Unless I have missed something. The News Feed works well, however when you try and open the feed link, it does not open on my site as the author Claims. Intead it Opens in a new browser window. There is a message saying that it requires thick-1.7 and Higher. However the Link goes back to the original file mod_thick_1.7 that I just downloaded.
Something is defintely missing. The Only good thing is the ability to remove RSS images and titles as one pleases. Other wise it would have been a an execellent module. At the end of the day it is no different from the Joomla Default. I give it thumbs down for false claims.

Please do not post negative reviews unless
you viewed the demo, read the FAQs and / or contacted the developer.
There are no false claims but in your review.

MgMedia2
I have installed the mgmedia on my site, it manages to read and display all media files in a folder very well. However it is supposed to create an xml file playlist for the media player to parse and read from. It has a bug and fails to create this xml file. As a result to that, the media player will load but will have the error! "cannot fine the xml file" I went into the code and adjusted a variable to view player list but that did not work as well, I checked the folders for an xml file but could not find one. I then created an xml file on my own and the player was able to work. Another problem that exists or perharps is already fixed is the file extention error. For instance you must ensure that your file extension for mp3 as such are of lowercase. To the mgmedia the file 'file.mp3' is not the same as 'file.MP3'. I noticed that there was an attempt in the code to sort this out but it does not work all the time. I would suggest that instead of having the 'click here for play list' link. The developer could simply create a link directly to each media displayed. As i stand now...my mgmedia gallery is not working. However the insert media directly in content is superp and exceeds my expectations especially with streaming.
Conclusions it is good enough for what id does. but can be improved 4 out of 5 stars awarede
