SlideshowEx is an advanced Slideshow widget for Yootheme Widgetkit2. After installation it becomes available in the Widgets list as a "native" widget and can be used as any other widget.
Notice about Widgetkit 3 and status of this project: Yootheme announced a third version of Widgetkit on January 26th, 2021. I received reports that after upgrade to Widgetkit 3 my widgets do not work properly. I'm very sorry that I currently not able to devote my time to this project to develop it further. In its current state it's "bug free" and works with Widgetkit 2 and Joomla 3. Currently, I don't have plans to add support for Widgetkit 3 or add any other serious improvements. This project has been my pet project that I was doing in my free time, and I've been happy to share it for free with the community. As I stopped using Widgetkit in my own websites, I lost motivation in further updates to this project. I'm happy if my work and widgets were of any help or use in your websites!
