Mod Cobalt Featured Items Carousel - 1.0.1 Stable

A module desgined exclusively for the Cobalt CCK. It displays selected Cobalt fields in a carousel format. Both the main module display and the individual items are controlled by a choice of templates, allowing great flexibility in the choice of the output.

The module can display a simple carousel, or a carousel with image sliders. This is a display where each item consists of text overlaid by an image. When the item is hovered over, the image slides away to reveal the text.

Cobalt Featured Items Carousel has the advantage that it can has been designed exclusively to work with Cobalt, and can render all fields natively. It has many other features:

• the module can select the displayed articles by section, category or by individual record, and can display articles from the currently viewed category;
• records can be selected by record type;
• the module can select individual fields, or by field type (eg, image, gallery)

Images are specially handled. The module can create thumbnails from the image and gallery fields, also from images embedded in html text, and are automatically resized as required.

You can see an example of the layouts here: http://www.spiralscripts.co.uk/Extension-Examples/featured-carousel-example-1.html (this is a different version of the module designed for the Joomla core content component, but the layouts are exactly the same).
