Featured Content Pro 1.2.7

Top rated mod, top rated support.

Thank you @onlyME

Upgrade from the 4.x version does not work.

****** I just gave this guy a 6, but he even deserves more, why becasue he is a prime example how do you run your support. Sometimes I feel sorry for him as he is well known guy but he never refuse to help, no matter how much you f*** up, like I did few times. He would always jump in and fix things and for that I am forever loyal customer and supporter. I just wish I have more $ so I can simply give it to him. 

But not only his support is great, his plugins are pure awesomnes especially in conbination. Amazing fella, amaizing creator and I wish all the best to him in future. RESPECT

Great slider and even better tech support. I highly recommend it.

Thanks onlyMe

Great plugin, but have some problems with sorting. When i change slides order at Customisation page using drag n drop, plugin doesn't show the latest slides in the slider.

And yes, i tried different settings in admin cp.

Very happy with this plug-in and my users like it too.

I would like to see an option to have the pictures maintain their aspect ratio. 

I would like to share my expreience with @onlyME. I purchased this application after playing with the demo for a day while at the same time corresponding through PM's. After I purchased it, I had some configuration issues with my server that onlyMe was happy to help with. A few PM's later and I am up and running. Not only is the support for this app excellent, but the app itself has so much flexability and customization that it should cost way more. And I for one would be happy to pay it. If you are thinking about purchasing the Featured Content app, do it. You will be glad you did.

Very glad of this plugin / app which easily allows to create sliders.

Before purchasing Featured Content, I worked on an specific homepage with a custom slider (bootstrap) but it forced me to edit its code. With FC, I can create a new slider and add it on a page featuring a database and keeping it on specific pages (for instance, the slider will appear on the "homepage" and not on categories and articles).

Also, I prefered to show one single slide at a time so I set it this way very easily and create my slides consequently. Moreover, you can upload them by FTP and keep them in a specific folder - which is useful if you use generic slides from time to times - or directly upload them from front end without any FTP access. This is very useful for me : before, I used a custom slider with HTML and so you add to modify a specific block or file and upload the images by FTP... so you needed admin and FTP access. Now, I can let more people create slides without compromising about security.

The only improvements I could see:

• Maybe add a crop fonction for mobile (in my case, showing one panoramic slide will make it very thin on mobile)... But FC is designed to show several slides (which solves this issue on mobile).
• I missed play/pause fonctions... and it appeared in the new version. It is just sad that it cannot be implemented over the slides and just show Play or Pause - not both as actually. Also, I would add a "timer" around the pause button or at its left - giving an impression of showing time remaining. (I used Orbit Slider a few years back and I loved this feature.)
• Since I'm talking about personnalisation, I would love to have more flexibility within captions => center/middle ? titles ? Currently, I do it as I want with Photoshop and keep actual captions to add a bit of text.
• Since Play/Pause could be in the corner (top right) of the slides, I may add an option to show pagination on the slides. For instance, we could image a kind of "tab" using the background color of the page or any desired with/without transparency and choose its position.

That being said, FC is an awesome plugin and allows me to very simply manage beautiful sliders where needed : on the homepage (big news, contests...) and at our tutorials' root (new ones, informations...). It's efficient and classy ! :-)

I would totally recommand this plugin and thank its maker for his great work !!!

It's perfect for the community frontpage!!!

Good plugin and the dev is very helpful. I asked how I could achieve a certain style and he responded within a day. 

I love the options and flexibility that this holds, its a must have add if you like displaying content in this manner.
