to that rule. It does exactly what the developers say it will do and enhances your content display.
To the developers, Great work and Thank you for another great extension.
I will be donating to the pizza fund on this one.

This is a good module. That said I've never got the AJAX version working and have had to resort to jQuery. Still it does what I need it to.

I had a problem with the module displaying all of the content on page load. I looked in the forums and found no solution or even answer from the developer.

This I find a little out of order, especially as after a little digging I found out how to fix it.

If you want to stop the module displaying all the content it will rotate on pageload, edit the css and add display:none to ul.ucd_jqueryfader li.ucd_item.

Fixes it nicely.

This is great if you want to have articles like a newsflash to appear, it is also good for testimonials on site, instead having a page of testimonials or displaying one random testimonial each refresh, this module can rotate the testimonials around
Very useful

this module is really great, it really did what I want and can be flexible, but 1 thing I don't like is the random setting, I set 10 item count in random, but I always got less than 10 (and to test it if it does do the job, I unpublished some articles to make it exactly 10). but it did not reach 10 articles list it only display 4 and it is not in random as it always display the same list but only have different position. I hope if this is a bug or something please let us know. (it was in a normal list not the Ajax.) ^^

I've been working for a free solution for a carousel module, and this was the best alternative I found.

Worked great from the get go, with very easy to understand instructions.

A suggestion to make it an even better extension: add support for manual transition (arrows). This way user can navigate as they wish.

Thanks!

This is great, I was looking for a way to hide content so as not to take the users eye away from some photo's. I didn't want to use the usual 'read more' as I needed the user to stay on the same page.

I found this extension and installed / configured it in literally less than 2 minutes and it does the job perfectly.

My client will be stocked, many thanks indeed :)

Module works without a flaw on my Joomla 1.5.3 Website.
Many options in configuration panel.
I definitely recommend it.

This module is amazing on how many different ways you can display content. Very, very flexible. I use it for showing a list of content in chronological order (for showing upcoming events), another for randomly showing the intro text of content each time that the page is refreshed, and yet another for showing YouTube videos with a "current" video along with a list of past videos. In other words, you can use this a million different ways on your website and can often combine several UCDs on the same pages for really cool ideas. The best display module out there!

Thanks for this GREAT module!

Was not easy to find though. The joomlaworks.gr site is bit flat... :) And the name doesn't suggest what it is about.
1 validation error confirmed.

But never mind I finally have what I was looking for.

This module, in Ajax mode, has a very nice effect, and is very easy to configure. Instead, I don't like jQuery mode...

There could be a problem with ISO/UTF8 encoding (chars like è, ù, ...), in this case, go here for resolution:
http://forum.joomlaworks.gr/index.php?topic=1717.msg7374#msg7374

Another problem could be that is not possibile to set transparent background... But it can be manually modified in code.

Thank you JoomlaWork! You always made great works!
