I really like this and as everyone else says "it's very slick and tidy". Simple to install and configure. Thanks for this. I'm posting a feature request in the forums about implementing FN_author_alias.

:-)

Love it! I wanted an eye-catching way to display archived content within each category of my website (which consists mainly of photo galleries). This extension created nice thumbnails from the larger main image associated with each gallery. I listed the 6 most recent galleries in the right-hand sidebar (clickable title and thumbnail). It's simple to set the size of thumbnail and so forth. Then, I used the same module again, set in "list only" mode (no thumbnail) to list ALL of the photo galleries in each category, and I placed this under the first set of 6 thumbnails. Really happy with how it looks and works. Many thanks to the developer!

works fine and a good replacement for standard joomal latest news module on homepage, but does not support externally linked images in articles !
must pay attention to article content images are local, too bad...

I've installed this module with no problems on my 1.5.9 Joomla site and it worked perfectly for a while. Then, I started to have "getimagesize" errors so, I went to their forum for help and this is the part that makes me give it a poor ratting.

There seams to be absolutely no support at all from the developers. I also noticed a great amount of unanswered topics with similar problems as mine.

So far, looks like a deserted forum. To bad because it's a good module (when it works).

I strongly recommend Devs from other groups that offer great support for their products, to create a similar component so I will (and probably a lot of people to) use theirs instead.

This has been an unsatisfied customer's review.

This is a fantastic module. A great way to diplay yoour articles how you like and even with comments from Jom Comment next to the title! I've just got to work out how to tell it to not display the first article - and then I'll be 100% happy.

Regularly updated and so much nicer to look at than the default ways of displaying latest content items in Joomla. It and its cousin Global News are two of my favourite content items components for Joomla :)

This module is very good to replace the default Latest News module. The author had offered plenty of parameters so that we can have flexible frontend layout.

Now I have only one filter suggestion:

Please add two new parameters: Only show content from current Section/Category (Yes, No).

Thanks to the author.

This is a very powerful module and I'd recommend it totally aside from it's one major flaw... The problem is you can't tell it not to show on category and section blog views - so whilst it's great having, for example a list of other articles by the same author on an article view page - you can't stop a list of articles from also appearing on the category / section blog summmary pages - which by design already display that info :-(

It does exactly what I needed, thank you very much :-)

There are some must-have extensions that perfectly expand Joomla's basic functionality - this is certainly one of them. I think lots of Joomla users will benefit from this: it's not only a versatile Latest News replacement, but also a perfect navigational aid for every category or section. Very important from a usability point of view: it's is possible to make the current article in the Filtered News list not-clickable or to hide it. Lots of other options: you can filter by category, by section, add pictures or article intro text. To put it in one word: wow!

I needed this module for a site but found a bug so I reported it in the forum... fixed almost instantly and thats not all.. Made 2 feature requests (exclude sections and category's) and they implemented then within 2 hours!!!

Nothing left to say but "wow" :)

I was using another module for a long time but my client wanted something that the reader could control the flow of the news. I knew I had to look for a module that will only display the news of just one module. I found it from the forum, installed it and played around with it to find the right category or section.

Took me about 5 minutes top to configure it and now it's running great.

One quibble: If a web visitor clicked on the number below, then the news ticker stops and doesn't restart until the page reload. It's a small thing but would be nice if there's a certain time out and then the newsticker will restart without having to reload the page.

Also, I tried with W3C validation and there's an error code so I hope this can be updated with W3C corrections.

But all in all, a great tool!

Easy to use. Very cool. Would like to see it as a 'related items' module too! :-)

Very easy to install, configure and ENJOY, especially for a rookie such as myself.

Excellent support for any questions you may have and the features in the module are great.

Thank you JV!
Best wishes,

This module displays news (mostread/latest/popular/...) in a way that fits everyone's needs. On a frontpage, it groups them into sections (or categories) and allows them to be organized into specific number of columns and rows. "replace text with category image" is an excellent option that gives a much nicer look to the module itself. On section/category pages, it will filter news based on appropriate section, and displays news from that particular section in a similar way described above.

I'm very glad that developer responded immediately to every request I had about this module, and it's really nice to see such dedication to make this better. With scrolling and sliding functions added lately, I think this could be the one of the most usable module I've tried.

Excellent work, Mr. Vargas. You did a top notch job!

What a fantastic little module. Well several mods... Download and play around with them to get your head around them.

I added three variations to the bottom of my pages, recently added to section, most pop in section and most pop in category. Love it!

Thanks.

Jeff

Does exactly what is says it does with good support. Well done.
