I think the Article Thumbnails Module is ALMOST excellent, for this reason:

I modified css of the module (at.css) with 5 styles for the titles and introduction text, I instaled the module in my site and I copied it ten times, for different topics on the front page of my site. I was happy for the results... in my local server (on my pc), it is functioning excellent.

But when I uploaded my site to the web (on a commercial hosting), everything is ok but there is a problem with the Article Thumbnails Module:

When I create a new article, I write the ID of the new article (in the "Item ID" option in the module form, in the administration panel of my site), and then the article doesn't appears, I can't see it in the front page, but it appears later, after some hours!

Curiously, if I write an "item id" of an old article, the article appears inmediatly in the front page. But my new articles doesn't appears in the front page, after six or more hours!

My site is a news site and I need to change several times every day the ID items of the Article Thumbnails Module.

The module I'm using is 2.07 version and I am using Joomla 1.0.13 spanish premium.

That is the reason I think this module is ALMOST excellent.

For a long time I was searching for a module like this, to put the date in the language that I wish, in Spanish in my case.

To adjust the time for your needs, you have to select your local time in the option Time Offset (Locale, Global Configuration, in the Joomla Administrator of your site). Example, in my case: “(UTC -06:00) Central Time (US & Canada), Mexico City”.

This module is very easy to use and it is very nice.

Excellent work! Thanks and congratulations to the developer Jorge Moises.
