This extension includes a component and module. The component manages notices and the module displays them.
Noticeboard component 2.0.1 saves and maintain notices. You can include images and links in your notices if your content editor supports it.
Noticeboard module 2.0 displays notices created through the noticeboard component. There are number of module parameters to change the look and feel.
Basic Options - 'Show Notice Title', 'Width', 'Height', 'Text', 'Align', 'Border Style', 'Border Color' and 'Border Size'.
Advanced Options - 'Speed', 'Delay', 'Category' and 'Effect ( Blind, Bounce, Clip, Drop, Explode, Fade, Fold, Highlight, Puff, Pulsate, Scale, Shake, Size, Slide)'.
You can duplicate the module to display notices for different categories in a single page.
Please note that this is not an upgrade to Noticeboard 1.4 for Joomla!.

I have been looking for something just like this to add an accent to my site. But I am unable to set it up properly as there are little to no instructions on how to set it up or troubleshoot problems. Developers has a site and forum, but the forum has no posts. Googling issues does not result in anything either

Dear Anthoj,
I could have helped you if you posted your problem in the forum.
Noticeboard is easy to install and use.
It provides an easy way to display specific articles in an ordered fashion with a number of user-friendly variables.
I would like to see the extension with navigation controls (ie. back, forward, pause) and a "random" feature to enable the articles to be unordered.
The reason for this rating is as previously mentioned. The developer does not provide easy or ready means of contact and support other than through a forum subscription.
If there was a ready and easy manner to contact the developer and seek information on the above additions and the support/service was not bad then very likely it would rate 5 stars in my perspective.
Otherwise, works as intended and a good extension!

Was glad to find this, and like how it's put together. First install, didn't work. Went to the site looking for help. Found none. Instructions were elemental; no FAQ, etc. Then looked for developer contact - none. Even googled him! Still no help.
I loved this extension! I made an account just to give a good review, probably the most simple and stylish extension around.
