I was looking for an alternative to the Joomla native article display. This module does it perfectly. 5 stars.

I am displaying this module in an article, so what you see is the title of the article, and the first x amount of characters from each article (configurable in the module) - see here: http://www.consultthestars.com/component/content/article/61

Installed without any issues, and perfect config options for the mod. Well done. Great niche product.

This module is perfect. I can control the amount of text to display in the module which was very important for me, this module did just that.

Very simple and easy to setup.
To the Developer, a BIG Thank you!!

Yes, this is a good plugin, so easy to setup, the required features for this type of module are there.


Thank you, maybe a bit of AJAX or something would be nice for you future release.

I don't understand why your extension is called "featured items", no one have a category where all featured items are. It doesn't make any sense at all, without choosing article id's what's the purpose ? It's obvious for everyone that when you say "featured items" it means that you SELECT the most featured articles from all categories, or just featured items from one category and not a category. I decide what articles are featured, based on my criteria so I must be able to choose different articles from different categories, else it's just like any other module. There are other modules like this but I simply cannot understand why this nonsense it's still in all this modules, featured items cannot be hold in a category or section, I must be able to choose individual articles.
If you do that then this extension will be very very useful, now it's just an extension.There is another extension called "Featured articles", it's a very popular one, you are able to choose individual articles but it lacks the features of the extension you developed, it only list articles, no preview, thumbnail..So if you add the posibility to choose individual articles from different categories this extension will be popular.
I don't want to offend you it's just that everyone seems to follow the same pattern when it comes for certain modules but it isn't the right choice.
