Introduction

News Display, Articles Display

Display News by BK module is integration in one tool all that are need for content publishing: miscellaneous orderings, reach filtering and flexible output (by user defined template). This module also may be used for show content of specific author, news of today and many others. Content items can be positioned vertically and horizontally. User defined format is the best feature of this module. You may compile output from content item elements and html tags. It gives you ultimate flexibility for content presentation. Also module supports different style families: content items styles, tables styles and Display news dedicated styles. This Module is based on Rey Gigataras's Display News Module.


For upgrade install it over old version.

I have been looking for seemingly ever for an extension that does what this does. I've tried so many to no avail and much frustration that I can't believe I hadn't found this sooner. I'm using the version for Joomla 1.0 and I had it downloaded, installed and configured exactly as I needed it within 5 minutes. Thank you!
This module is an excellent tool to display news on a Joomla-webpage. It is easy to configure and has several options to use.

BK helps quick and implements users wishes into the programm. We use the newsscroller as an information desk for pupil. Therefor the mouseover was not neccessary - now there an option to tur it off - very nice ;-)

Thank you Boris
I have been using this over Mini Frontpage because it allows me to select specific articles and the code is easily understood -- for the most part.



I have two main problems with this module.

1) The image manipulation could use some work. See how the Mini Frontpage guys do it. There should be an option to float the image from the article either left or right of the content body.



2) The hover-text display for titles is easily broken when an article title contains apostrophes. I've tried adding a preg_replace under dn_filter() function but this doesnt solve the problem. I would welcome a quick fix for this.



Thanks.
Why joomla.org staff don't give the right visibility to this module?



In these 2 days i have search in JED a lot of scrolling module, this is the ONLY one that really do it!
This module is really handy. It has many options and settings to adjust so you can get the wanted result. It took me some time to setup but what I got was exactly what I needed.

I do not understand what justinw1970 could not do. It's easy to add or remove anything from the output.

You need to read the help text, that pop ups when hovering the field title in the module, to understand the usage of each field.

Great work!

I tried the other leading modules before trying this one - don't know why I try this first!



This module maintains CSS from the article with no hacks or editing PHP.



What it does well (my opinion):

- "module template" setting lets you display or remove category, section, author, date, title, text, etc from the output

- "show images" lets you scale or use "as-is"

- "into / full text" - select what to get from the article

- can specify various categories or sections by ID or can specify individual articles. Very flexible.



It also sets up very easily and is so far bug-free (not a common attribute in this category).

Almost Brilliant

This was so nearly what I needed but unfortunately there was no way to hide the section and category label that I was looking for. Thanks so much though, I can see how this will be really useful for lots of other people. Would be awesome if that could be included. I saw it was a requested feature so I hope it will be included!

One of the best

It's my favorite module. Easy installation, easy configuration, easy to use... Great job !

Love it!

I find this module extremely easy to install and configure. I find it to be an outstanding tool. The only thing I really need it to do is to support html. The content item it pulls might have html in it but the module displays the code literally. If this feature could be added, I'd give it 6 stars! Thanks!
I'm acustom to modifying the coding to get a module or component to operate the way that I want it to.



But the simplicity and the number of options that this module provides blows the gavick news G3 out of the water!



I have this same module displaying news in 6 different locations on my homepage and they all look like different modules. This is such a versatile module that I use it 80% of the time. It's always my first choice. WAY TO GO!
