Simple to install, to configure and to use!!!
But, I hope that other versions will get a Date format field in back-end! Three choice is not enough...

Nice neat component. As well as providing promised functionality, I think excellent for those wanting to understand more about Joomla extensions. It is pretty well crafted and doesn't have a zillion files to wade through.
First thank you to the developer , you did a good job , i was not expecting the results i got, keep it up and hope the next version will come with new things like including recent news or articles , for busy site this is will not be perfect , thank you

This is very easy to use, yet flexible module.
One thing I would like to be able to do (perhaps someone can let me know if it is already achievable) is to not strip the html from the original article. I know that on most occasions you will want to strip html, but I somehow need it to keep the html tags in tact.
Another thing I can't seem to be able to do, is to have more than one news article with intro text.

Great Module! Gave my recent news module more of a complete and professional look/depth. Its easily customizable here (Directory: ../public_html/modules/latestnewsplusdate/). Thanks!
Easy to use.
In the file mod_latestnewsplusdate/tpml/default.php , juste change all the "d F Y" to "d m Y" and you wouldn't have any problem with the month.

I really liked this extension. It's very simple to setup and rather flexible. I also wanted to have my months names in my local language so I made a small adjustment myself. Hope I'm not breaking any rules by showing it in here:
In the file mod_latestnewsplusdate/tpml/default.php I changed line 132 (the one under case 1:) to the following:
echo strftime("%d %B %Y", strtotime(date($item->created)));
This worked very well. Of course you can make similar changes elsewhere in the file. Note that I'm not a PHP guru so there might be cleaner ways to achieve the same thing but this works for me.

I tried it, it is very simple and works OK. I noticed one disadvantage, it does not work correct on a site in Dutch language, month names are not translated and there seems not to be an option to change the date format.
