Content Slider - animated versatile content display Send Print
Wednesday, 07 October 2009
Component Resources
StatusIcon Status Revised

I am really missing an animated content display module (aka SLIDER).

  • display CERTAIN CONTENT from in-/excluded categories
  • display ONLY FEATURED articles
  • display RANDOM articles
  • display RANDOM FEATURED articles
  • selected articles ON CERTAIN TIMES OR DATES (already done in contentViewer!?)

My top favourite content sliders are:

  1. 2joomla News Slider
  2. joomlaEZ Argue
  3. RokStories
  4. others, YooTools etc.

I already messaged some 3rdParty developers to modify their extensions to support JS categories... I am sure, they will need support and documentation from you.

Can you fill the gab? Or do we have to wait for 3rdParty stuff?

Thanks for listening.

 

EDIT & NEWS:

JoomlaEZ is short on time and human resources (answered 10.10.2009). Can MightyExtensions help out?

2Joomla is messaged, common positive answer, but no news about the current status.

RocketTheme; sorry no Forum-Access, I will try the official contacts as soon as possible.

 

EDIT:

SpiralScripts.co.uk "Featured Items Pro & Carousel & Slideshow" are getting better now. They work field-based with ME Resources. Not exactly what i am after, but the only alternative at the moment. I am missing a date display in FeaturedItems Pro... i did some requests in their support forum.

@MightyExtensions

JoomlaEZ is willing to develop, but at the moment they do not have the human resources. Could you help out? Does it make any sense to modify or extend a 3rdParty extension on your own?

I have access to the RocketTheme forum. Just posted a feature request there... I'll let you know if they are willing to pick this up...

I can´t find your feature request on the RT EXT forum? Do you have a link or any news?

@neoketsord

Thank you for your support! Keep my fingers crossed!!!

A similar integration like with K2 would be really cool – i doubt it is as easy as with K2, but i hope they will manage it.

I will try to get some news from 2Joomla...

2Joomla replied to my latest request (did a similar one earlier this year):

Hello Maik,
thank you for your care! I remember your request and i'm sure that we'll extend our features for the current "content related" extensions in new release and for the new extensions also. 
I really appreciate your kind words and from our side we'll all best to keep our extensions in top!
We're really appreciate if you share with me all your need .... i mean, if you have more features which you wish to have in slider or tabs feel free to post your requests here and we'll add them in future releases.

Regards,
Dave
2JoomlaNet Team

 

My thoughts:

What does that mean...? I don´t know. But in general, their support is really nice and the extensions itself are really smart and feature rich. Almost perfect, many options..., maybe thats why there are such a few updates on their products. In short – i tend to believe their promises ;-)

Still no reaction from RocketTheme... I've posted a request at http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=16&t=78366&p=401840&rb_v=viewtopic#p401840. (think only members have access to this URL)...

I am a member there at RocketTheme, and I have just supported you on your thread. Maybe they would listen if more people vote in favor of this request.

Forgot about this... please make any requests for

joomlaEZ Argue

in this forum thread:

http://community.joomlaez.com/index.php/topic,15.0.html

Please read the post and definitely checkout the FREE version of the slider module. I like it very much. Do not judge the product by the homepage ;-) The PRO price tag is rediculous low... The more demands and requests, the earlier we have Resources support!

Join now!

Of course, I definitively support this request.
Given the quality and versability of MightyResource, this would be incomprehensible that the  Developers will not create a such vital module as a "Modern Content Slider". It's the same for the PDF stuff.
Moreover, joining Mighty, I wanted to avoid having many origins of the components and modules in my projects. And I think it's the case of most of us.

Thanks for following!

I think we have to trust the 3rd-party developers, cause ME seems to build upon the template-technique for their content display module. In one of my other requests (from June'09), there was a promise for some new seperate display modules... so, we might see some special display modules for different fields like images, video, audio etc.

Please visit the previously mentioned 3rd party forums, to spread the word... more demands will result in more solutions.

Thanks for listening.

Hello Maikkaune,

But for our community of ME users, better ME implement this feature.
Best Regards.

Hello.

I see this feature to be implemented with MigthyTemplate project. We are planning to make integrated templates for Resources component at each new Joomla template of MightyTemplate.
