Wow? by Mackelito, April 30, 2008
I needed this module for a site but found a bug so I reported it in the forum... fixed almost instantly and thats not all.. Made 2 feature requests (exclude sections and category's) and they implemented then within 2 hours!!!

Nothing left to say but "wow" :)


Just what I needed by deafbiz, April 7, 2008

I was using another module for a long time but my client wanted something that the reader could control the flow of the news. I knew I had to look for a module that will only display the news of just one module. I found it from the forum, installed it and played around with it to find the right category or section.

Took me about 5 minutes top to configure it and now it's running great.

One quibble: If a web visitor clicked on the number below, then the news ticker stops and doesn't restart until the page reload. It's a small thing but would be nice if there's a certain time out and then the newsticker will restart without having to reload the page.

Also, I tried with W3C validation and there's an error code so I hope this can be updated with W3C corrections.

But all in all, a great tool!


Owner's reply:
thank you, deafbiz!



I have found the small W3C invalidation cause and updated the current version

Love it. by andimorton, March 31, 2008
Easy to use. Very cool. Would like to see it as a 'related items' module too! :-)


Filtered News Module is superb! by HellasHaggis, March 18, 2008
Very easy to install, configure and ENJOY, especially for a rookie such as myself.

Excellent support for any questions you may have and the features in the module are great.

Thank you JV!
Best wishes,
HH


Fantastic module! by A1ex, March 18, 2008
This module displays news (mostread/latest/popular/...) in a way that fits everyone's needs. On a frontpage, it groups them into sections (or categories) and allows them to be organized into specific number of columns and rows. "replace text with category image" is an excellent option that gives a much nicer look to the module itself. On section/category pages, it will filter news based on appropriate section, and displays news from that particular section in a similar way described above.

I'm very glad that developer responded immediately to every request I had about this module, and it's really nice to see such dedication to make this better. With scrolling and sliding functions added lately, I think this could be the one of the most usable module I've tried.

Excellent work, Mr. Vargas. You did a top notch job!

What a fantastic little module. Well several mods... Download and play around with them to get your head around them.

I added three variations to the bottom of my pages, recently added to section, most pop in section and most pop in category. Love it!

Thanks.

Jeff
