With DM K2 Article List PRO you can choose between different layouts, getting the possibility to use the one that lets you get the most from your template's design. You can show articles' titles in a list, have them displayed as paragraphs or totally customize (with CSS) the layout. You can decide to show the articles' date and to format it exactly as you need, setting its font style, its position, its' format and so on. In addition, you can choose to display a bottom link, allowing you to provide a customized "read more link" to your module.
With the last release, we added the possibility to add an intro text to the module, giving you more control on the role that the module can have on your website.

This is the only article list I now that supports popups. Great if your like me that wants to display articles with pages of the text. In a popup screen dispayed in RAW format, large blocks of text appear neat.
Without using a popup large articals have the potential to destroy the layout of a webpage.
Note: RokBox plugins needs to be also installed to support the popup function

I bought this module because i needed the option to display k2 items in lightbox mode (using Rokbox). The module worked like it promised. There was a problem with the displayed time of the k2 items but with the help of module's developers the problem fixed and now working perfect.
For the support i have to say the best, very fast response, and help for whatever i asked.
Highly recommended if you're using K2.

Excellent extension to K2 (and core Joomla!) that works out of the box. Set up for client use, who finds it very easy to use, in fact doesn't notice it at all as the process of list building is automated. Support from dev is very good with quick responses. Yes, it costs, but is bundled with several other useful extensions for very little outlay.
I purchased this extension (don't be put off that it's not free - the price is very reasonable) and it installed without problems.
The module is very customizable but the parameters are all intuitive which makes configuration easy (there are some modules out there that "customizable" translates into "confusing"). Anyway, the one feature that makes this a "must have" for anyone using K2 is the ability to show a list of articles based upon a tag. Want to have a module showing a list of product demos? Just tag those articles/items with "product_demo" and enter that tag name into this module. Voila, a list of those items appears. No need to go back and modify the module when you add another item. Simply tag that new item with "product_demo" and it appears.
I had been using Extended Menu (mod_exmenu-j15) to accomplish this but had to enter in the item IDs explicitly in the module. This is a MUCH cleaner and easier approach.
One thing to note is to make sure you download the proper module if you use K2. Download "mod_dmk2articlelistpro". There is a similar module "mod_dmarticletitleslistpro" which has more Joomla article features but does not support the K2 tag feature.
If you are a K2 user then get this module. You won't be sorry. My thanks to the developer.

I purchased this module and after a clean install, all seemed to be working until I noticed that the module was looking at the wrong content. An email to support and very soon after, problem solved. Very good response from the developer. Highly recommend if you're using K2
