Additionally, you also can display the thumbnail of the first article image and introtext of latest article item.
This extension was awesome but i've updated my site and it no longer works. Pleaseee update this??
Very good module but I have faced two problems:
1. Performance: I have noticed that it will slow down the page significantly. Particularly in my site which I was about to put 5 instances of the module.
2. Problem when cache is on: when I have turned on the cache, it will not load complete CSS and therefore it will break.

Very nice, but I want to know how to insert a pagination at the botton of the list...
Very nice, thanks for the module!

hi, thx for the module, its very nice and easy to configure. I ve tried to 2 different sites and works fine.
I had a small issue though. In the second site does not show the date correctly. Actually it shows 1 day earlier than the created date of the article. I have the same settings to both sites, hosted in the same server and so m curious about it.
Any help would be appreciated.

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.

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.
