Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Based on our combined experience, we have created probably the best tool to present articles for Joomla!
A huge number of options and possibilities for formatting makes News Show Pro GK4 a complete tool for making attractive www pages content.
News Show Pro is useful for preparing simple structures for individual articles, as well as complex arrangements for multiple articles and a list of links.
In comparison with NSP GK1, GK4 brings a few changes:
- Support for K2 component
- Support for redSHOP component
- Support for K2Store component (Joomla 1.5 only)
- Support for JComments (Joomla 1.5 only)
- Support for VirtueMart
- Module management options in administrative panel totally converted
- Image cropping
- Portal Mode
- Support for K2 component allows the user to choose between using a standard Joomla! article manager and K2 component for more interesting possibilities.
By converting module management options, its support is more convenient and easier. Except grouping options in subject groups, a few simple solutions were added which makes module support clean and neat.
Cleaned up module code looks friendlier for users whose browsers have JavaScript off. Thanks to the use of new technology, the module and its content should be indexed better by the Internet Search Engines.
Such changes were implemented:
- Support for avatars authors from gravatar.com service
- Editorial content of informative part of an article
- Two blocks for content connected with informative part of an article
- Improvements in the field of specifying word/symbol limit in article elements
- More types of caching articles and links
Changelog - version 3.0:
- Added support for VirtueMart 2
- Added support for Joomla! 2.5 article images
Changelog - version 3.3.1:
- Added support for K2Store
- Added support for the responsive templates
- Added new portal mode - Responsive News Gallery
- Initial support for RTL
- Option to wrap the content in the separate block
- Module efficiency enhancements
Changelog - version 3.3.2:
- Added new portal mode - Speakers, created for the new Fest template

Great free module very complete, although there are some negative points like the READMORE button showing up even there is nothing more to be read, no multilingual translation files provided and a weak activity on the forum.
Awesome extension and it's free! A lot of options in the backend. I have only to figure out how to transalte "Read more" link :)
This was amazing. I did not expect to find such a perfect joomla 1.6 plugin for displaying news on my site FOR FREE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
Great product! It has everything except sorting the articles by rating:(
I'm really amazed about the easy of use, absolute one of the best modules.
I installed on my Joomla 1.6 testsite and it works prefect, only one thing bothers me ... clicking on a "read more" link, the module stays in place and the article shows below.
I assigned the module only to homepage to prevent thuis, but no luck. I want the module to disappear and the article to show in full page?

I just registered so I could review this amazing module. It has the most easily module editor i ever saw. It just isn't perfect because there is one thing missing. There isn't the option to put the block in horizontal or vertical style. If it has I didn't find it. It only orders vertically the title, image, text, etc....
Many thanks to Gavick
Many thanks to Gavick
I really like the idea of this. I really like all of gavicks work but this plug in is driving me crazy...I almost feel like it is a freebie with just enough headache to get you to buy their service. I know generally people 'aren't supposed to' work that way but that is just the way I feel about this particular mod.
The images do not load all the time. It is so intermittent. Sometimes they load but most of the time only some of them do and there is no way to get any help without joining their program.

Robert Gavick's team is relatively small, and yet they continue to amaze with extensions like this, and the stunning templates that utilize it.
I originally started using GK Extensions over a year ago, and have since join the template club to take full advantage of what they have to offer.
News Show Pro GK 4 is their greatest advancement thus far. I still use their last version on several sites, so I've been able to compare side by side, and they have made this one much simpler to understand (probably my biggest gripe as I install this on sites I don't manage).
There isn't much to say outside of 'it's great' because what it does and how it works is self-explanatory.
I can't speak to the paid support for the extensions, because my template developer license/support covers this and any other problems. That support has been good for the most part.
What I really want to see now, is an update on Tabs Manager and Photoslide (especially in making Photoslide more user friendly). Also to see them all a bit more integrated would be a nice touch.
But, 5 stars on it's functionality, and utility.

I have used News Show since GK1. I have been a web developer and designer for over 16 years and i absolutely love this module. The automated animation is just wonderful. The settings are so easy to understand. Please include font size changing in the next version, as i just used some css. I AM DONATING AND YOU SHOULD TOO
* Many options
* Very simple to handle
* Easy to Install
* Works Great
* FREE
* I never had to use the support but I know it's good because I've been snooping in the support forum :-)
After thorough investigation, I'm so pleased I chose this one!

Like a lot but there's one thing.
Arrows and pagination don'twork. Anyone can help me?
They are there but don't work.

Hi
Check if you template have mootools support or if other extension is in conflict with our engine (isolate the problem). Try changing the external files parameters by forcing mootools library.
I've been involved in Joomla for a couple of years now, building websites for myself as well as my numerous clients. Although the majority of code provided is free I rarely come across an extension that, right "out of the box" provides so many configuration options and ease of use as this module. Not only that, but the results it produces from the start immediately transform ANY website. Congratulations and thank you very much GAVICK for providing a FREE module (with almost the versatility of a full on component) which works so well (I've only been using it for literally 10 mins)
