There was an issue reported by Revive Coffeehouse about mootools conflicting with the Ajax Banner Rotator.

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

Just updated the Ajax Banner Rotator for Joomla 1.5 and now supports 1.5 without the legacy mode. Randomizing banners are still disabled since IE giving some error that I cant understand.. something to do with randomizing on jqrotator.js file. Comments welcome..

Thanks for the patience. I forgot to update the plug-in, even though I marked it supports 1.5 ;)

Update 0.2b

• 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
