Easy to install and very good support
Can you help?
1. Placement of feed materials in the text of news, not only in a separate block.
2. View the original image. Full size.
3. Support embed downloads.
Sorry for machine translation into English.
This is my 22nd mod from Modzzz and I am even more impressed with their support and products.
Keep up the good work Modzzz
he's one of the best and never have problems with his mods works as it says all the time!
Great Job keep up the awesome work! 10+
Another great mod and worth every cent paid for it. Installed in a few minutes with no problem exporting and importing the existing news bulletins etc.. No data lost...
It save a lot of time updating news etc...
Could you please advise as to how I can do so? If I could set each category to pull articles from a different rss feed that would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Easy to install and to use. Modzzz is giving very good support and I am very happy with the 8 modules I have bought so far from him.
