LatestNews+ Date is an enhance version of the standard Joomla latestnews module with an additional thumbnail, date and time features for each news. You can display the date or the time on the article published in front of the article item title. Additionally, you also can display the thumbnail of the first article image and introtext of latest article item.
It is a very useful module. But it has one serious flaw/bug. It filters all zeros in the text. Please fix this in next version.
I do not find another way to contact the author so I write it here so everyone can fix in by themselves if they have the same problem. I solved it by:
In the helper.php row 371 and 378 change !empty($striptag[$m]) to $striptag[$m] !== ""
That way the function empty don't interpret a zero as empty and doing the wrong desiccation here.

I really like this extension, unfortunately I can't use it because it only supports using the default image directory -- you cannot use your own directory.
Support is via a basic forum on templateplazza.com, and the developer is pretty responsive to posts -- much better than a lot of others I've seen so good job!
I've evaluated a lot of Latest News-type modules and like this one the best except for the one problem that you can't use a non-default image folder.

I find this extension quite amazing! Considering it is free, the end result is very good and support is excellant.
The module is easy to use and configure and, as alwasy, it is better to use it in its default configuration before customising it. You can locate it where you like and I have not yet found anything to beat it - I use it on two sites.
Well done - you are just what the Joomla society needs.

The demo site was not working but I downloaded the module anyway to try it and I am glad I did.
This is an excellent module and very easy to set up.
The style of the display was generic and not quite right for me but it was easy enough to find the css file and amend it to suit.

This extension was awesome but i've updated my site and it no longer works. Pleaseee update this??
Very good module but I have faced two problems:
1. Performance: I have noticed that it will slow down the page significantly. Particularly in my site which I was about to put 5 instances of the module.
2. Problem when cache is on: when I have turned on the cache, it will not load complete CSS and therefore it will break.

Very nice, but I want to know how to insert a pagination at the botton of the list...
Very nice, thanks for the module!

hi, thx for the module, its very nice and easy to configure. I ve tried to 2 different sites and works fine.
I had a small issue though. In the second site does not show the date correctly. Actually it shows 1 day earlier than the created date of the article. I have the same settings to both sites, hosted in the same server and so m curious about it.
Any help would be appreciated.
thx

This is very easy to use, yet flexible module.
One thing I would like to be able to do (perhaps someone can let me know if it is already achievable) is to not strip the html from the original article. I know that on most occasions you will want to strip html, but I somehow need it to keep the html tags in tact.
Another thing I can't seem to be able to do, is to have more than one news article with intro text.
