Introduction

RSS Readers, News Display, Articles Display, K2 extensions

Latest News Enhanced Pro is a full-blown component with blog views and an all-in-one news/articles module presenting the latest, featured, popular, future (even pending), related or random article snippets in a consistent professional fashion.

  • style items in responsive-ready layout designs,
  • jumpstart your designs with available color schemes,
  • create high-resolution thumbnails for devices with high pixel ratio (like retina screens) and WebP support,
  • show items to targeted user groups with highly detailed and overridable information (author, hits, ratings, categories, date, keywords, tags, links, social media sharing, comments count, K2 extra fields, Joomla 3.7 custom fields...),
  • add pagination and/or touch-ready animations (jQuery or pure javascript),
  • cache thumbnails, on-the-fly stylesheets and scripts for faster loading,
  • add module instances inside articles, after a set number of paragraphs,
  • supports Bootstrap 2 to 5,
  • ...

Excellent extensions and top class support



Posted on 14 December 2023
Functionality
I have been using LNE Pro for about a year now and it has been thoroughly reliable.
Ease of use
Its very easy to use, and there are soooo many features, so be sure to take the time to investigate all the things you can do with it.
Support
I only have had to contact SYW a couple of times about an issue and both times they responded very promptly and their support was excellent!
Documentation
Value for money
You really won't find any free extensions anywhere near as good as this. And the only comparable one I used to use is no longer in support.
I used this to: A multi-lingual news section. It can filter by language, so an instance of the module can be used on a site with 12 languages (my use case). Use multiple instances and use the filtering by tags and by categories to get a really flexible solution. It also handles images very well.
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review, I really appreciate it :-)

Present the latest news in a convenient and attractive way



Posted on 17 August 2023
Functionality
A huge number of possibilities, for source, layout and navigation
Ease of use
Because of the many possibilities, trying is the message, so ask for some time
Support
Hardly needed but always quick responses and there is also a forum
Documentation
Good and clear documentation and very easy CSS overrides in the modules
Value for money
$30 per year or $50 per year for unlimited sites is a very fair price
I used this to: I use this to, well, publish a selection of the latest articles on the homepage.
Owner's reply: Thank you, Didier, for the review, I really appreciate it.

Best way to display articles on Joomla



Posted on 31 July 2023
Functionality
I love using core joomla and custom fields. Latest News Enhanced gives me the power to display my content any way that I want.
Ease of use
It is slightly complex to use, and you must be patient, but that is because of all of the functionality.
Support
Olivier takes great pride in his product and offers fantastic support. The product is constantly evolving
Documentation
The documentation is excellent. He has broken down each element of the tool in easy to use documentation.
Value for money
It is worth every penny! I'm able to create complex blog type pages using LNE I could not do with just core joomla.
I used this to: Library Websites, University Websites, Private websites. I can use this for Landing pages for people, courses, news, blogs, any time you want to display content and custom fields. I even started using it for event pages. He has added filtering by custom fields.
Owner's reply: Thank you, Laura, for the review!
You and your team helped shape Latest News Enhanced by pushing the limits and providing continued feedback.
For that, I am especially grateful.
:-)

For me, the best news module for joomla



Posted on 23 October 2022
Functionality
I've checked many news modules. This is by far the most flexible and versatile I've found. Even more wellknown lack this versatility.
Ease of use
Is has so many options that it requires some learning and be attentive when configuring. But i's much easier than most other similar modules
Support
Really great support. Haven't found before such a fast response, and help for custom needs of any questions
Documentation
Good documentation. You can learn it easily by yourself. Not too extensive, not too complex, much easy to find. Takes its time, but not much
Value for money
As far as in our experience, no doubt at all this is Good value for money.
I used this to: News Portal website with free and restricted content, in a simple but clear and well organized layout for quick and easy reading.
Owner's reply: Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it.
It's a challenge to make the extension easy to use and versatile at the same time.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Great extension

I use it on a couple of different sites and it solved my problems with display.

Very easy to install & to configure. Various params allow customizing, e.g. how long and in which way news should be shown on your website.
Ease of use
No problem to set up, it works out of the box, However, take yourself some time to check out best customization especially for your website.
Support
Great! Fast and competent, willing to help. E.g. CSS-override was delivered in a very short timre. It looks like staff works all the time.
Documentation
Easy to read and easy to understand. During installation/testing I have nothing missed.
All you need is availlable online on their website.
Value for money
Excellent product for little money. Using this module means, you are going to enhence the value of your own website in an easy way.

I used this to: We use this module on the homepage (using joomla and artisteer) of a primary school to inform about "What is going on at our school". Kids, parents, staff as well as all other visitors can have a fast look to the latest news and can have very fast access via link within the news.

Ease of use

Owner's reply: Thank you Federico for the fair review. I know the extension is not perfect but my goal is to make it as good as it can be.
