Image Show GK4: Inflexible and no longer useful

After days(!) of trying to modify the Image Show GK4 module in a simple Frontpage Slideshow with the thumbnails below the main warpper and a horizontal sliding function, I give up!

Sorry, but, in my opinion, the Image Show GK4 module is a big bunch of crap!

Because the styles are now bound to the templates, there is no more possibility for individual modifications.
The support seemed not to get along with the task so I have now unfortunately looking for a module from another vendor!

A request for the future: Published a style, you can customize with all the possibilities of the old Photoslideshow GK3 Module

Hi

Your request has already been completed Most probably the You are using a module version for joomla 1.5, the newest version for 1.7 got styles from our templates included in standard.

you dont understand me
how can i use the J1.5 Module when i have a J1.7-Site?
Please think about!!!

i have try days(!) to modify the 1.7 module! but this is not possible! my wish is, a standard style-without the template-bounding

...or the possibility to use old styles

There is no way to use extensions created for Joomla 1.5 in 1.7 version.

Image Show GK4 is only of any use if you want static link to articles / menu items. I always drop this from any Gavick templates and use one of the many 3rd party modules which can auto source K2 or com_content...I think Image Show GK4 should be incorporated into New Show Pro giving the option for dynamic or static links

Thanks-but i know that!

I mean (the hole time) Image Show GK4! This module works only in 1.7!

Fred I don't know what Rock you've been spending your time under but IS is a wonderful and flexible tool that I wouldn't do a site without, and I do a hell of a lot of them.. 10 - 20 a month.

1. With the ability to use other template styles I can mix and match any combination that you could EVER imagine, including the concept that you've been trying to do.

2. It's been updated regularly, I don't know who the hell they got coding for IS now but he, she, (they) kicking ass, and I know good coding when I see it.

3 There is a tradeoff when it comes to flexibility, the more flexible a module is, the harder modules are to configure and work with. If you want a " Nooby Module with everything lined out for you.. IS may not be it. But as a professional I can't be limited to just joomla and K2. IS has the flexibility to include anything I want to link those images to. Sobi, Virtumart, Redshop, Jomsocial, Facebook, Another Site, anything I want.

4. If you know CSS, IS is amazing, They separated the code from the CSS, a lot of modules code get in the damned way when your trying to style the module, not IS. The designer of IS was obviously aware of that issue and created a wonderful balance of power, function, edit-ability, and flexibility.

IS is not your problem bro.
