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 use this module for a magazine and it works very well for splitting items on different position/relevance. A lot of parameters and the css file with clear instructions.

There is not the possibility to set more than one column.
Thank you for developing this extensive module. It's very easy to customize the CSS since every element has it own distinct CSS class. Keep up the good working.

Very useful

Very nice to display articles in the front page with a lot of useful options. Very good work!

Nice mod with 1 complaint

This installed easy and has many options that i would usually expect to pay for. Easy to tweak apart from one issue...

link category will not work without section category enabled. I dont want to link section. Maybe a bug, maybe my buggerup. Even so, powerful enough for most users i think.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed to create menu items that would display the title and intro text of a content item, with the title linking to the content. With a passing familiarity with PHP and CSS and some patience for experimentation with the format string, this is fairly easy to achieve with this module.



A nice bonus...the module can be used multiple times on the same page. Here's how:

1. Extract all the files in the archive

2. Do a search/replace on the text in each file - replace 'dn' with 'dn1' (or 'dn2', or 'dn3'...depending on the number of times you install it)

3. Rename any filename that contains the string 'dn' to 'dn{X}', as in the previous step

4. Rezip the files (following the same structure as the original archive)

5. Install the archive through Joomla



Cons - I wish it wouldn't strip out the HTML tags of the content by default. This can be prevented by editing Line #55 of mod_dn.php:



Change '$text = strip_tags($text);'

to '//$text = strip_tags($text);'



Also, I don't know why it has its own CSS.



All in all though, no major complaints. : ) Thanks for a great mod!
I'd been looking for a scrolling new module for some time and then I found this one and it's brilliant, loads of config options and I had it working within a few minutes. Sadly there seems to be one problem that occurs when you view my site using IE as all the items scroll across together one under the other and I don't know if there is a way round it.



Pros: Superb module as long as site visitors use Firefox or Netscape



Cons: Internet Explorer doesn't seem to want to work with it



I guess I will just advise site visitors to get Firefox as this module is too good NOT to use!!!

perfect.

To be honest, im surprised it took me as long as it did to find a module that does exactly what i need... this is perfect and very handy, very modifiable etc...



It should be a default module that comes with installation!
