Google Maps Module

The most popular online maps service today is certainly Google Maps. This service covers the entire globe. Allmost all places and addresses throughout the world are included in this giant online world map. Modern websites often use free maps from Google to show where the company is located or how to find the company's offices. Travel websites can use maps to show destinations they offer for vacation trips.

Hot Maps module has been created to allow webmasters to include any map from Google Maps inside Joomla website. Once you install the module and publish it in appropriate module positions, you should enter location that should be displayed (in example "Copacabana beach Brazil") and set dimensions (width and height) of the map. That's it. Your map is ready! There's not need to register or copy any code.

In addition, you can include pre-text and post-text (HTML allowed) that will be displayed above and below the map. Also, you can include link to the full map (hosted on Google). Finally, you can select whether to show graphical map or satellite image of the location.

Google Maps Plugin

Installation of the plugin is straightforward and should be done through Joomla Extensions Manager (Extensions > Install/Uninstall). After installation, you should go to the Plugin Manager (Extensions > Plugin Manager) to publish the plugin. Now you are ready to start using the plugin in Joomla content pages.

You probably already know that number of users of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices with touch screens is growing daily. As a result, we may expect more and more people who are accessing our web sites equipped with touch screens rather then mouses and keyboards. Hot Swipe Carousel rotates slides that may contain any HTML content (images, text, etc.) and it allows users to change slides by dragging them on the screen to the left or to the right.

This module allows you to create up to 20 slides. It's possible to use multiple instances of this module on the same page. As you can see, we are using it twice on the home page of Hot Startup template demo. It's used for the main carousel on the top and for the testimonials carousel on the bottom area.

You can still determine the size of the thumbnails, but the number of thumbnails per row now depends of the available screen space. The lightbox slideshow (pop-up) of this module is responsive as well and it won't show anything out of the screen boundaries. The width of the big image is now no more than the overall screen space.

Hot Counters module is developed specially for the needs of Hot Startup template. However, you can use it in combination with any other template as we released it as a standalone module for Joomla. You probably noticed on many modern websites (especially on portfolio and corporate websites) several numbers that gives some facts about the company to the visitors. These numbers usually represent number of projects accomplished, number of clients, partners, store locations, etc.

Using this module, you can add such block on your website easily. All you need to do is to enter numbers and what the numbers represent in form of text and/or image in the module parameters.

This module is powered by jQuery, so it doesn't just show the numbers, but also count up to the final value. It's possible to tweak the speed of the animation for each number. Furthermore, it will not start counting until user see the numbers. It's useful if you are using this module on the bottom of the page. This ensures that animation will start at the time when visitor sees the counters, and not immediately after page loading is done.

All buyers of this template will get Hot Counters module for FREE (regular price is $15).
