Ninja Super sIFR allows you to quickly and easily put stylish fonts on your site without the need for images.

it uses an advanced flash technique called sIFR to convert text on the fly into new fonts and colors, and even to add special effects like drop shadows to the text.

This will allow you give your site a much more interesting and attractive appearance without having to individually create images for every heading on your site.

Ninja Super sIFR's is a significant improvement upon our earlier sIFR extension and it's  advanced component interface makes uploading and using new fonts a breeze, and with the majority of the parameters being driven by lists or buttons, creating font instances is just as easy.

Now with over 25 parameters for controlling the font appearance, Ninja Super sIFR is far and away the leading sIFR solution for Joomla.

Super sIFR Ships with the following fonts:

  • Abuse
  • Andley's Hand Regular
  • Arial Rounded
  • Baby Kruffy
  • Blade2
  • Brushscript
  • Crayon
  • Gungsuh
  • Thug
  • Weltron Urban
Please Note: Ninja Super sIFR 1.1.3+ uses the latest version of sIFR3 whereas previous versions and our other sIFR modules and plugins use an earlier version. As a result previously generated sIFR fonts which work with our other sIFR extensions are NOT compatible with Super sIFR 1.1.3. You will need to generate them again.

Basic Setup

Ninja Super sIFR is simple to install and setup:

  • Install the component and the mambot (both are required)
  • Install any sIFRed fonts (.swf files) that you want, or use the ones contained in the package.
  • Create any sIFR instances you need. You can only choose one font per instance, but any number of CSS selectors.
  • Ensure you select the display parameters correctly so that your font's get loaded on the right pages.
  • Start enjoying your beautiful new site!

That's it for installation and configuration.

Most people will only use the CSS selectors, font, size, color and drop shadow preferences. This is fine. Not all paremeters are required and they will be ignored in the processing if left blank or set to default.

Advanced Usage instructions and Tips

How do I convert a normal font into a sIFR font?
The best place to learn how to do this is the site of the sIFR wiki at novemberborn.net. We have included the flash source file in the 'flash source' directory for your convenience.
How do I convert a font into a sIFR font if I don't have the Flash 8 editor or higher?
We are willing to convert fonts for paid Ninja Forge members on request (within reason). Just make sure you give us a couple of days. You can either ask on the forum, with a link to your font, or attach it to the post. Or email us at support(at)ninjaforge.com with the font attached. IF we can share the font aferwards, the sevice is free. If you want it private for yourself, then we charge $5 for the conversion.

Trouble Shooting FAQ

My sIFR fonts don't change.
Check that you set the Display Location Preferences correctly, then make sure the plugin is published. Faling this check for other flash installed on your site which may (rarely) sometimes conflict with sIFR
My links are an ugly blue.
Make sure you check the box 'Will there be any links in this selector?' if there are links you want to sIFR. If you do not check this then you will get the default blue link color.
An image/flash object/video on my page dissapeared.
The sIFR code literally replaces the entire text objects with a flash object. If you have anything other than text inside your sIFRed HTML tags, then they will usually be removed. This can't be avoided for the sIFR to work. Please move the items outside of the tags you want to sIFR
