This very powerful module, allow you to nclude all Google features like Zoom Level, Zoom Controls, Map Type and minimap are fully controlled through the YOOmaps module configuration. There is even a small box that you can enter from address to get direction to the destinaton pin, and the direction output is right underneath the map on the same page. No more lost visitors because you had to send them to a seperate site for directions. For more information, check out: YOOtools YOOmaps. YOOsnapshotsYOOsnapshots is a lightweight module that integrates the features provided by snap.com into your Joomla site by generating high quality link previews for your visitors to create an informative and sticky experience for your visitors. You can set YOOsnapshots to be on by default on all links automatically; there is also a class option to turn the snapshot feauture on or off on an individual link (snap_shots and _snap_noshots) which will override the default settings. For more information, check out: YOOtools YOOsnapshots. YOOtoppanelNow this is a really nifty module that allow you to have a cleverly hidden module, commonly placed at the top of your template, and by clicking on the "Top Panel" button, it smoothly slides down, and to hide the Top Panel, you just click on the "Close" button in the upper right hand corner or hit the "Top Panel" button again. This "hidden" module is a great place to put the login/registration module or include legal information or anything else you desire. With the "loadposition" Joomla plugin you can easily display another module inside the toppanel article. For more information, check out: YOOtools YOOtoppanel. YOOscrollerYOOscroller allows you to display images to your visitors in a really easy way by showing a category in a scrollbar that scrolls through the articles. Like most, if not all YOOtools, the articles can include any kind of HTML formatted content like text, images and flash and you can even include plugins in the articles by using "loadposition". The YOOtools YOOscroller module comes with a lot of different styles, and they of course work flawlessly in both YOOtheme templates and any other template.
