This is one of my favorite extensions. Its very easy to use and setup. Tons of options. Love it.
Nice options. Would not work for me. I could only get it to show module title and Oops! message. Tested 2.2 and 2.3 with exact same results. Joomla 2.5.8. Moving on.

It means that your articles selection filer doesn't return any article. It causes usually when conflicted filters are selected. For example: some specific section and an articles from other section are selected.
Simply change article filtering.
This versatile module is truly a gem. It's an all-in-one solution for almost every kind of articles display you want to use. I have used this module since the Joomla 1.0 version and it's just getting better and better. And the support is very good, remember that this is a free extension.
This is exactly what I needed for a current project. I anticipate I will be using this module often in future projects because of it's versatility. Thanks for this great free module !
Am really really impressed with this module. It does everything you need and then more, and it's free. Massive thanks to the developer.
I made the mistake of buying a few commercial extensions first, and none of them came close to doing what I wanted. Save yourself time and download this instead.

Very good module. Plenty of options (more then i need :)!) Thanks
I needed a module to scroll articles from a news category in a single-line at the top of the user page. I tried several of the scrollers available but all had shortcomings. This module works like a charm and is so customisable that it can be made to do almost anything you require - (for example, I needed to strip some words out of the headlines automatically. A posting on the support board returned the method in under an hour, and it works perfectly).
Well done guys/girls - fantastic module and first-class support.

I needed to find a way of selecting a range of already categorised articles in quarterly newsletters. The newsletters were a collection of articles from already existing categories. In this module I could choose which articles should be listed and how they should be displayed. For example, I can display them like a category blog.
Thank you for this extention. It was easy and intuitive to use.

I'm developing a joomla site and I had to show some news with introductory text. I tested some modules, but DisplayNews is the best, and their customization power with css tags is really really good. I think it is a complete tool, but for me I just need to know if is there a way to get K2 items instead of joomla's items? This would be a great improvement to my site, because I want to keep DN.
This extension is so amazingly customizable that you can truly create whatever look and feel you need for your news/article display. I'm just finishing a project where on the home page we needed to display some articles as "featured" (with bigger pictures, bigger titles, longer intro text) and other articles as "regular" in a more subdued way. With this extension, I created two of these modules and customized each one of them precisely how I wanted them. All done right in the admin UI with a little bit of CSS in a single file.
I actually bought a commercial extension in this same category which I nixed as it was not as easily customizable... and came back to BK News Display... highly recommended.

The module has too many customization features and it works like a charm.
I don't have words to thank BK for the perfect support!
A 5-star rating (I wish there were more rating stars available) !!!

I try different news display modules when they come along and I always come back to this one.
