Today Apollo Software released a new "jack of all trades" module, called MLAdvAnnouncements. First and foremost this is an advanced version of our free MLAnnouncements module, which has been arround for some time already (and which will stay available for free). The advanced features are:

• Different display modes, which allows the module to act as Annoucement, Links, FAQ, Image, or ImageLinks module
• Enhanced URL control, with image preview upon file selection
• Publish date for easy future publishing of items
• Expired and future items can easily be viewed by module editors
• Archived items can be made visible to all visitors
• More sorting options, which include publish date, expire date, alfabetical on item title, number of clicks (to allow a "most favorite" list), and manual sort order (the legacy "view order")
• FAQ view uses clientside collapsing and expanding of items, and includes an "Expand All" and "Collapse All" option
• You can add automatic numbering to items
• Add (or remove) publish dates to all titles with one click
• Optional automatic thumbnail generation
• Full support for IExportable, needed for importing and exporting modules and for use in portal templates
• Full support for ISearchable, needed for the DotNetNuke search function and module RSS feed.
• And of course... fully multi lingual. The multi lingual capabilities have been implemented in a quiet way: if your portal has only one installed language (ie. en-US), you will not see any of the multilingual options of the module.

The module is compiled against DNN 3.2.2, but is compatible with both DNN 3.0.13, 3.1.x and 4.x

You can try out the module for yourself at www.dnnlocalization.com/demo
