We are witnesses of the flood of responsive web sites. Those sites are made to be useful on all kinds of devices, from desktop computers to mobile phones. It's not enough to have only a responsive template. If you are about to use modules on the responsive website, those modules should be responsive as well. Hot Film Tape is responsive Joomla module because it supports the responsive websites. This module automatically resizes itself to fit the available screen space as well as possible.
So, what Hot Film Tape does, and what's its purpose for your site? Let's explain that in several sentences. This is an endless carousel that scroll slides from right to left. You can have an unlimited number of slides, enable and disable them, and reorder them easily. Each slot can contain any HTML content that you enter using a WYSIWYG editor (such as JCE or TinyMCE) or using a plain text editor (if you are familiar with HTML). Therefore, each slot can contain anything you can think of. You can put text, images, YouTube movies, or anything else inside the slides. You can even make a combination, for example, the first slot with text, the second with images, the third with a movie, and the fourth with text and images. The content of the Hot Film Tape is completely up to you.
In this example, the module's container has a width set to 100%, so it occupies the full screen. If you are using this module with another template, ensure the container where you put the module has similar settings. But it's not necessary because this module can occupy only a part of your site's space. Another feature makes this module very flexible.
Please spend some time experimenting with Hot Film Tape. You can also have multiple instances of the module on screen, just make sure that you entered different unique IDs in the parameters.
