joomLab Article Slider 1.1.0 adds AJAX content filtering
joomLab has released Article Slider 1.1.0, adding AJAX filtering by categories and tags to a Joomla module that displays articles in a responsive slideshow. The update allows filtering to take place within any module instance on a page…
Article Slider loads its content dynamically through AJAX. This approach is intended for pages that contain many content modules, particularly when each module displays a large number of articles. By loading article data dynamically, the module can help limit the amount of content loaded with the initial page.
In version 1.1.0, site visitors can filter the articles shown in a module by one or more Joomla categories and/or tags. The filtering is also handled through AJAX, so the displayed content can be updated without a full page reload.
The results are presented as a responsive slideshow using swiper.js. The new filtering capability applies to any Article Slider module on the page, according to the release announcement.
