The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This module and it's other version is one of my first installs in every site i make. it helps making a better content layouts and actually replaces the blog view. it's easily manageable and always works as expected.

Every thing is great, I test all same module, but this is best...
It has Just one wrong thing...This moudle don't crop images...(just resized it), \

totaly is a good module.

Thank you so much for this great module. Easy to install and so easy to use.

thank you for your modul
i like it and good job

Looks good but doesn't support plugins in content and the support is dead (forum for the extension is locked).

a very, very good modul! Thank you.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Great module, very easy to use and tons of customizations. The only issues I had were trying to get "content browser" and "content scroller" to work. Both would display the text floating elsewhere on the page. But the "Content Slider" was exactly what I was looking for and it worked perfect! Thank you for this!

I am loving this module ever so much!!!

wish i would have know about it before, I am using over 100 instances of this module and it works like a charm!

The ease of use, flexibility of configuration and the added values for content administration and correct display of intros across browsers is just spectacular.

One of the major bonuses of using this module, is the content admin doesn't have to worry about resizing the thumbnails and placing them into an intro text to display a news article correctly in the homepage or lobby page or in a blog view, the first image will appear as predefined for each instance (for example for one lobby you can 90*90 thumbs and for another 200*200pixels thmbs - the original pictures being random sizes.
The module will cut the text at the exact number of character as required and the formatting of the html happens in the module, so you can define very complex and fully customizable display structures for each instance!

Another major advantage is your ability to switch an instance between list view, scrolling ticker view, items view(picture + text), so you can play with the same instance on the fly and just apply it differently every time,

EXAMPLE: below every article i use an instance to show 2 random articles with picture and text,

to the left of the article i have a list of the top articles in the same category, and these two are copies of the instance i used to display articles in the lobby page...

This product makes Joomla webmastering more accessible than ever!

i think it's a great innovation and most certainly one of the best modules i have ever used, big respect and thanks to the authors!

the only thing missing to make it perfect is some way to handle pagination, when they get this done - i could create half a portal using only this module.

I really like this and as everyone else says "it's very slick and tidy". Simple to install and configure. Thanks for this. I'm posting a feature request in the forums about implementing FN_author_alias.

Love it! I wanted an eye-catching way to display archived content within each category of my website (which consists mainly of photo galleries). This extension created nice thumbnails from the larger main image associated with each gallery. I listed the 6 most recent galleries in the right-hand sidebar (clickable title and thumbnail). It's simple to set the size of thumbnail and so forth. Then, I used the same module again, set in "list only" mode (no thumbnail) to list ALL of the photo galleries in each category, and I placed this under the first set of 6 thumbnails. Really happy with how it looks and works. Many thanks to the developer!

works fine and a good replacement for standard joomal latest news module on homepage, but does not support externally linked images in articles !
must pay attention to article content images are local, too bad...

I've installed this module with no problems on my 1.5.9 Joomla site and it worked perfectly for a while. Then, I started to have "getimagesize" errors so, I went to their forum for help and this is the part that makes me give it a poor ratting.

There seams to be absolutely no support at all from the developers. I also noticed a great amount of unanswered topics with similar problems as mine.

So far, looks like a deserted forum. To bad because it's a good module (when it works).

I strongly recommend Devs from other groups that offer great support for their products, to create a similar component so I will (and probably a lot of people to) use theirs instead.

This has been an unsatisfied customer's review.

This is a fantastic module. A great way to diplay yoour articles how you like and even with comments from Jom Comment next to the title! I've just got to work out how to tell it to not display the first article - and then I'll be 100% happy.

Regularly updated and so much nicer to look at than the default ways of displaying latest content items in Joomla. It and its cousin Global News are two of my favourite content items components for Joomla :)

This is a very powerful module and I'd recommend it totally aside from it's one major flaw... The problem is you can't tell it not to show on category and section blog views - so whilst it's great having, for example a list of other articles by the same author on an article view page - you can't stop a list of articles from also appearing on the category / section blog summmary pages - which by design already display that info :-(

It does exactly what I needed, thank you very much :-)

There are some must-have extensions that perfectly expand Joomla's basic functionality - this is certainly one of them. I think lots of Joomla users will benefit from this: it's not only a versatile Latest News replacement, but also a perfect navigational aid for every category or section. Very important from a usability point of view: it's is possible to make the current article in the Filtered News list not-clickable or to hide it. Lots of other options: you can filter by category, by section, add pictures or article intro text. To put it in one word: wow!

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" :)

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!

Easy to use. Very cool. Would like to see it as a 'related items' module too! :-)
