Laura presented the AiDa news module at the last Joomla meeting: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/latest-news/11652, which has all the features you could possibly want.

It may just be what you are looking for. You can display content from a section(s) or category(ies) as Lists, Slider or Fader. It's a great tool. Ciao`, Herb Herbert M.

I chose one of their themes to redesign the site for a client. I thought it would save me time, then I realized it's gonna make me WASTE time, trying to find a solution for a problem they created. This theme displays a Latest News area on the frontpage. Anyone who knows Joomla for a sometime time is led to believe it is the Latest News module placed in a position. AFTER purchasing the theme I found out it's a BIG FAKE. It uses some hard coding inside an article display this article as intros and nothing is created dynamically. A template should be a straight forward solution. The way it is, it's no life saver, but the Titanic! Others have complained about this and they recommend us to use K2 and figure it out by ourselves how to accomplish what should be there straight away. Unacceptable! Rocket Theme seems not to care for their customers AT ALL. I don't like dealing with a business that treats their costumers this way, after all, this is a PAID club. I will DEFINETELY NOT recommend it. I was warned by a Joomla Wizard not to use Rocket Theme. Now I understand why. -- Helvecio "Elvis" da Silva Rio de Janeiro - Brasil - [email protected]http://www.helvecio.com - http://blog.helvecio.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
