Revealing Photo Slider
Introduction
Give every photo an entrance. Each new slide is revealed through a circle, wipe, split, diamond, or fade instead of a plain slide. Add images, pick an effect, and publish it in any module position. No jQuery.
Revealing Photo Slider is a Joomla site module for Joomla 4.4, 5, and 6. Slides can come from Media Manager, a folder under images/, or article intro images. It is flat by default with square corners and your template font, and you can add a corner radius, a soft shadow, or your own colours when you want a card look.
Why site owners choose it
- Seven reveal effects: circle, horizontal and vertical wipe, horizontal and vertical split, diamond, and fade
- Three slide sources: manual Media Manager rows, a whole folder, or intro images from an article category
- Captions that read well: tag, title, text, and an optional link, with a soft or strong gradient behind them
- Fits your template: flat by default, with optional radius, shadow, accent, tag text, and background colours
- Clean controls: arrows, dots, a slide counter, a progress bar, and play / pause, each optional
- Accessible and light: keyboard, swipe, reduced motion, translatable screen reader labels, about 11 KB of JavaScript
Perfect when you want
- A homepage hero that feels more alive than a standard slider
- A portfolio or travel strip fed from article intro images
- A quick gallery from a folder you already upload to
- A wide cinematic banner with a 21 / 9 ratio and a height limit
- A lightweight slider that does not load jQuery or a second slider library
