 FlexContent is a module that allows for flexible display of introductory text, title, and an image from any content item. It is designed for showing either single items in an unusual way (for instance, showing an image that doesn't appear in the main article above the intro text, with the image hyperlinked to the main article) or multiple items with related styles.
Unique features:
Can produce hyperlinked images in output, with no CSS fiddling to make title block cover image
Can apply style classes in a cyclic manner, for any length cycles
Can be used as many times as required in a single page
Has option to add a link to category/section after displaying articles from a section or category
Sections and Categories can be selected from drop down lists
Can restrict selection of items based on creation time/date
Can read RSS feeds and output in the same format as local content
Version 1.1 adds the option to restrict article selection based on creation time/date, the ability to process content mambots (still experimental - it will cause increased CPU load/queries, depending on your site's mambots) and feed processing ability.
The image shows 2 instances of the FlexContent module - the top is a box set to display 5 articles from section, with images first, then titles, then text (styled appropriately), and the bottom is set to show the latest article from a section, linking through to the section, and with title-image-text layout.
Demo URL goes to a live site - feel free to view source and see how much of it relies on FlexContent!
