A module extension for the the Joomla 1.5 CMS. It displays a short excerpt from articles in a selected category or section, or from a specified list of articles, with link and optional thumbnail image.

Usage. Install the module using the Joomla installer. Enable it using the module manager.

This highly versatile module allows you to feature articles picked by id, by section or by category. The articles can be ordered in a variety of ways, including by the number of hits, or by the modification date, allowing the module to function like the 'latest news' module, or like the 'most read' module, as well as displaying individually chosen articles.

The module displays a thumbnail plus an extract from the text with a link to the article for each item. The items can be displayed in a variety of layouts, including lists, tab panes, an accordion or thumbnails only. There is a choice of colour schemes.

The module can use GD graphics for improved thumbnail quality. The administrator can set the length of the article excerpt either by setting the number of characters or the number of sentences.

Version 2.0 now features integration with Joomsuite Resources. It also allows the use of comment tags to display special information about the article (see documentation).
