New version 3.1.0 !!
This component really saved my day on a site with complex section and category structure. To be able to show blogs with content from multiple categories and sections adds so much flexibility to the Joomla core limitations. Some of the previous bugs with this component, like writing thousands cache files is gone with the latest version. I still have problems with pagination and showing the pagination results. When clicking on additional pages it doesn't render the content correctly. When pagination is hidden this is not a problem though.
In order to remove the JHTMLicon not found message, you'll may have to open the view.php file for the component and change the line:
JHTML::addIncludePath(JPATH_COMPONENT.DS.'helpers');
to
JHTML::addIncludePath(JPATH_BASE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_content'.DS.'helpers');
Thanks for a much needed component. If the pagination issue could be resolved as well it would be perfect.
Cheers.

Zaragoza content is very useful if you have many articles in many sections/categories and want to show several of them in one page with a blog layout.
It requires a bit of skills in html/php to customize the templates pages, but once you know waht (and where) to customize everything is ok.
This extension is truly simple and absolutely functional. It installs easely and works great. Only one thing: you must add a line of code (in the file view.php) to fix the "JHTMLicon not supported. File not found." warning. See the official site for details.
Hope some new Joomla version will have something like this integrated into the core.

The only thing I use this for is to do what I couldn't do with another extension which is offered as a way to list all articles.
The other extension fails to list any articles whose titles don't start with a letter.
This one lists ALL articles! Thanks! I really haven't used it for any of the other features it comes with, but I'm sure they're of good quality and utility as well. I've been completely satisfied with it, regarding my one specific need. The reason I found this extension was that I am a satisfied user of one of Zaragoza's other extension suites, the Tags system.
