It also worked good out of the box. I had some trouble with some specialy settings I wanted and tronghm from BT forum was really helpful and solved my problem.
Thanks goes out to tronghm and BT!
Pros:
+ Module's layout is fully configurable
+ It is also 100% Responsive aka RWD
+ Great control over the titles and text headers
+ Same control over the articles' images thumbnails and they look nice (also they're kept into the module's folder therefore not indexable which is what we want here)
+ Sources are also fully configurable
Possible improvements:
- jQuery version included is 1.6.4; bt_content_slider won't work with e.g. jQuery-1.7.1 which leads to duplicate libraries :/ unless you really take care of it
- Generated images thumbnails can be way too BIG: up to 32 KB for a 180x120px PNG and 20 KB for its JPG counterpart. Means that if you have 10 of them it can add over 200 KB to your page :/
- It adds three more scripts to be loaded but only from the pages where you use it.
Hi,
* Jquery version: you can use versions newer than jquery 1.6.4. The module will automatically detect and prevent duplicate libraries
* Image compression: GD2 Lib does not compress images so sometime you will see the cropping image large than normal size.
* You can copy and merge them into one
Thank you!
2) It breaks if you set "strip html tags" to NO
3) "content link" doesnt work properly, so I have to hack it a bit to open a specific page
Other than that it's great. 4.5 stars from me!
1) Should support vertical scrolling as well.
---> we will try to upgrade it
2) It breaks if you set "strip html tags" to NO
---> This is inevitable when cutting html source, you should increase the description length or Use caption of intro image instead of it
3) "content link" doesn't work properly, so I have to hack it a bit to open a specific page
---> Maybe you missed "http://" in url
Thank you for your review very much!
Excellent service and an excetlent tool for the (my) website.

various options to make your own layout, user friendly and rich graphics.
what was very amazing was that it generates first line and make READ MORE itself, as well generating an image thumbnail from the article, so makes it easy for the user! just write the article and you're done!
a must have!
It is full fill my all the requirement.
This is an intelligent module that automatically pull image from introtext of article and creating a thumbnail .They have a various smart option to manage it.
Thanks buddy great work .
