JV-Relatives improves Joomla SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for your website, increases the time the user spends in your website, and decreases user bounce rate for articles. As your visitors complete reading the article, they are presented with links to articles that are related to the one that is displayed!

B2J Alfheim Image Gallery PRO

26 December 2012
Published in Extensions
B2J Alfheim Image Gallery PRO is a fully responsive  module, which  takes the power of the LITE version, with some attractive additions.

With this module you not only have a tight control over the flow of images filtered by K2 tags, K2 Categories, Joomla Folder, but also can choose  additional options controlling how images appear to the viewer. This module is fully functional with Joomla versions 2.5/3.0. 

Note, that images displaying with module can be cropped and resized, with or without aspect ratio. The module comes default with jquery-plugin enabled, but this feature can be disabled in the back-end.

B2J Alfheim Image Gallery PRO inherits the following popular features from the LITE version:

• Image Source: K2 Categories, K2 Tags, Joomla Folder
• Thumbnails setting
• Slider settings
• Item parts ordering, etc

Administrators also have the additional option to choose the way the module displays the image tags - either with Tag Cloud or Tag Slider. Images can also be shared to the major social networking sites. 

What makes this module PRO absolutely stunning is how the images appear to the user! On image click, it opens the original image in a light box with all thumbnails beneath it. They take the appearance of a bunch of photos allowing you to flip or swipe through them as you would do in real life.

The flipping effect looks can be used on all devices, with amazing effects on touchscreens.This is all you ever wanted in an Image Gallery module!  

If you have encountered problems with B2J Alfheim Image Gallery PRO, feel free to submit a ticket or to ask your questions  on B2J Forum.

Whizzy Tags for K2

Whizzy Tags for K2

23 November 2011
Published in Extensions
Whizzy Tags for K2 articles is based on the popular Joomulus for K2 module by JoomlaBear. It creates a jquery-driven tag cloud based on tags from a selected K2 category, which also allows you to specify the link, weight and colour of the tags.

Note this extension does not use flash, and it currently only allows the selection of ONE CATEGORY.

It also creates a search engine friendly list of tags, which is displayed in the event that jquery is not available in the browser.

If you're using Joomla! articles, please check out our Joomla! articles version which you'll find under the category of Search & Indexing>Tags & Clouds on the JED. More
