AllNews Module shows a list of (ordered/related/upcoming) articles with introtext, image, author, category, hits, rating, comments... It can be used with standard Joomla's content, but some options will only be available with FLEXIcontent.

This module was first created by Micker and Thierry S. The module automatically detects if FLEXIcontent has been installed on the site and shows you different parameters accordingly, so you can use it on "normal" Joomla sites too.

Features:
* Show article's title, introtext, hits, rating (total or average), image, date, author(name or username), category, comments
* Limit to Category(/ies) or Section(s)
* Choose wheter to show only frontpage articles, all but those or both of them.
* It can be used as a "Related Articles" module, without losing any of its capabilities. (You can combine the options, so you can order the articles related to the one shown, limit them by category, section... or even show articles written in the last X days only!)
* Possibility of toggling and styling every part of the module for a custom output
* Ready to go, as the default options already give you a nice look that can be used on any site
* Possibility of adding a custom link at the bottom of the module, so that you can redirect your users to a custom category or link
* Different ordering methods: Creation Date, Last Modified, Hits, Rating, Alphabetically, Reverse Alphabetically, Custom Order, Random and "Upcoming Events", that displays articles based on the date they will be unpublished
* Possibility of limiting the output to the last X days (So that you can display last week's most visited articles, for example), or to skip the first X articles (to avoid showing an article that is already being shown by another module, or to pile more than one allnews module with different display options)
* Multi-Language backend (Italian, English and French supported at the moment). Every string of text on the frontend can be edited right from the module's backend, with no need of manually editing any file.
*JoomFish support (only if FLEXIcontent is installed). Language files supported on frontend.
* Possibility of shortening the title or the introtext if it's too long.
