Introduction

Slideshow

showplus is an eye-catching slideshow to display a set of images with user-defined transition between them. It is easy to get started with but offers a number of customization options for more advanced users.

showplus is powered by a slideshow script written entirely in plain JavaScript, and uses no Flash or JavaScript libraries such as MooTools or jQuery. Having a showplus slideshow on a page incurs a footprint of about 14 Kb with only a single CSS file and a JavaScript file included in the page header.

Features:
+ responsive design, scales to arbitrary size
+ choose from six transition animation types: fade, zoom, pan, Ken Burns effect, push, wipe
+ attach captions to images with multilingual support using a labels file with fall-back to a default caption
+ link each image to an arbitrary location
+ order images according to filename or last modified time, shuffle images each time the page is shown, or specify custom order
+ quickly navigate between images with a horizontal or vertical navigation bar
+ set most important styles in the administration back-end
+ use it with both left-to-right and right-to-left languages
+ meaningful output even if JavaScript is disabled in the browser

Simply brilliant!



Posted on 10 August 2011
It just works exactly as it should do. Lots of customisation. No messing about. A lovely perfect plug-in and worth 20 euros of anyone's money. Except it's free! I hope the developer goes on to make a lot of money because he understands how to make a good fuss free plug-in.



Thanks!

It works OK in J! 1.7 version

Great extension. I've only found a small issue that I could not solve: is it possible to stop or pause the slideshow in the last image? Sorry cause of ask this question here, but I was not be able to find any kind of contact way in the developer website.

Awesome gallery! easy setup



Posted on 07 August 2011
This is the best Gallery/Slideshow I've found for Joomla. Super easy to install and setup, and fully customizable via css.

Brilliant



Posted on 07 August 2011
The best non-commercial slideshow I have seen yet, thanks a lot!

Simple and efficient



Posted on 03 August 2011
This was the kind of gallery I was looking for, It's very easy to set up.



You just create a module, link it to a folder with images, and that's it. You can even provide images description and external links as long as you provide a details.txt file in that same folder.



I have detected some minor problems, related or not to that extension. For instance, many large images will leave your page blank. I had to resize them. I also had a problem with the zoom factor, the 0 value was still zooming the pic, but the resize I made previously made that problem disappear.



Some improvement in adding new functionality might also be included, provided it doesn't collide with the philosophy the owners are trying to implement, such as creating thumb categories, to display several sets of images on the same module.



This is however a very good extension, a must to have on your site!

Love Module but Problems in Chrome



Posted on 28 July 2011
Everything works fine except that occasionally the slideshow does not load in Chrome. I have to empty my cache and then it works again. Any suggestions?

I have different showplus slideshows on different pages. If one doesn't work they all don't work. If one works they all work.
Owner's reply: This phenomenon is most likely not specific to showplus but to particular versions of Joomla/MooTools or other extensions showplus is used in conjunction with; I am afraid it is not possible to give a simple "canned" suggestion that fits all cases. In general, it is best to contact the extension developer directly (see Support button), a review does not expose your e-mail to the listing owner and it is not possible to contact you for details. (As a bonus, you get a much faster reply by contacting the developer directly; it takes time before your review is approved and exposed to the listing owner, whereas an e-mail lands directly in the developer's mailbox.)

Finally!



Posted on 26 July 2011
OMG! Finally someone put together a 1.6 compatible rotating image gallery that has a simple "classy" transition instead of goofy, obnoxious flying squares or a set of images that frenetically rewinds the image set when it gets to the end. If you have more than 5 images that just looks awful!!! You can stop here. Trust me, I tested so many others.

Just what I needed!



Posted on 26 July 2011
This was just what I needed for a new Joomla 1.7 site. I tried several of the 1.7 Non-Commercial slideshows and this one worked the best and met all my requirements - image folder based, adjustable effect and timing. I also appreciate that it uses MooTools rather than having the client load an additional Javascript library.

Fast, easy set up



Posted on 24 July 2011
I was looking for a fast slideshow to replace a slideshow on a live site that was causing conflicts. I chose Showplus and got it set up and in place in less than 30 minutes. Set up was pretty intuitive. There are a lot of options that gave me the flexibility I needed to put it into place with very little css tweaking needed. I had to do some tweaking to get it centered but that may have been the template.

Excellent, free and great support



Posted on 21 July 2011
Having incorrectly read point 9 in the setup instructions, I contacted the developer who responded almost immediately and was very helpful. An excellent and free extension which I would recommend to anyone
