We added module parameters for Section Drop-down label, Category Drop-down label, Button label and JS Message, if no choice was done. Added option to hide sections and sort sections by id, title or order - ascending or descending. Added module class-suffix, for individual module styling. Credits to Luis Murcia who fixed some original JavaScript errors.
Installs like any other Joomla module.
1. In the first drop-down there is a list of all Joomla content sections. Option to hide and sort sections in the module parameters.
2. When you choose the section, the second drop-down loads the categories of the chosen section.
3. To allow some formatting to the result page, there is a module parameter called "Linked menu". You have to create a "category blog" menu item and set-up it parameters, or use an existing. This menu item "id" you have to put in mod_aj_article_listing "Linked Menu" parameter field. This controls the way articles are listed, 1 or 2 columns etc.
* Version 2.5:
Added Horizontal or Vertical layout

Works perfectly! I'm waiting for the added feature of article selection capability, though, as then it will be even more useful.
Great work!
Great work!

Thank you for the review. The article selection feature will be finished soon. We will add option to choose either section/category or section/category/article drop-down. We also have plans to make it Ajax driven.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Simple and elegant. Thank you SO much! :)
Just 2 items for the "wish list" for a future version:
- a third drop down with the Article Titles, populated from the selected Section and Category
- vertical or horizontal format selection in the parameters
Again, thanks so much for this very useful extension :)
