Revive Coffeehouse said… Hey, Just as a heads up.. when using this module, it seems to disable the mootools menu effects, reverting them to standard CSS driven menus. So, I have a fancy banner rotator, but no fancy menus : ) Any idea if this can be fixed??

Possibly this is due to conflict of Mootools and JQuery. http://forum.mootools.net/viewtopic.php?pid=26204 hopefully it’s been fixed on newer JQuery release (which I’ve used here). Please keep me posted on that issue.

I never expected to keep this thing up to date and fixing bugs (I’m no coder by profession as well as I’ve turned my evil eye towards RubyOnRails these days). But seems the rule that parents responsible of taking care of children applies here as well :)

V0.3b and 0.4b has also fixed the IE issue where the whole page becoming a link

Read other posts on update, first release

• Text from “Banner Custom text” field can be displayed with the rotating images and the text can be formatted using an external style sheet using the ID “rot_txt” (eg: ul#ajaxb_rotator #rot_txt {margin:10px 10px 10px 10px;})
• Links can be turned off if necessary
• The module can be used as an image rotator (with advanced functionality) by using the banners as source images (create a client and then it can be used to manage images)

Module is available for downloading from http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/ajax_banner/ and its hosted in www.joomlacode.org

AJAX Banner Rotator works with Joomla! v1.x (on J! v1.5 not been tested yet). it is a combination of “AJAX header rotator” module and “All Banners” module. it simply combines the functionality of both modules.

Once you add the banner ads from standard ad manager component, You can have your ads to be displayed in a slide-show using this module. Configuration is pretty straight forward and if you have ads added to system it will just start working once you insert this module to any module position.

I’m planning to use this as main image of a website related to travel/hospitality industry where users can be given an idea on the locations/hotels/resorts/activities awaiting for them and take them to relevant pages and categories directly (later the service providers may sign up for a premium spot in home page)

Please Note:

• this module has been developed since there was a need of such a module and it serves the purpose for me
• my knowledge in php/ajax = 0 and giving technical support would be difficult however comments suggestions and improvements are always welcome
• this is not a commercial endeavor and you are free do what ever you like with it; yet hope others will also contribute to Open Source Software (i’m just trying to do my bit)
