Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
The module displays a thumbnail plus an extract from the text with a link to the article for each item. The items can be displayed in a variety of layouts, including lists, tab panes, an accordion, an article rotator, a highlighter or thumbnails only. There is a choice of colour schemes, and transition effects for the rotator and highlighter layouts. It is also easy for users to include their own layouts, these can simply be dropped into the template folder and will be automatically picked up.
The module can use GD graphics for improved thumbnail quality. The administrator can set the length of the article excerpt either by setting the number of characters or the number of sentences.
**K2 Integration**
The module can display an extract from the K2 intro text, plus an image thumbnail. The thumbnails can use either the K2 image field or an image embedded in the article text.
**Mighty Extensions Resources Integration**
The module now features integration with Mighty Extensions Resources. It can display text taken from the text, textarea and html field types, and thumbnails taken from the image or picture field types, as well as images embedded in html fields.
