Installed module xmnews1.7.0-Alpha on Xoops 2.5.11-RC2. I really liked it.

Much of what I added and wanted to do in the "news" module is already in this module.https://www.cpv.ru/

The only thing missing is the $block.spotlight functionality from the news_block_top block.

And this limits my use of this module. Is it possible to include such functionality in future versions?


P.S. On my website, the image in the top news block is displayed automatically. I don't need to choose them with my own hands, as in the "news" module.
Added to display an image of the latest news:
$news['picture'] = XOOPS_URL . '/downloads/news/image/' . $history->picture();
$news['pictureinfo'] = $story->picture information();
Another necessary code has been added.
