The X-banner is a robust and super lightweight image rotating module for the Joomla CMS system.

In making the X-banner ultra-easy and tidy we decided to build it to work in partnership with Joomla’s credited core banner component. This allows the site administrator to work within a familiar tool set while being able to use the welcomed features provide by the X-banner module.

The decision to develop the X-banner was a response to our tiresome search for a banner tool that was lightweight, cross browser compatible and did not conflict with other extensions.

• Robust and super lightweight module.
• Cross browser compatible tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0+, Netscape 9.0+ and works in Opera 9.21+ but without fading effect.
• Uses the Joomla core banner component to manage images and links.
• The choice to call categories of images by using joomla’s Banner Client Manager.
• The capacity to support unlimited images and links.
• With the standard banner setting of width and height the module also allows you to:
• Adjust image transition speed.
• Time delay in-between images in milliseconds.
• Ability to set top, right, left and bottom margin positioning.
• Ability to set border width.
• Choose to randomise the display order of banner images.
• Choose to pause banner rotation when mouse hovers over image.
• Supports all popular web images: gif, jpeg, png
• Module Duplication - the module supports Joomla’s "Copy Module" function, allowing the administrator to have different modules assigned to different pages.
• Image fading transition
