We are happy to announce the release of the version 3.5.9 (AJAX) of AJ article listing module for Joomla 1.5.x.

Download it now for only $10 (USD) - No Refunds -

Some of the features included in AJ Article Listing 3.5 are:

• Rendering of Menus via AJAX (shows a Loading Icon + Loading message when server is sluggish, busy or when user's internet connection is slow).
• Caching of Section, Category and Article names displayed on the menus. Cache is automatically created and destroyed as needed, so it's free of maintanance.
• Uses SEF URLs only when they're needed, taking the value provided in the Joomla! Global Configuration SEF parameter (preventing possible conflicts shown on the previous version in some Joomla configurations when SEF was deactivated).
• Allow displaying multiple instances of AJ Article Listing module on a single page more efficiently than previous version (single load of required JS libraries).
• Pre-defined Menu modes, such as: 
  
  1. Section > Categories > Articles
  2. Section > Categories
  3. Categories > Articles
  4. Only Sections
  5. Only Categories
  6. Only Articles
• Option to include and exclude sections, categories or articles from selected IDs.
• Show or Hide submit button.
• Option for cutting off long menu items at a specified number of characters.
• Individual sorting method for Sections, Categories and Articles
• Vertical or Horizontal layout.
• CSS parameters in the module configuration (with default values) for drop down menus and submit button.
• Multi-language compatibility via easy access to the labels from the module configuration or by using the language files (default en-GB provided).
• A parameter for controlling the way articles are listed, 1 or 2 columns, etc.

Version 3.5.3 fixes a small bug regarding SEF compatibility.

Version 3.5.2 fixes a bug regarding SEF compatibility.

Version 3.5.1 fixes a bug regarding sorting the menus.

This module lists all articles in a chosen section/category by using two drop-down menus OR a specific article eq. section/category/article by using three drop-down menus.

Version 3.2.1 includes a fix for a specific bug when Joomla's SEF is on (it was only triggered when certain conditions were present in some sites, so upgrading may not be requireed for sites already using version 3.2, new installations are encouraged to install the latest version).

Some of the changes on version 3.2 include:

* Uses SEF URLs only when they're needed, taking the value provided in the Joomla! Global Configuration SEF parameter (preventing possible conflicts shown on the previous version in some Joomla configurations when SEF was deactivated).

Use the "Linked Menu" parameter to allow formatting on the result page. This can be done be creating a Section or Category blog menu item (or using an existing one), setting up its parameters, then you have to provide the menu id into the "Linked Menu" parameter field. This will control the way articles are listed, 1 or 2 columns etc.

Plans for a future version include retrieving the Categories & Articles via AJAX.
