So when you add a new article, you don’t have to link it to menu manually - the menu automatically displays the link.
Categories in the chosen section may work as headings/separators among menus if generated from section.
The new version has some new options - biggest change is you can generate the menu from category (previous version generated only from section). You can hide the category names or you may have them clickable to show category contents. You can also hide the article links and show just the category list. You can set the maximum amount of articles to display.
The mod is quite light-weight and also offers a basic possibility to customize the output.
This new 2.0 version has many advantages, I tried to include all the requests I got from you, Joomla fans, so hope you will be satisfied now ;-)

This module installed with ease and immediately started to work as advertised. However there are a MAJOR shortfall.
Selecting link by category defaults to the Joomla category blog layout default with no way of customizing. If you do not mind having your category blog layout as big article on top with two columns underneath with NO category description, then this module is for you.
Also, the developer's site has no forum for raising questions. The rest of the site is in Czech.

This is a must have module, unfortunately it does not support the breadcrumb(?) so I cannot use it personally.

I agree with a previous reviewer, this really ought to be in the core offering.
Fantastic module, easy to use, 'nuff said!

Really; this is the basic sort of functionality that you would expect Joomla to ship with out of the box.
And this module does a pretty good job of patching over that oversight.
Unfortunately, it evidently doesn't generate its links in quite the right way, as it doesn't obey the built in SEF urls settings.
Its a shame as thats really the only omission in this extension (but its kind of a big one).
But again; if you can figure why this sin't in core Joomla!, you're a cleverer person than I...

What a time saver. You select the Section/Category for the module and the menu names and links are automatically created!
It automatically grabs your article title, with various sorting options.
If possible, I would award author Jan Zikmund an Oscar for Best Written Automatically Generated Menu". Take your bow, Jan!

Great module! Simple, but very effective. This is a great tool for your users to easily browse through arctiles: at any point, you can show them what other articles are available in the same section. No need for them to browse back to a section list or section blog layout. As soon as the author adds the possibility to have this module display all articles in ONE category, instead of all categories in a section, this module will be a must-have for every Joomla site.
