Been searching for a component that does exactla that - now I can display on the front page the news from content items exactly as I want. And is free... BRAVO Boris ;-)

Great Effort thanks to you very much.

I hope joomla makes it an official module.
It has all the options i wanted
display sytle (vertical, Horizontal , List)
Tool tips
Can display whatever you want by the format string (Author,Date,Intro , Full Text) with the format you want

Excellent Work

Instant installation, lots of options, well explained. Able to define custom CSS, thank you thank you thank you.

Very nice to display articles in the front page with a lot of useful options. Very good work!

This installed easy and has many options that i would usually expect to pay for. Easy to tweak apart from one issue...
link category will not work without section category enabled. I dont want to link section. Maybe a bug, maybe my buggerup. Even so, powerful enough for most users i think.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed to create menu items that would display the title and intro text of a content item, with the title linking to the content. With a passing familiarity with PHP and CSS and some patience for experimentation with the format string, this is fairly easy to achieve with this module.

A nice bonus...the module can be used multiple times on the same page. Here's how:
1. Extract all the files in the archive
2. Do a search/replace on the text in each file - replace 'dn' with 'dn1' (or 'dn2', or 'dn3'...depending on the number of times you install it)
3. Rename any filename that contains the string 'dn' to 'dn{X}', as in the previous step
4. Rezip the files (following the same structure as the original archive)
5. Install the archive through Joomla

Cons - I wish it wouldn't strip out the HTML tags of the content by default. This can be prevented by editing Line #55 of mod_dn.php:

Change '$text = strip_tags($text);'
to '//$text = strip_tags($text);'

Also, I don't know why it has its own CSS.

All in all though, no major complaints. : ) Thanks for a great mod!

I'd been looking for a scrolling new module for some time and then I found this one and it's brilliant, loads of config options and I had it working within a few minutes. Sadly there seems to be one problem that occurs when you view my site using IE as all the items scroll across together one under the other and I don't know if there is a way round it.

Pros: Superb module as long as site visitors use Firefox or Netscape

Cons: Internet Explorer doesn't seem to want to work with it

I guess I will just advise site visitors to get Firefox as this module is too good NOT to use!!!

To be honest, im surprised it took me as long as it did to find a module that does exactly what i need... this is perfect and very handy, very modifiable etc...

It should be a default module that comes with installation!

There is a slight bug in mod_dn.php. You have to change the code :

[/ Mambelfish Support
if( $mosConfig_mbf_content ) {

into

// Mambelfish Support
if( $mosConfig_jf_content ) {

I cannot work this module with joomfish installed site. But in standard joomla installation, there is no problem...

Tons of options. Don't let the CSS comments scare you, you can style this module easily if you know CSS.

To use with the mbt_shopping template in the left column I had to edit the module slightly. The body of the module was displaying off-center to the right in comparison to the other modules. I had to change line 761 from:

echo '';

to

echo '';

The module then displayed in-line with the other modules in the left column. Other then this slight issue it has worked great!

Nice module, the only thing I miss are more module-specific css-styletags.

Very useful module, lot if features, using it on my website

I have been looking for something like this for a while now. This is probably the swiss army knife of modules as far as customization goes. Maybe the best yet to display content in a module position with scrolling controls and sized module area. More than the standard features of many other all-in-one modules I have tried. They are all good but this one is great!
