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

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)

This is the BEST news show module I have used.
I would love to have this module show up instead of the core Joomla blog view. It will be great if Gavick can make this a component too. :-)

This is one of the best extensions I've ever used. It installed and worked perfectly out of the box. Detailed configuration options are available... there is no limit to what you can do with this, once you begin using it. There's also an excellent pdf manual to go with it. Many thanks to the developers!
I just love extensions with a huge amount of parameters to adjust and this is one of them.
This is in many ways a simple module that makes a slideshow of news on a page and it works perfectly.
You can almost adjust everything so it fits nicely and smooth into your design.
There is just one thing thou, you can't adjust from the module interface and that is the size of font. The thing I needed to make it the perfect module.
All-in-all: really nice work

the best article display module. renders plugins, can be set to display only frontpage items (no more editing the module with an article ID to show a featured piece) and WOW the navigation arrows in the links - like a cherry on top of the cake. congrats and thank you, you're a life-saver!
The products these guys make are great. Very stylish and useful. Easy to install, at least on their templates which you have to purchase. Their support (also paid) is horrible. They are sarcastic, condescending, and rude. Getting answered is also very slow. I've seen posted questions that have not been answered in months. I would recommend this to hobbiest but not production environments on which you rely on a strong site.
