System Requirements

The module requires Joomla 2.5.x and Virtuemart 2.0.x. The transition effects also require a web browser that supports the canvas element, such as Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, or Chrome. Visitors who do not have a compatible browser will see the same slideshow but with a simple fade transition.
