Uses Updater?
- Yes

I tried many, but this module is simply the BEST!
More than a news displayer, it is actually a powerful Article Scroller. The author have considered every possibility on the module configuration.
I spent days testing others on a demanding site until I found this which fulfill my demands.
ps: Support is great.

Wow, I have been looking for a user-friendly NEWS DISPLAY module for a very long time.
This is perfect and so easy, you control everything from the Module parameters. Just create an article, put the number in and set a few things the way you want and voila! Kudos to the developer! Thank you!

With this extension it's possible to manage content, text, images, anything you need to point attention on your articles. Display News is growing up with continuous and further updates. Great extension!
One little request to developer, if possible: to keep an updated changelog on new versions of DN.
Thanks Boris for Display News extension!!

This module is simply excellent. I can show the latest articles on my frontpage in real time without having to mess with frontpage article settings. You have to include this module on a content article. You then select this only article to show on frontpage. I found info on this page on how to do this: http://www.joomlaspan.com/general/include-any-module-within-content-in-joomla-15.php
I've been trying to create a page that digest the articles from a section so that a user can print a paper copy. The traditional blog layout truncated all but the first article or would display all the article text but then would not display the images. This solved these issues. I needed help and Boris responded within 24 hours. He solved the issue. Great job! Thank you.
The module fit as a glove all my needs. It was necessary, for my own template creation, display news without title, date, author... and with filter and word limit.
Now i´m trying to put 2modules, the 2nd to display news as an agend.
The website will be soon ready.
Thanks for the good work.

Works as expected. Love the custom template option. Thanks!
I have been looking for seemingly ever for an extension that does what this does. I've tried so many to no avail and much frustration that I can't believe I hadn't found this sooner. I'm using the version for Joomla 1.0 and I had it downloaded, installed and configured exactly as I needed it within 5 minutes. Thank you!
This module is an excellent tool to display news on a Joomla-webpage. It is easy to configure and has several options to use.
BK helps quick and implements users wishes into the programm. We use the newsscroller as an information desk for pupil. Therefor the mouseover was not neccessary - now there an option to tur it off - very nice ;-)
Thank you Boris

I have been using this over Mini Frontpage because it allows me to select specific articles and the code is easily understood -- for the most part.
I have two main problems with this module.
1) The image manipulation could use some work. See how the Mini Frontpage guys do it. There should be an option to float the image from the article either left or right of the content body.
2) The hover-text display for titles is easily broken when an article title contains apostrophes. I've tried adding a preg_replace under dn_filter() function but this doesnt solve the problem. I would welcome a quick fix for this.
Thanks.

This module is really handy. It has many options and settings to adjust so you can get the wanted result. It took me some time to setup but what I got was exactly what I needed.
I do not understand what justinw1970 could not do. It's easy to add or remove anything from the output.
You need to read the help text, that pop ups when hovering the field title in the module, to understand the usage of each field.

I tried the other leading modules before trying this one - don't know why I try this first!
This module maintains CSS from the article with no hacks or editing PHP.
What it does well (my opinion):
- "module template" setting lets you display or remove category, section, author, date, title, text, etc from the output
- "show images" lets you scale or use "as-is"
- "into / full text" - select what to get from the article
- can specify various categories or sections by ID or can specify individual articles. Very flexible.
It also sets up very easily and is so far bug-free (not a common attribute in this category).

This was so nearly what I needed but unfortunately there was no way to hide the section and category label that I was looking for. Thanks so much though, I can see how this will be really useful for lots of other people. Would be awesome if that could be included. I saw it was a requested feature so I hope it will be included!
