We are happy to announce the release of our new 'News Tab' module.

This module allows you to display links to your Joomla news articles in a series of tabs, a format popular with many news websites. The module supports articles both from the Joomla core content component and from Mighty Extensions Resources.

We are happy to announce the launch of our new Featured Items Slideshow module. This module is a great way to enliven your Joomla! news articles, and encourage visitor click-through.

This module can display images from your Joomla! articles as a slideshow, with a caption taken from the text, and a link to the articles. It has some really handy features:-

• The module is smart, it can find articles with images automatically. You can just select a category, and it will find the articles and the images in them, without you needing to add anything to the articles themselves;
• articles without images will not be displayed in the slideshow;
• You can choose the number of articles, plus from a variety of orderings, including title order, most recently modified or created, number of hits, or random;
• Alternatively, you can select specific articles only to display in the slideshow;

All our featured items modules now include integration with JomSocial and Mighty Extensions People Touch. The modules can be used to display articles by the profiled user whenever a user profile is viewed.

Featured Items is our base module, it displays extracts from selected Joomla articles with article thumbnails. Featured Items Pro displays article extracts and image thumbnails in a variety of formats, including thumbnails and tab-panes, while Featured Items Carousel displays article extracts and thumbnails in a carousel.

These highly versatile modules allow you to feature Joomla 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, or used to display a random article.
