Installer: Yup. A very cool one.
Phrased: Yup
In a nutshell, this module is based upon the vBa news module, but is instead set up to pull a pre specified 'Featured Article' or even a 'Random Article'. This is really designed for those using The Geek Article System. If you don't have The Geek Article System, you are most likely very lonely anyway.
version 1.2 uploaded 02/02/05
Updated Readme to work with latest vBaCMPS
version 1.2 uploaded 07/01/05
Fixed 'Excluded Forums' bug that appeared to have been bitten by Zombie.
It came back to haunt one user so I had to take drastic action and update it.
It now WORKS with your 'excluded forums' setting. That is to say, you can exclude your acticle forums from 'Latest topics' but they will still happily appear as a featured article.
Please note that this means there is now a file edit. Please read the README.
Check out the Readme that comes in the package.
note:if you dig this module, you may be interested in the Latest articles one too.
PS: Your template will be a tad different from my screen shot as this is for my style.
