Frequently Asked Questions
Modern 2026 UI, vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery), slides subform, horizontal/vertical layouts, search, category filters, deep links with Copy Link, autoplay, remember active tab, Joomla 5 services structure, and native Download ID (DLID) support.
No. Version 2.7 uses vanilla JavaScript loaded through Joomla’s WebAssetManager.
Yes. Set Content Source to Slides and manage tabs in the repeatable subform (title, content, icon, badge, category, and active state).
Use Joomla’s built-in Download ID / Download Key for extension updates. There is no custom license key field inside the module.
Turn on URL Anchors so each tab gets a shareable hash like #jx-ft-{moduleId}-{n}. Copy Link copies that URL so visitors open the same tab directly.
Yes. On tablets and phones the tab bar becomes a swipeable strip with large touch targets, hidden scrollbars, and the active tab keeps itself in view. Vertical layouts stack the same way on smaller screens.
Modern 2026 (default), Default, Minimal, Outline, Dark, Rounded, and Gradient. You can also set a Theme Color and optional Theme CSS Override.
Joomla 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. PHP 8.1+ is recommended.
