Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Based on our combined experience, we have created probably the best tool to present articles for Joomla!
A huge number of options and possibilities for formatting makes News Show Pro GK4 a complete tool for making attractive www pages content.
News Show Pro is useful for preparing simple structures for individual articles, as well as complex arrangements for multiple articles and a list of links.
In comparison with NSP GK1, GK4 brings a few changes:
- Support for K2 component
- Support for redSHOP component
- Support for K2Store component (Joomla 1.5 only)
- Support for JComments (Joomla 1.5 only)
- Support for VirtueMart
- Module management options in administrative panel totally converted
- Image cropping
- Portal Mode
- Support for K2 component allows the user to choose between using a standard Joomla! article manager and K2 component for more interesting possibilities.
By converting module management options, its support is more convenient and easier. Except grouping options in subject groups, a few simple solutions were added which makes module support clean and neat.
Cleaned up module code looks friendlier for users whose browsers have JavaScript off. Thanks to the use of new technology, the module and its content should be indexed better by the Internet Search Engines.
Such changes were implemented:
- Support for avatars authors from gravatar.com service
- Editorial content of informative part of an article
- Two blocks for content connected with informative part of an article
- Improvements in the field of specifying word/symbol limit in article elements
- More types of caching articles and links
Changelog - version 3.0:
- Added support for VirtueMart 2
- Added support for Joomla! 2.5 article images

The module is great and have all the necessary options but for some reason when you click on any article it doesn't open the article on a new page or window. Instead it opens the article on the same window where the module is which makes a mess out of the page. I contacted their support and forum but there hasn't been any response yet. I've seen this question has been asked many times but no clear answer has yet been given regarding this issue.
Thanks!!!
This is the best news module!
Supports 3d components.
A huge quantity options and settings.
Looks like very beatiful and professional.
And it's free!
Amazing! THANKS!!!

I wanna thank you for this extension, it's very smart and easy to use.
Anyway i have a little problem with it, using together with k2 component.
When News Show Pro GK4 pulls articles from k2 category, it tooks the same article but with different url; i'd like to have the same url for the article, both in category and in News Show Pro GK4.
How can i have the same url of the category article also in News Show Pro GK4 article?
thank you very much.

it's extra ordinary
only 1 last things i need you to give us solution
is the problem of "Read more" which show on the same page of module

Hi. I'm comparing News Show Pro GK4 to the other mods and have it working but when I click on the 'Read More' links the full article is displayed below on the same page. Not very practical for front page viewing in Joomla 1.7.
How do I get the 'Read More' to open the actual article in it's own page please? Even if I could reduce the size of the display area below that would be good. Perhaps make it scrolling.
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi
Thank you for review ;) About your question, did you try adding your category source of the articles on your main menu?
Cheers
Simply amazing product... and free?! With items like this, I typically like to load it up, set my data source and let it load into my layout just so I can see how it looks initially before messing around. I set this thing in there, hit publish and holy cow did it ever look good out of the box.
I tweaked stuff (it is so incredibly customizable - there were a couple times I said to myself 'hmph, wish I could do that' - and sure enough it was actually there), and more stuff and more stuff and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
PROS:
- easy to use
- tons of customization
- FREE!!!
- Layout and menus are very easy to understand
CONS:
- My only gripe is that I can't integrate jReviews, but such a thing is not to be expected with so many extensions floating around.
Thank you dev team.

Hi
Thank you for your nice review. jReviews is excellent component and it might be possible in future to provide support on News Show Pro GK4. That would be an excellent feature ;)
Cheers
I love this extension. Displays my news items really easily.
However,I cannot maintain my paragraph layouts. It squashes everything into one.
Otherwise, I love it

Nothing more to say, it's a great module for a webmaster.
What about 1 extra source missing, KUNENA, it will be a great extra for this great product ;)

Silly of me to think Gavick would not have upgraded to 1.7.!
The reason I write this review is for primarily 2 reasons:
1st- Gavick as usual has produced an outstanding extension.As usual. :)
2nd- I want to request all developers (this is not a reflection on our Developers Abilities, they are very talented and dedicated, full stop.)to get moving and get abreast of Joomla 1.6 and 1.7.Fact of the matter is that 1.6 / 1.7 compatible extensions represent a minuscule percentage of the available extensions.
Request the Moderator to let this review pass with the 2nd point included. Thank you
cheers

I love it! It was really easy to install and use. There was some weird conflict between the latest articles and the front page ones, but that got addressed fairly quickly.
The only reason I didn't give this a five star rating is because video thumbnails aren't supported. :(

Hi
Thank you for the nice review ;)
Did you try disable "Clean (X)HTML" option on "Additional Settings" panel?
Cheers
Difficult to set up, pagination is very poor, but free.
aidanews2 is better, there is absolutly no pagination, but it is free too.

Hi
Thank you for your review. You have pagination, counter, arrows, arrows with pagination and arrows with counter... you just need to select which one you like on "Articles layout" and "Links layout" panels ;)
Cheers
Excellent extension and for that price, awesome! For my works great and I don't have problems now, but i have been searching how to translate the "Read more" box and I can't find it.
Owner's reply
Hi
Thank you ;)
All our extensions have language file support, so you can change it on the respective language file.
This module has got all the assets essential for users to be supported in their activities in their sites: easy install, easy to configure (out of the box, no manual needed), supports K2. It is just as Gman20 has said: apart from respect it deserves a donation.
Thank you very much for this great extension

Installed with no problems and worked beautifully by itself...incredible module - can't believe its free!!! I did experience some issues after making multiple copies on the same page and uninstalled ur vyr can no longer get the module to install sadly enough...but one installation can't be beat!
Great free module very complete, although there are some negative points like the READMORE button showing up even there is nothing more to be read, no multilingual translation files provided and a weak activity on the forum.
