A common problem in web design is having a lack of space. mfSlideBar gives you a fancy Web 2.0 solution for this problem. Simply place modules in to a nice sliding side bar on your Joomla! website.
You can place any module in to this sliding sidebar and you can set your own theme / style. mfSlideBar is very flexible and comes in sliding from the left or the right of the page.
Want to have a nice Web 2.0 sliding sidebar showing your modules on your website? mfSlideBar is your solution. |
mfSlideBar works with Prototype.js.
Demo (movie)
In this demo, I'm showing the "simple" and "light" theme, loading different module positions. Sorry for the bad demo, but I hope you get the idea.

How to use
mfSlideBar allows you to add a nice sliding sidebar to your Joomla! website.
Setup
Publish this module on any position. Set the module position it should load and other paramaters and you're ready to go.
Never use the same module position as it's loaded in. For example, when you placed mfSlideBar in position "left", do not load other modules from position "left". Otherwise you'll create an infinate loop & your website will crash.
Change the "Image width" to the width of the original image in px when placing mfSlideBar on the right, otherwise it will not show up properly in every web browser.
This module is best viewed when "Show title" is set to "No".
Themes
mfSlideBar comes default with three themes: dark, light & simple. They look like this:
To create your own theme, add them in hem in the following directory:
modules/mod_mfslidebar/templates/
Now create a directory starting with your theme name and if it's placed on the left or right. Seperate those with a "-" symbol. Add your own "slide-button.gif" and "slide-button-active.gif" that fits your template. Place your template in your module parameters and you're done.
Example:
modules/mod_mfslidebar/templates/newTemplate-right/
Don't forget to publish this module!
