Hot Spinner - Joomla 3D Image Rotator

Hot Spinner is Joomla module that rotates images around a circle in 3D. In the center of the circle, there's an info box that shows relevant content for each image in the rotation. You can also control rotation with mouse moves. This Flash-like software is 100% based on jQuery (no Flash needed).

Parameters of this module allow you to set overall width and height and make the module fit into your available space. You can also control rotation radius and perspective angle. You can select the vertical position of the info box and select one of three available animation effects for the box. The rotation speed parameter of the icons/images is also customizable. You can enable reflection of the images and control its height and opacity. Fonts of the info box are customizable, so you can easily select font for the headings and font for the info box text. You can also change the font's color and style. In the info box, there's also an image beside text that can be left or right-aligned.

You can enter content for the module into ten available "content slots". Each slot allows you to select rotating and static images. The rotating image is one that rotates, while the static image is the image that appears in the info box. For each slot, you can have different headings and text. You can also assign links to the heading of the slots.

Module Settings

• Image Encoding: Select whether to encode images or not.
• Module Width/Height: Enter module width/height in pixels (in example 960).
• Background Color: Module's background color
• Images Directory: Path to your folder with images (relative to your Joomla path). This option is not needed in Joomla 1.6, so it's removed in this version.
• Static Image Width: Enter value in pixels (in example 60).
• Static Image Position: Select image position left or right.
• Rotating Image Width/Height: Enter value in pixels (in example 120).
• Info Box Width/Height: Enter value in pixels (in example 380).
• Info Box Vertical Position: Enter info box vertical position in percents (in example 60). Value can be from 0 to 100. If you enter 0, the bottom side of the info box will be even with the top side of the module space. If you enter 100, the bottom side of the info box will be even with the bottom side of the module space.
• Info Box Animation: Select between slide, up-down and fade.
• Info Box Animation Speed: Enter animation speed in milliseconds (in example 600).
• Rotation Speed: Enter rotation speed in 1/X radians. The minimum value is 1 (in example 18). Lower value = faster rotation. To decrease rotation speed, enter a higher value.
• Rotation Direction: Select clockwise or counter-clockwise.
• Rotation Radius: Enter distance from the center of the circle to the rotating images, in pixels (in example 350).
• Perspective Angle: Perspective angle value is between 0 and 1. If you set 0, you will see rotation as if you are on the ground level. If you set 1, you will see a rotation from the birds-eye view. Any decimal value between 0 and 1 is possible, in example 0.1.
• Stop Rotation on Double-Click: Enable or disable this feature.
• Reflection: Enable or disable reflection of images.
• Reflection Height: Enter reflection height (value between 0 and 1): 0 = no reflection, 1 = full height.
• Reflection Opacity: Enter reflection opacity: minimum value is 1 for no opacity, higher value gives more opacity to the rotating images.
