Fair simple. Installs, sets parameters and off you go.

Thanks for the great work. Keep going.

I've used it once - and it worked perfectly!
But I'm interested in such a thing: can I display an article (or a category of them) in such pop-up plugins as RokBox (or others) using your one?

I'm glad found this, just the job for putting something up on a page. Worked straight away and no need to refer to any extra instructions. Good Job, will definatley use again.

Excellent Module. This helped me overcome one of Joomla's annoying limitations. In order to edit modules you normally would need to be in the back end of the website. Now you can put article content into a module AND make it editable from the front end of the website.

You can't edit all modules, just those that use article content.

I need to show list of contents with the same category of the current dysplaying article. I have added the next fragment into helper.php:
if ($showbyid == 0 ) {
$query = 'SELECT catid' .
' FROM #__content' .
' WHERE id = '.(int) $curid;
$db->setQuery($query);
$showbyid = $db->loadResult();
echo 'Category ID = '.$showbyid;
}

Now I have what I want. This code works when list of IDs equal 0.

Being able to show the newest posts from multiple categories on my home page was essential to the design of my site - and this module made it all possible. Perfect.

I'm finding this very useful and it allows me to have multiple editable areas on my pages, however it would be nice to be able to define what pages it should be shown on. At the moment, you specify a module position and associated content id, so currently this displays in that module position on all pages which have that position. If one wanted to have different content for different pages they would have to define a load of module positions in their templateDetails.xml file such as page1-editable, page2-editable etc.

I wonder how easy it is to define not only what content should appear but on what content it should appear.

Anyhow great product.

This module is really useful for helping to create complex page layouts that can be controlled and edited by users.

I had to make a tiny SQL tweak before users could edit articles from the front-end, but aside from that it was straight forward to setup. Bear in mind that content displayed with this module can still appear in Joomla's search results - though whether that's a problem depends on what you're using it for.

This is perfect for what I need! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent module, well written, no bugs, no errors, installs perfectly!

So far, so good. This module took away a huge headache for me that was induced by the removal in Joom 1.5 of multiple category or section selects in menu items (you could do this in Joom 1.0).

Seems to be well-engineered and considerate of CSS norms. Easy to work with and deploy.

You can duplicate the module to make multiple feeds with their own settings and content pulls - awesome!

Hi this is very simple to use. However, I noticed that if I were to use this with "module in content", then there is a problem. It works fine with one "module in content" in a page but if there is more than one then it doesnt work for the second one. Otherwise this is a fantastic tool

Excellent.
It is a really important module.
Wish you luck

I have to say thank you for a gread module. I've used it on several sites over the last couple of years and have had no issues with it whatsoever.

Thanks Much!

Well, I just found another extension to add to my list of favorites! I was looking for a way to get Simple Image Gallery Pro & JMap - Advanced Google Maps Plugin for Joomla 1.5 working in modules. This module is the perfect solution. Easy to install, easy to configure. Thanks!

It gives me the freedom to place articles anywhere. It is even more then good replacement for the newsflash modul. In the new version from the owners site there is also an edit button in the front end.

the administration of the modul could be more user friendly e.g. giving wizzards for selecting articles like the "Linkr edit button" extension does.

Thank you for this wonderful module - it works like a charm for stylizing content insets.

This module is fantastic. I was pulling my hair out trying to get certain plugins to display in modules until i found this baby. Big thanks to the creator for a great module.

Easy, simple, and importantly it do the job. Now i can easily place content as a module to any position i want. This module is really helpful if u have custom-made template.

This module should be in the Joomla core.

This does a great job or re deploying existing articles, or categories. It does exactly what it says it does.

I suggest that thsi is a design tool, with some loss of functionality.

It is badly let down by the complete lack of documentation, i.e. a simple instruction manual would make it a much better contribution to the project. I managed to work out how it works, and it is in fact very simple. Unfortunately the key to that simplicity i.e. a step by step how do you get an ID and use it, how do you control the lay out, and how do you have more than one... would all be best put into a tutorial or simple text "how to use this" ... read me file.

The biggest downside, once you grasp the simple nature of the mod, is that the articles can not be edited on the front end.

I am sure there is a way round this, but as of yet I have not worked it out. For this mod to be really fully functional, that has to be sorted. The back end of joomla is really too much for many people, a simple front end article editor and creator is al they want and need.... this mod helps with the design, but kneecaps the functionality, so perfect if you are gung ho for the back end, but less useful if you want admins to edit from the front end only.

All in all, thumbs up and thanks for a great mod, if you can add the edit article option, then it will be perfect. =8¬)

This is my first review for any Joomla Extension... I have used quite a few, but felt compelled to write one for this module since it's something I feel should have been a built-in feature.

Great work - I am sure I'll be able to use this on all projects going forward.

Just a quick note, when using the "trim" feature and setting the number of characters, it helps to code in a "..." after the trimmed text, since I noticed many times it cuts off in the middle of a word (this is something that I think can be improved as well - a quick function to trim after the word might do the trick.)

If you open helper.php and look for the if($trim) section, you should be able to modify the output with "..." after the trimmed text, which is what I did (for anyone that is interested.)

Thanks again for a quality module!
