This module does exactly what it says, quickly and easily. SImple to install, and with a bit of tweaking, easy to configure the styles of the nested lists.
My ONLY wish is one that was voiced in a previous review (Feb 2010) for keeping the previous state of the open folder: " Let's say that you select an article under the "February 2008". After loading the article, the module does not keep Feb08 open but initializes again to the most recent date..." (author:Itsam)
Well done! Five stars

This should be standard in Joomla!
Module works great with some minor problems:
1. I can collaps the tree but I can't expand it.
2. New articles do not appear in the tree unless I save the module again.

1. Thanks. Fixed
2. Or unless the caché expires. You can disable the cache :-)
Just whatI have been looking for my website.
Great module.
I was just wondering if there is an option to disable the date appearing before every article title.

I downloaded the module, installed it and had it up and running in a flash. It looked great! It is just exactly what I needed. There is one major issue though, and I can't figure out what to do about it.
I noticed that the articles show in the form of it's own SEF URL, and the big no-no is that it doesn't even append the current page's Itemid, hence when clicking on an article it shows it on a page set to no menu id, making it very difficult to style on certain templates.
To try and solve this issue I went to the support forum. It was all Spanish, but I had a translating app, so no biggy. But I couldn't even make an account with Facebook, or log-in, and the page stalled out twice on me.
I recommend it, but as long as you are aware that the articles that show when clicked in the module will display in a way that you can not attach modules to it (no Itemid)

The module uses the default method of Joomla to get the article URL:
JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute(id, catid))
And Joomla gives the url (with SEF).
Maybe the problem is that you use a 3rd party component for make the SEF URLs.
You can look how it works in the demo page.
This is amazing, works exactly the way it's supposed to and adds a lot to the structure of a site.
I would very much appreciate an option to have all entries expanded. It does have a 'always collapse' that you can set to 'no'. But not 'always expand'. That would be very useful...
Overall, thanks a lot to the developer!

Was looking for a mod that would list the blog posts like Blogspot. Mod performs as described. Easy install and implementation.
Had a similar situation like BoberFett below and had to do the same edit in the helper.php file. Thanks for the fix BoberFett!!!
Other than that ... mod works great out of the box.

This is a simple archives type module that you can install & use immediately. This type of thing should come standard in joomla. Been sifting through the extensions for a while and glad I found this. 5 stars.
Fantastic module. Simple = elegant.
I do have one minor suggestion. My posts were appearing in the incorrect order within their month. This was because I did some hand importing of blog posts from another site. When I did this, they didn't all go into Joomla in the same order that they were posted. So my content.IDs were sort of in random order, then I went back and modified the content.Created date so it matched the original blog posting date.
The query in helper.php is "ORDER BY id" and I just changed it to "ORDER BY created" and now everything shows up the way I want it. The Order By option on the module itself only appears to affect the filtering for building the tree for display, and not the order of the queried items. The query should probably use that option as well.

works just as described.. very easy.. not problems.
Great module and fast response from support
Great mod!
With all respect to the code, I do have a problem with presentation of the "advertisement" - "By JoniJnm.es" It's a bit confusing. It may be confused with another article on the list or article author.
I hope that the advertising message is changed to something like "powered by Mod LCA" where "Mod LCA" is a link to the mod's page. Also hope that not just "by" but the whole advertising message is gray or dark.
for a good example of mod advertising see jComment. (gray, small font, in lower right corner)
I am honored to use your mod and would like to display its advertising, but the present advertising presentation is (1) potentially confusing and (2) stylistically incorrect. I am tempted to turn the advertising off just because of these reasons.
