Image Swap Rollover Menu

The Image Swap Rollover Menu is a Joomla module which can be either a mini-photo gallery of rollover images, or a complete menu. The module has the following capabilities:

• Use up to 10 sets of images. For each set, you can optionally specify a Default Image which shows when the page loads, an image to show on mouseover, and an image to show after mouseover. The after mouseover image can be the same as the first image, or can be a different image. You can use a little as one image, or up to 10. For our demo, we show seven images.
• Set a maximum width for all images, or allow some images (especially on rollover) to be larger than others. This effect is showcased in our Demo to the left. Had we set a maximum size, then all of the images would be shown the same.
• Each set of images can link to a unique URL. Link to any unique 10 URLs!
• The option to open the URLs in a new window or the same window. This option is available separately for each URL.
• The ability to display one or more images in either a vertical or horizontal manner. Use one image as a banner. Use multiple images as a gallery to draw interest in an article. Use as advertising, or use as an image menu. The choice is yours! For our Demo, we use a vertical banner.
• The ability to set the number of pixels between the images and above and below the images.
• The ability to set alternate tags for the images which help in SEO.
• The ability to set an image title that displays when the rollover image is shown.

About the Demo

This demo showcases 6 sets of images in a vertical alignment. The menu module is floated in using the loadposition plugin standard to Joomla. For these images, there is no maximum width specified, so the on mouseover images can be substantially larger than the default image. In my case, we are using three images per set (Default, Mouseover, After Mouseover). The image set "Family Shows" has only two images specified, and so returns to the default image after the mouse has been removed.

The module can support up to 10 sets of images. The URLs for this Demo lead to ticket options for demonstration purposes, and all are set to open in a new window. The spacing between images is set at 5px in the module parameters. This space is completely configurable.

As the demo shows, the module is designed to create a quick horizontal or vertical image menu with an attractive rollover effect that can be placed in any module position, or within content using the loadposition plugin.

Comparison

Image Swap Module with Lightbox - Works with one image set - Default, on mouseover, and after mouseover. Can open the URL in a lightbox. Awesome for forms such as registration, videos or other media in a lightbox, external sites that provide information but not take the user from your Website. Can also open the URL in a new window, same as the Image Swap Module.
