Created on Friday, 14 September 2012 10:59 | Last Updated on Friday, 14 September 2012 14:06 |

We are happy to release our new extension for Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2, catchily called VM2 HTML5 Slideshow. This module is designed to show images for your Virtuemart products in an attractive HTML5 slideshow.

The module is search engine friendly, because the caption content and the links are rendered on the page as ordinary html. The module features a variety of image transition effects. The image effects are rendered entirely through HTML5 (no Flash).

The module has a large number of customizable features, including whether or not to display the thumbnails, the orientation of the thumbnails (horizontal or vertical), the type of scroller used (click or mouseover), plus whether to auto-start the show on page load.

Updates To Our Site

Created on Thursday, 16 August 2012 11:23 | Last Updated on Sunday, 13 January 2013 10:17 |

Our site has recently undergone a major update. We think this update will make it more convenient for our users, and will provide a big improvement in the long term.

However it will have a few implications in the short term. If you have ordered a product from us in the past you will find that your old download link no longer works. No need for concern though: you will still be able to access any downloads that you are entitled to by logging into your account and viewing the order. If you think that your order is missing please contact us - we will still have a record of it and will be able to reinstate it for you.
