It would be nice this feature, and as I see very requested. In fact, for this widget (that I assumed it was automatic) was that I decided to subscribe to yoothemes

i use the last 3 years this feeware tool mod_news_pro_gk3_j15 and pay now for yootheme to have commercial tools like showing revista newsportal.

i read this right and understand with my bad english, thats NOT possible to have an automaticly refresh of actual news in the slideshow.

Who need a tool there are must manuel update everyx day after spend a lot of time for the content and the articles?

and predator you have every day two ways... see to the mod_news_pro_gk4! Its work! from tomoorow in my yootheme-template

Hello mustaq, thanks for your answer! First, sorry for my english if it isn't good, I'm Italian. Maybe, in my post, I've not explained well: I've seen,in the Revista Theme demopackage, that the widgetkit (id=48 "Frontpage Gallery Slideshow" in position top-a) isn't dynamic. I mean that the articles have been entered manually (image,title,content and "read more" button). I wish that the widgetkig loaded the content (last article entered in the site ) dynamically. Otherwise I should change manually title and image in the Frontpage Gallery Slideshow everytime that I write a new article. Now, I don't know if don't understand very well how this widgetkit can do what I mean or if it can't do it.

Thanks!

I too have this mystery. Downloaded Revista 2.5 thinking the slideshow and the NewsTicker were automatically fed with content of the latest articles or articles from categories or whatever selection chriteria one chooses, but unfortunatly I am not able to figure this out. Gavick for example has an extension (mod_news_pro_gk4_J!25) that enables the publisher to set the source, selection criteria (date, category etc.) and many other settings.

Do I have to get the Gavick extension or is this solution already available to us with yootheme? if possible then is there a HOW-TO instructions to use and where to find it?

thanks for the help

me too

Yep, this is a big let down. It should already be a default option for years. And I miss a lot of other options, like different button set-ups/positions etc. But not being possible to automatically bind the latest published articles in any kind of the slide-show is lame. Sorry. There is no other way to put it.

It should be possible as long as your clear your Joomla Cache, then you will see you new Article.

Update:

I mean that the articles have been entered manually (image,title,content and "read more" button). I wish that the widgetkig loaded the content (last article entered in the site ) dynamically. Otherwise I should change manually title and image in the Frontpage Gallery Slideshow everytime that I write a new article. Now, I don't know if don't understand very well how this widgetkit can do what I mean or if it can't do it.

The Gallery has no Option to "Create from Joomla" so you cannot create content automatically. The Slideshow and Accordion Widgets can do this, but because the WK Content is cached, you have to clear caches in Joomla manually to see the new content.
