Content from Virtuemart, K2, DJ-Catalog2, DJ-Classifieds can be promoted on Modern Slider or Slider layout where more than one item can be visible at a time.
Below the Sport News album is presented on different album layouts. Album source is set to Joomla Articles, so it fetches the items from the chosen article category automatically. It means that there's no need to create custom items for each article and album is updated with new content without any action from your side. It's also possible to fetch only featured articles what gives you powerfull tool for content presentation.
