Introduction

News Display, Articles Display

This very basic module shows articles as a drop down list. Upon selection, the article is retrieved.


  • Output can be restricted to one or more categories/sections.
  • Title Alias can be displayed instead of Title.
  • Basic styling is possible from module configuration.
  • Available for Joomla! 1.0, Joomla! 1.5, Joomla! 2.5, Joomla 3.x, Joomla! 4.x and Joomla 5
  • Joomla multi-language and Falang compatible
  • core SEF and sh404SEF compatible

Sometimes less is more ;)

I was looking for display some articles in dedicated module and the default Joomla Articles Category module was not adapted for my case. I tested some others modules and this Dropdown Article module is more less what I wanted. Easy to configure and use, he work very well and is perfect for my site. Very useful for display article title in compact manner. Many thank to developer for this excellent and free addon!

Assigning to the menus

I have a small problem in assigning the module to the menus. But the entire module works well.
I tried almost all the article listing plugins to get one that would even work much less display articles without taking up yet another chunk of real estate.



This worked perfectly out of the box. Simple, clear easy configuration with clear tootips made it a snap.



Now, I have dozens and dozens of articles at site visitor's fingertips available and the real estate needed?

A title plus a single line that fits in a sidebar.



Very well done. Thank you.

so nice module !

This module is fantastic. easy install, easy configure.It's easily manageable and always works as expected.



Thanks for sharing with us.
i like it. It saves page space, works fine, has clear settings to do the expected job the best way. There are only 2 or 3 dropdown article modules in the JED, but this is the one and only to use without any rottent compromise;) Just a nice thing. With itemId handling and SEF url's, one is best served.

Right to the point

Not being very experienced with customizing extensions, I found it being just what I needed but I agree with those who ask for some more styling and article selection options.



I really hope to see updates soon. Good work!
