Uses 1.6 Updater?
- Yes
i agree with condor21,,
this module doesn't support articles with ReadMore.
It is so sad such wonderful job with all article Options as core CMS do not support this simple but surely important option, otherwise i will rate it 5.

This is a flaw of the Joomla core and not Article Module. The Plugins page explains why in detail. It's harsh of you to giving such bad feedback when its not in our control. Blame the design of Joomla, not us.
I was searching for a replacement for a module that bring article to module placement as it was starting to throw errors in certain servers environments.
I test most of the other...
I use plugins (google map and others plugins includes in my article) — It work Flawlessly.
What really make the difference is the ability to edit in frontend — This is simply brilliant... It put the Joomla content exactly where it should be and centralized it in the Article Manager. This module should be part of Joomla core and hopefully will be ported to Joomla 1.6 up.
On my template I did have to turn off the modification date in each article in the article manager.
For the people that worry for the readmore I suggest to see how (Firebug) your readmore is built (div, class whatever) and simply repeat that snippet of code in your article and simply put your own link in there. The advantage here is flexibility. You have total control of what is show in the front article and the link to the real article.

Good module, however it uses tables!!! which is obsolete and not 'css friendly'

Sorry but you are wrong saying "it uses tables". Please examine the source code carefully for Article Module and you will find that in fact it contins no "tables" what so ever. Any tables being output are from YOUR Joomla template since Article Module pulls all the Articles (with templating) directly from the core of Joomla without any formatting (or any HTML other then a "" and "" tag). Please remove your comment as it is missing leading, since it's up to you to not use tables in your templates.
remember to make any edits to the extention in joomla if you don't like the way it looks i.e. for me i had the "latest update info" and I couldn't figure out why.
but this module treats the article as it is so it allows for plugins to occur.
Genius.

Thank you very much!!
I was searching for something that allowed me to display articles anywhere just like in a digital newspaper or magazine, and I found this extension as the easiest one to do that. Just place an instance of this module at any position you need and select the article you want to display in that position. That's all!
Good stuff. Would be even better if it showed the article title using a real template...
I was looking for such module for a long time. It do what it says. Perfect for sidebars text.
One thing i missed - possibility to publish different articles with different modules. I mean, this module is only for one article, but it would be great it there would be possibility to place different articles in different places.

I wanted to place an article on the main page of my site that had an embedded map as this was the only way the mapping plugin could be displayed.
This module allowed me to create a module based on this article and display it on my main page.
Took in total about 3 minutes.
worked "Sweet As" perfect for what I needed it for.
Digihaven Thank You!
