We have just released a minor update to Frontpage Slideshow, version 3.0.1.
This update fixes/adds/updates the following:
- Replaced Joomla date picker with jQuery UI date picker
- Add source type info in the slides list (e.g. Joomla! Article, K2 etc.)
- Add parameter check in "Movies" and "Uncut" slideshows for title and tagline (used in the navigation bar)
- New option added in the module and component menu item to completely disable jQuery if you already load it in your site and options to either load the library from a local copy (great for offline site building) or from Google's CDN. The slideshow engine is compatible with jQuery 1.5.x+ and we have included the latest 1.5 and 1.6 releases of jQuery.
- Moved jQuery's "no conflict" option within the slideshow engine script to address issues occurred in some sites with Mootools code being fired inbetween the slideshow engine and the initializer script, causing JavaScript conflicts.
- Corrected PHP warnings showing up in some server setups.
- Fixed "menu itemid" being added to slides using menu items as links, which pointed to external URLs (no need for the menu itemid).
Since v3.0.0, Frontpage Slideshow is fully compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7. To learn more, please read the updated product page at:
