This is a modified clone of the core Joomla mod_articles_latest. The core module only delivers the linked title, but this clone does a whole lot more.

The module uses the shortcode layout system which will allow data object formatting in many ways.

Features

• Display article intro or fulltext image, or show default if neither are available
• Resize image using the selectable range of JImage::SCALE_ functions
• Display truncated text as intro text from the article
• Display meta objects, author, published date
• Add and rearrange each data object with placeholders [title][image][text] etc
• Preset layout and styling, selectable by drop select field.
• Item slideshow using JSSOR
• Pagination using jQuery plugin
• Category blog emulation to show Lead, Items and title links
