The good news is that the latest release of K2, the popular content extension for Joomla!, is now compatible with Joomla 1.7.

Our Featured Items range of modules have now been adapted to work with K2 running on Joomla 1.7.

These modules allow you to display selected Joomla and K2 articles in a variety of formats, including tab panes, accordions, carousels and slideshows. The modules are designed to allow you the greatest possible flexibility in the way you select your Joomla articles, either selecting from one or more categories or sections, or displaying your chosen list of articles. These articles can be displayed in a variety of orderings, and you can choose the exact amount of text to display, ranging from a short extract to the entire article text. You also control whether or not to display a thumbnail, and the thumbnail size.

The modules also have a number of other useful features, including the ability to dynamically resize and cache images, and to trigger content plugins. As well as displaying content from the Joomla Core Content component, the modules can display articles from Mighty Extensions Resources and K2, and we plan to support additional CCKs in the future.

Existing customers who have bought one of the modules in the past year can download the latest release using their existing download id.
