YOOtools Modules 1/2

YOOaccordion

The YOOaccordion module displays a collection of articles and creates a virtual accordion effect with smooth sliding when selecting an article.

All articles can display HMTL formated content like text/images/flash and you can even use the "loadposition" plugin to display another module inside an article.

It slides the entire page as you open and close the different tabs, working in an "accordion" way, hence the name.

For more information check out: YOOtools YOOaccordion.

YOOcarousel

The YOOcarousel module is a very flexible module for Joomla.  It shows a category of articles, creates a slide or fade transition when cycling through the articles.

It is allows you cycle through content automatically, only once or off; in off position, the reader needs to click or hover over the tabs to change the content.

You can easily just fade or scroll images or text without any tabs, or you can set up an interactive informational box with tabs set in a list styling.

The YOOcarousel comes with a lot of different styles.  All styles work out of the box and can be used with any YOOtheme template or any other template for that matter, so it is very easy to integrate in your current web site.

For more information, check out: YOOtools YOOcarousel.

YOOdrawer

YooDrawer slides 'drawers' up and down (vertically) when you hover over an item with your mouse. 

When it slides up and down it will expand the current drawer and shrink the other drawers.  Each YOOdrawer uses an article to display its content and all articles can display any kind of HTML formatted content like text, images or flash and you can even use the "loadposition" Joomla plugin to display another module inside of an article.

It is a very easy way to display the intro of articles in a limited space, the module is a fixed height and will not scroll the rest of the page unlike YOOaccordion.

For more information, check out: YOOtools YOOdrawer.

YOOlogin

YOOlogin is an enhanced version of the default Joomla login module.  It comes with several different stylings and enables you to use icon buttons instead of the default "Lost password" link.

There are a total of 14 parameters which makes this a pretty flexible module and it looks better than the stock login box.
