I have had lots of experience with XOOPS News modules. I have also had many frustrations in the past with the lack of features users of these types of modules require. Well I am now a happy camper, this new News 1.3.1.1 does it all. So far I have not found it lacking one thing, I will keep look though. Well done to all those who worked on this module. Perfect...nearly as I can tell.

I have tested this module on my website and i must admit that its having lots of useful features. I no longer need to use the Spotlight module to display news on frontpage.

However there are some minor changes i would like to see. For instance the news blocks could be made accessible from the module admin, because it is quite frustrating when I have to go to the blocks admin area everytime i need to change the top story. Better if we can write as the main story while posting the story itself.

Also i found out that the tabs for the spotlight blocks cannot be modified easily. I couldn't get rid of the orange color in the tabs menu.

Otherwise this module is very good and now we can start thinking of creating a newswebsite using XOOPS for the first time!

i find a bug
when i changed block options/new news block/ show 10 to 50 news or show lenght this block not show !
