We have just released an update to Frontpage Slideshow, version 3.2.0. This new release improves integration with Joomla! 1.7/2.5, now fully utilizing the built-in Joomla! ACL for even more control on slideshow creation.
More particularly, this update fixes/adds/updates the following:
- Full integration with Joomla! 1.7/2.5 ACL
- New slideshow template "KeeSports". See the demo here:
demo.joomlaworks.net/frontpage-slideshow/keesports-template
- Slides created from K2 items will now import the "original" K2 item image and resize it - the resulting image quality is better (previously we used the XL image size which could accidentally be adjusted to small dimensions).
- Fixed a problem caused by the RokCandy plugin, where you could not select a Joomla! article (to import its contents as a slide).
- JCE can now be used as the WYSIWYG editor in the slide edit page (if installed).
- For slideshow template developers: the "timer" can now operate both horizontally and vertically. Everything is CSS controlled as usually.
Since v3.1.0, Frontpage Slideshow is fully compatible with Joomla! versions 1.5 to 2.5. To learn more, please read the updated product page at:
