It is an excellent extension. The features are great and the installation was really easy. However I have one particular issue, it always seem to open the article within the same page. In my case I have a "latest articles" in my homepage, and I would like to be directed to the actual source of the article instead to open it directly in the homepage, is this possible?
This is easy to install and use. It provides a feature which I was surprised not to find as a standard within the joomla core.
The missing star in my rating is for the fact that if you set an article to be released on a future date it ends up being part of the article list even before the release date (and if a user clicks on the link you get a 404).
Other than that I like it very much.

Dear mkayi,
Thank you for your review. I already fixed that issue. Please download the new version on my site.
BR,

This little module is exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to install and had all of the configuration and styling options I needed. The tooltip content popups are particularly sweet. Thanks!
Really easy to install and there was no problems configuring it. I'm a complete noob to Joomla, so this did (almost) exactly what I needed.
I'll also agree with other users - the one feature I would love to see would be the ability to sort on article order, and (less relevant) alphabetic order.
But even without this I still think its great.

Thank you for your suggestion, I added feature order by article order.
This module installed effortlessly and worked just as described.
The module interface is also intuitive, and I was up and running very quickly.
One question/request: Is there a way to order the articles in simple alphabetical order?

Dear buddy,
With this new version you can order the articles in alphabetical order.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Well done,
Simple to install:
1. install.
2. go to module mangager.
3. enable.
4. that's it.
Does exactly what it's designed for.
On a side note may also what to allow article list display via article order rather than date (create / modify).
BTW love the tooltips,

The module is quite good and simple (which is good).
My one qualm is the inability to use it as an all-around latest articles module. Being able to show articles from specific sections would be awesome.
But as is, quite good.

Now the new feature is added. It's now able to show articles from specific section and category.
Thank you.
I reckon I'm not the only one in need of this functionality: Simply display all other articles in a list on the right or left-hand side (or wherever you put the module) so that users don't have to go back to the blog-layout page to navigate to a different article while reading another.
Once activated this module does exactly that. Unlike the fancier "Ultimate Content Display" or "Content Links" with "articles listing" you don't need to create multiple instances of the module. And as far as I know it is the only list-module that's actually abel to display tooltips of the article's first sentences (or words). At least for 1.5. Content links has an dhtml tooltip function however it doesnt't work with 1.5.
So it's a great module. Unfortunately though it still lacks customizing options. And there's one bug: In a blog layout page the module's title is displayed even though they are no articles to be listed. (since they are listed on the blog-layout page already).
But generally: Thanks a lot for this essential module!

Thanks for your review.
About the title of module, please do not allow to display module title in the module configuration page. The module has it's own title, which you can configure by editing the language files or event overwrite from the module parameter.
This title will not be displayed in a blog layout page.
This module works ... kind of. I have one major problem: I get a title "Latest Articles:" which I cannot disable. If I select a title within the module, this one gets displayed above "Latest Articles:", which is annoying.
Furthermore, the module's functionality would be greatly improved if I were able to use variables in creating the title to display something like "latest news in CATEGORY".
But still, it looks like a good idea and it's a start.
