The articles count module (as the name suggests), counts the articles in your Joomla categories, and displays them in a list with a link to the category.
The module comes with several configurable options, such as:-
Optionally the module can use a collapsible tree to show the category structure, as shown below:-
However if you do not want this behaviour you can have a simple list of categories:-
This component for the Joomla Content Management System generates a product data feed for your Virtuemart store in XML format. The product listing can be manually uploaded, or submitted as an URL to Google Merchant Center for scheduled upload. You can view an example feed for this site here.
This content plugin for Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2 allows you to embed Virtuemart product information directly into a Joomla article.
The plugin comes in two forms: a free non-commercial plugin and a 'pro' version with extra layouts, the ability to display additional images for the product, and a more sophisticated add to cart button. Both versions allow you to display a product thumbnail with a link to a lightbox full size image. The pro version supports a choice of lightboxes: the Joomla modal lightbox; slimbox and JCE mediabox. With the pro version you can also specify the image sizes as parameters rather than being limited to the default Virtuemart thumbnail sizes.
The product information is embedded into the article with some very simple embedding code, it can be as simple as the following:-
{product id=51}
Most options can be set through adding additional parameters to the embedding code. All the output is controlled through templates (which can be overridden in your site template), making it easy to customize the layout as you require with some basic knowledge of html and css.
The default layout, available in both the free and pro versions of the plugin. This optionally shows an image thumbnail, the product name, short and/or long description, a link to the Virtuemart product page, the product price and an add-to-cart button. In the free version there is a simplified layout for the add to cart button. In the pro version you can also customize the image size.
The Pro version of the plugin includes additional layouts.
This layout shows the main product image, with the additional images as small thumbnails. All are linked to full size versions displayed in a lightbox.
This layout displays the product additional images as a slideshow.
This layout shows a single image, but it is a link to a lightbox gallery showing all additional images.
Our Featured Items Slideshow module supports a variety of transition effects. You can select the transitions you would like to use in the module parameters, or allow a random selection of all transitions.
The effects are illustrated below. Note that you need a web browser that supports HTML 5 in order to see the effects.
