I needed to find a way of selecting a range of already categorised articles in quarterly newsletters. The newsletters were a collection of articles from already existing categories. In this module I could choose which articles should be listed and how they should be displayed. For example, I can display them like a category blog.
Thank you for this extention. It was easy and intuitive to use.

I'm developing a joomla site and I had to show some news with introductory text. I tested some modules, but DisplayNews is the best, and their customization power with css tags is really really good. I think it is a complete tool, but for me I just need to know if is there a way to get K2 items instead of joomla's items? This would be a great improvement to my site, because I want to keep DN.
This extension is so amazingly customizable that you can truly create whatever look and feel you need for your news/article display. I'm just finishing a project where on the home page we needed to display some articles as "featured" (with bigger pictures, bigger titles, longer intro text) and other articles as "regular" in a more subdued way. With this extension, I created two of these modules and customized each one of them precisely how I wanted them. All done right in the admin UI with a little bit of CSS in a single file.
I actually bought a commercial extension in this same category which I nixed as it was not as easily customizable... and came back to BK News Display... highly recommended.

The module has too many customization features and it works like a charm.
I don't have words to thank BK for the perfect support!
A 5-star rating (I wish there were more rating stars available) !!!

I try different news display modules when they come along and I always come back to this one.
Did exactly what I wanted it to do...
I was looking for a module that would display multiple news articles, from multiple categories. This module did that and a whole lot more. Tons and Tons of customization features.
Awesome module!

Worked the first time and as advertised.
It was simple, intuitive, and easy to set up. I particularly liked the fact that I could select an individual article or articles to display - it pulled the articles from the list of articles, so I did not have to memorize the article ID.
Oh, it's fully Joomla! 1.6 compatible not partially like some others, allowing for the selection of multiple categories.

I found this module very usefull, i can customize it with a lot of options and, when i had doubts, the service support was excellent. Thanks and... good job!
The html code is very weird.
if you choose they call they call "flat"
you get an html code without tables which is good. I hate tables when it gets to styling.
However you get the weirdest html code.
Lots of span wrapping p or div tags. Span tags with empty classes.
A span wrapping each p.
All the css styles are inline so you can't change them easily.
I Really don't understand why so many people left a good review.
Maybe I am the only one to get this shity html code? Something to do with my config ?
I just spent hours trying to use this module and get a fine html code.
For me it seems to me it is a module to avoid.

Download the latest version. Most of found issue were solved. Tables where replaced to div's. Empty span's where removed. Most of CSS classes are Joomla standard classes.
If you still have a problem contact me at my forum:

High quality, easy to deploy. Works as promised. One unique feature that no other article display module has, is the Content Selection Parameter "Hide Current Content Item", where it allows exclusion of current content items, from range of shown articles. Keep up the great work!
One of the best extension to display content.
Very versatile (with simple internal template)
and simple tu use, lots of options !
One only little missing thing : On Caroussel mode, One option to 'fade' articles instead of only scroll.
But, I'm sute it will come...
Thanks for this modul
