Modified version of sobi2_simplefeatured to inlcude a javascript slideshow, using jquery and the crossslide plugin.

The idea was to combine rokslide with sobi entries, we did it.

sobi2_simplefeatured v2.0.6

Pretty simple to install and configure, just the same process with a little tweaks for the slideshows. Through the install process you should take notice of the output of sobi2 simple featured now. With slideshows turned on in the configuration panel the slideshow box will display before any other sobi2 simple featured data will and it will then proceed to output the data sequentially according to the data ordering. Also, it is highly recommended to increase the width and height of the default setting for logo pictures, the bigger the picture the better the slideshow, if the picture you're trying to use is too small for the slideshow width and height set in the configuration panel then it will not display and you will get error in your javascript console telling you so.

Tested with Joomla! 1.5.14 and jQuery 1.3.2.

Possible incompatibilities/bugs to be resolved:

* Sometimes does not play nice if two or more featured modules are installed, but I think have resolved most it's issues resolving around namespace.
* If the pictures with your content vary in large amounts in height and width there might be some inconsistancies with the javascript plugin

Todo:

* Better slideshow control
* Combonation with entry module that allows more than one image per entry
