S5 Image Fader v3.0

Written by Administrator
The S5 Image Fader v3 brings a nice new list of features to our old image fader module. The new version runs off of mootools and allows you to use an unlimited number of images to rotate through. You simply select a directory on your server to pull images from and the module will pull and display all the images from that directory! You can choose from fade in/out, zoom/pan and slide for the transition effects between images. We still included the legacy option running of S5 Effects if you need to run the older version of this module.

Tutorial:


1. First off you'll need to get your images uploaded to a directory on your server. In the admin of the module you'll need to put relative path to your images. For example if you have your images stored here: http://www.myserver.com/images/ then the relative path would just be "images" in the admin of the module.

2. Next is naming your images. The only part that matters for this module is that right before your image extension ( .jpg, .gif, .png) is that you include an "m" for main image. If you are using thumbnails you'll need to include "mt" for main thumbnail.

3. The next thing to note is that your images will be pulled no matter what you include before the "m" and "mt" so you could name them: testm.jpg and testmt.jpg for the first image and checkitm.jpg and checkitmt.jpg for the second image and the fader will pull them. This is ok if you don't need an ordering to your images but if you do then name them as follows:

0_0m.jpg
0_1m.jpg
0_2m.jpg

And so on for the first ten, now the next ten you must prefix with 1 so that all the next ten stay in the number 1 set. The first number depicts the set and the second number is the image in that set, for exmple:

1_0m.jpg
1_1m.jpg
1_2m.jpg
