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 was looking for a module that can show Most Popular News links as per our requirements. I also found another module which was costing some money but that was having some problems with blank module display.

I contacted Boris and he configured the module in brilliant way and the module is working perfectly.

I found Display News (mod_dn) is one the best module to display news in different way using different filters. It is very easy to configure this module.

Thanks Boris for a great module and excellent support to the community.
This is great module and I have used it on may sites. There are however some installation problems. On a Joomla 1.5 site running PHP 4.4.7 there is no problem. But on a PHP 5.2.5 site Im getting installation errors andI can't use the module.

A very versatile module

I have used this in 1.0.x and now in 1.5.x and I'm loving it. It has so many useful parameters that I can now do lots of devious things with my content. Very very handy. Before I discovered this, I was writing my own modules each time I wanted to do something a bit non-standard. Congrats and thanks to the author

Excellent!

Its high degree of customization, ease of installation and parameterization make the module necessary and irreplaceable.



Excellent work!

The configuration options in DN make it usable for so many situations...easy to setup, easy to use, and easy to style. Used extensively by me to power all sorts of things - so not just for news!



Thanks for a truly wonderful module.
We use this module lots to display automated lists of content etc through out our sites - thanks!

Display (not only) News!

Great tools. I've using this for about 1 year and found this extensions save a lot my sleeping time. Tx for BK. Doublethumbs.
Couldnt turn off the Section and Category label in the module! Even I set it to NO... tried to turn it on...save and off...save...



So I cant use it..3/5
As other reviewers, I found this module really easy to use and with so many parameters (selecting items inside sections, categories, articles themselves, or even by date!! The only draw back is that it only displays one column. But you can change that easily. I modified the "horizontal" style inside the mod_dn.php file. This code will count the columns (3 in this case) and then add a new row. After you ad this code, make sure you use the horizontal style:

Add this to the Parameters list (around line 342):



// Count Columns

$countColumns = 0;



And then replace this code from the loop (around line 1270):



if ($style == 'horiz' ) {

echo '';



with this code (make sure you change the number 3 to how many columns you want to display):



if ($style == 'horiz' ) {

$countColumns = $countColumns + 1;

if ( $countColumns == 3 ) {

echo " ";

$countColumns = 0;

} else {

echo '';

}



You can thank this one to my husband Van for helping me figure it out.



I love that you have a separate CSS for it. It is very helpful since I'm using this module to display articles for each issue of a online magazine.



Thanks again for the great and simple Mod!
