Empty categories are not being listed even after having clicked on the 'show empty' link. This mod does mainly one simple/single thing and it shouldn't be too difficult to do it right.

Don't like it don't use it. Or so simple, fix it yourself & share with community.

Is a good Idea, but the current version doesn't support SEF!

I like the way this this project was going but it missing SEO safe links was a huge flaw for me. I actually took the liberty of redoing some code in the Module and made it 100% SEO safe. Im not sure how to get this posted but I would like to try to submit it to the original poster if I could.

As said previously, it does what it says, soooo many clicks saved thanks to this extension. Should be included in Joomla! by default.

Will rate it 5 when it will offer articles count and highlight current categorie ; )
Thanks very much.

Thanks! Nice port to J!1.5, though some features are missing from BK's original...

PRO
- best addition: template feature for the linkview/layout
(that one is missing in the original ;-) )

WISHLIST
- please add the important items counter
- maybe the section auto-select

TIA!!!

Give the lack of blog-related sidebar tools for Joomla 1.5 this is a must-have addition but...

- the links it generates are not SEF-url aware which is pretty import. If SEF is enabled, the links should use SEF url's and right now they use the default.

- it would be really nice to have an option to display the number of articles in each category next to the title (like many blog sidebar modules)
