The choosen Category does not need to be published - so if you do not want those Articles to be found via the site search they do not have to!
It will use all published Articles inside the chosen Category in the given Order descending.
This module needs php5 and GDlib installed to work proper. It generates nice Slide Handles with Truetype Font vertical Lables.
The Lables will be pulled from the Articles Titles.
You can add background Images for the Slides to make it look nice.
Requires PHP 5
The mod seems very nice and easy enough, however, once installed, the parameters were not available... I picked the position and could see the module was perfectly set correctly, but without parameters, it became useless since I could not assign articles to show. I visited the developer's site and somebody else posted the same issue to the forum 3 weeks ago and a response with a solution has not been received. That discouraged me greatly and I decided to just uninstall it.
I installed this a few days ago and it works flawlessly. Good if you want the accordion animation. However 2 small tjings:
In IE displays broken image icon above picture and I can't align the image to left side. For the banner it takes the amount you have set from the right side of the picture. I had to redesign the animation for this.

By using this module I have a site that is easy to navigate - simple to follow and very attractive to users. The installation was very straightforward - I experimented with the module settings and I now have exactly the result I was looking for. I created the section/category, created the articles - ordered them in the Article manager and hey-presto - worked first time. I have other plug-ins in the articles - I have embedded YouTube Video... what more can I say.. absolutely 100% recommendation. Easy to Use and it not only works, it works very very well.
I give this extention thumbs up! I like its elegance and flow. A rare quality for a free extention. Thank you!
