it's what I was looking for. I had to tweek it a little, cause the ugly table layout is not very css friendly. So I wrapped it into a div, removed the style attributes, and now, I'm able to easily change the apparence of the block.
But It would be nice to rewrite it table-less and standard-compliant.
The demo of the application seems great...it is exactly what I'm looking for. However, the documentation on the website is NOT "concrete", it is a list of switches with absolutely ZERO explanation in layman's terms where to put said code and switches.

It installed just fine, but I've not been able to use it.

Questions that are answered on the website simply supply a link to the cryptic documentation...many with more specific questions about the installation go completely unanswered.

It's too bad, because I've been looking for a couple of days for what this appears to do.

So far. So good. I am not a developer and this was really easy. Do read the link above. I really needed something that would help with the limitations I was experiencing using just the core joomla categories and sections. This did it. Would love to see the option to show category and section heads above articles! Thanks so much.

Wanted to use this but found the documentation crap to the extent there was any. The author appears to be ignorant of how to express such documentation in a way that distinguishes syntax from concrete values and the like so that I had to spend far more time than I should have and at this point still haven't been able to get it to work. By contrast Jumi is direct and trouble free but continuing to work with this as need something that will embed Joomla content. Badly in need of concrete examples.

Did you happen to look here:

Seems hard to believe you could have missed the 'concrete examples' at the top of the page....

Great plugin, outstanding service and forum/usercommunity at their site.
