HOT Designation
With this module, you can make some content of your page to stand out. The module is organized in "slots". For each content unit of the module (slot), you can have:
- A small picture
- A big picture
- Heading and piece of text
- Link to the full article (optional)
The idea of this module is not to catch existing Joomla articles as Hot Joomla Carousel Pro, but to allow users to add content (heading, pair of images and few sentances of text) into the module itself. The content units (slots) can be linked to the existing articles if needed.
You have full control over the module dimensions (width and height), number of slots displayed on slide. You can also set small and big images dimensions and animation properties. The "Read more" text for linked articles can be changed and titles can be linked or plain.
Regarding the module styling, for both headings and plain text, you can change font color, font family, size, weight (normal or bold) and style (normal or italic).
In order to be displayed in rotation, each slot should be enabled (select Enable Slot: On). You can rotate up to 15 slots per page.
