·
mrfelton - April 1, 2008 - 19:16

The Rotor Banner module allows you to create blocks with 'rotating' content. This can be very useful for advertising or highlighting information.

  • Multiple rotor blocks (version 6.2)
  • Per rotor block configuration (version 6.2)
  • Ability to rotate through any content, not just Rotor Items
  • Dedicated 'Rotor Item' content type for easy setup
  • Clickable Rotor tabs
  • Configurable tab position (version 6.x)
  • 25 transition effects (fade, shuffle, zoom, scroll etc.)
  • Pause on hover
  • Random node selection
  • imagecache support
  • nodequeue support

Requirements

Drupal 5: jquery_update, jquery_plugin
You must also manually add the jquery.cycle.min.js file to your jquery_plugin module directory because of #328641: The file jquery.cycle.min.js is missing from the project. (you can find the jquery.cycle.min.js file in the Drupal 6 version of jquery_plugin)

Drupal 6: jquery_plugin, upload_element, views

Advice

JavaScript animations can be very CPU intensive. For best performance, keep your animations short (preferably under a second), and in infrequent (every 5 seconds at least).
Performance will be improved by installing jquery_update 6.x-2.x which includes jquery 1.3.x..

You may wish to read this great comparison of rotator / slider modules (although this module is not actually listed there yet).
