This extension displays articles using a list (li) format and strips all other format coding including alignment, links, bold, etc. Maybe I'm trying to do something this extension wasn't intended for, but I believe my attempts should be within its advertised scope (displaying an article).
I'm trying to display a series of quotes at random.
Problems encountered:
1) It does not have an option to turn off (hide) the title of the article. (I was able to overcome that with a little css trickery.)
2) It strips all formatting (alignment, line breaks, bold, italic, etc.) within the article.
3) It does not display links in the article (even if I eliminate my css trickery to hide the title link). Link references are stripped.
4) It would be nice to have an option to turn off the list dot and indentation on the left. (This can also be overcome with css.)
It does a good job of randomly showing the articles. If the above problems were addressed - particularly #2 & 3 (formatting issues), this would be a very useful extension.

Thanks, works well. I was after a module that would display part of an article from a certain category that displays only a certain amount of characters for Joomla 1.5. This does that, plus if needed it can be used to display just a random list of article titles, or multiple articles with part of their content too.
Easy installation and set up. Can select the section and category ID you want. Godd job

Trying to display 1500+ Content items would be next to impossible without this module. We find it to be an "essential", and appreciate the work.
Thanks
Thanks
