Simple Joomla Module to slide in any content.
Adjustable width, height, transparency, timing & more. DOM Scripting.

Readon for instructions. 

New set of instruction: (Thanks goes to David Taylor and Ed Miller)

Please read these Instructions carefully.

1) Backend > Modules > Site Modules: publish mod_floater to any existing module position(NOT floater!).
Example: "user5" - it doesn't matter where you publish mod_floater since the floating box will float in a layer above your content. This module position must be published and exist in your Joomla template HTML.

Optional: For easier identification - create a new Module position(see Step 2), let's call it floatright for example - add this new position to your Joomla template HTML. Now assign mod_floater to this position.

2) Go to Control Panel > Site > Template Manager >Module Position and create a module position floater. You don't have to add this position to your Joomla template HTML. However, do assign the module to appear on any pages you wish the float box to appear on.

3) Publish ANY module to the new floater position and it will float in from the left. A possible module would be Newsflash or the optional Content Item Module.

4) Do NOT publish mod_floater in the floater position. It will stop the page loading.

5) Test Module. Adjust size, floating speed and all the other parameters as desired.
