jQuery Thumbnail Scroller

What can jQuery Thumbnail Scroller do for you?

Built for real Joomla sites

The jQuery Thumbnail Scroller showcases images in a sleek, responsive horizontal scrolling format with customizable thumbnails and dynamic effects.

Native JavaScript · No jQuery

The Rail, Rebuilt

Same trusted product name, modern engine
Version 1.7 removes jQuery, jQuery UI, easing scripts, and legacy Fancybox for a smaller, cleaner Joomla gallery.

Joomla-native delivery
Service provider, dispatcher, namespaces, and Web Asset Manager keep the module ready for Joomla 4, 5, and 6.

Clean · Cards · Filmstrip · Editorial

Four Ways to Present

Fit the story, not one fixed template
Run a quiet portfolio strip, useful caption cards, a cinematic reel, or an asymmetric editorial rail.

Five colour moods
Light, Dark, Soft Sand, Ink, and Forest themes give every layout a ready-made identity.

Arrow · Wheel · Drag · Swipe · Keys

Browse Every Way

Natural on every device
Click arrows, roll the mouse wheel, drag with a pointer, swipe on touch, or use the keyboard.

Horizontal or vertical
Build a wide gallery strip or a compact vertical showcase for sidebars and editorial layouts.

Zoom · Fade · Slide

A Lightbox Included

Open the full image without another plugin
The native modal viewer includes previous/next controls, image count, captions, Escape close, and an optional download action.

Accessible by design
Focus is trapped inside the dialog and returned to the opening thumbnail when it closes.

Folder · Custom Items

Images Your Way

Publish a folder in seconds
Point to an image directory, sort A–Z/Z–A/random, limit the total, and generate labels from filenames.

Curate when details matter
Custom items add a dedicated thumbnail, title, caption, alt text, and optional link.

Autoplay · Pause · Loop

Motion with Manners

Set the gallery pace
Choose item or page steps, autoplay delay, looping, and pause on hover or keyboard focus.

Respect visitor preferences
Reduced-motion users get immediate scrolling and no automatic movement.

Desktop · Mobile · Lazy Load

Responsive by Default

Right-sized rails
Set desktop and mobile thumbnail widths, height, gap, radius, fit mode, and accent colour.

Fast long galleries
Later thumbnails lazy-load while generated cache images keep the rail compact.

Legacy-Aware 1.7

Upgrade without Starting Over

Your image folder carries forward
Version 1.7 remaps legacy folder, thumbnail-height, and autoplay parameters while retiring obsolete easing and Fancybox controls.

Designed to keep selling
Modern demos, focused use cases, language files, docs, and a clean install package complete the release.

Have questions about jQuery Thumbnail Scroller?

Frequently asked questions

Does version 1.7 still require jQuery?

No. The product name is retained for marketplace continuity, but version 1.7 uses native JavaScript and does not load jQuery, jQuery UI, an easing plugin, or Fancybox.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6. PHP 8.1 or newer is recommended.

Can I load every image from a folder?

Yes. Select From Folder, enter a path such as images/portfolio, then choose sorting and an optional image limit.

Can each image have its own caption and alt text?

Yes. Select Custom Items to set the image, optional thumbnail, title, caption, alternative text, and link for every item.

What layouts are included?

Clean Strip, Caption Cards, Filmstrip, and Editorial. Each works with Light, Dark, Soft Sand, Ink, and Forest themes.

Does it support vertical galleries?

Yes. Set Orientation to Vertical. Arrow keys switch to Up/Down automatically and wheel/drag movement follows the vertical axis.

Is a separate lightbox plugin needed?

No. Version 1.7 includes an accessible lightbox with Zoom, Fade, Slide Up, or no opening effect. Captions and an optional download button are configurable.

What happens to old module settings after upgrading?

The old folder path, thumbnail height, and autoplay state are remapped. Obsolete jQuery easing, acceleration, and Fancybox settings are removed. Open and save the module after upgrading to review the new options.

How does the module handle accessibility?

It includes labelled controls, visible focus states, keyboard navigation, an accessible modal dialog with focus trapping, Escape close, meaningful alt text support, and reduced-motion handling.
