mfDropCaps: Add your own drop caps to your Joomla articles
mfDropCaps A drop cap is an effective way to jazz up articles on your website. It'll make your site look a bit more professional. There are several CSS techniques to achieve this, but some are not cross-browser compatible and it doesn't support every font.

mfDropCaps replaces every first character of your article or paragraph with a beautiful drop cap by showing an image of the character. This technique is SEO-proof and you can create your own font by changing the images provided by mfDropCaps

mfDropCaps works with jQuery.

Gravatar image Sorry to inform you, but your plugin does not working in Joomla 1.5.2
Simply nothing appears. No change at all.
You should think also about blog front-page layout. It would be very inappropriate to have lots of these stuff on frontpage.

Gravatar image I tried installing your plugin on our newspaper website but was unable. I tried both installs and got the same error on both. Is the Joomla 1.0x version accidently the 1.5x version?

Gravatar image Rade, Mike, thanks for your replies.

It's pretty strange, but I tried installing it here (again) and they're working fine (both for J! 1.0.x and J! 1.5.x).

@Rade: Thanks for the feedback, I'll think about it in a later version.

@Mike: What is the error you're getting? Please contact me through the contact form and I'll help you over there.

Gravatar image Thanx for the quick reply Marco.

When I try installing either of the plugins on Joomla 1.0.15 I get the following error:

Upload module - Upload Failed
Unrecoverable error "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10)"

Upload module - Failed
Installation file not found:

Gravatar image Hi,

Try unpacking the ZIP file on your local machine. Than ZIP the files again, so you would create your own ZIP file.

Upload that file. It should work, good luck!
