Sorry about having to follow so many links, but it is the only way I could think to sensibly allow multiple versions of the module to be posted and also maintain the appropriate documentation.

                 (c) published, and
                 (d) approved.

+ Add: optional 'Category Filter' - if current Joomla 'page' being viewed is a SOBI2 Component Category View, then only 'Featured Entries' assigned to a Category matching the currently viewed Category are displayed.
+ Add: optional 'Category Filter - zero override' - If Category Filter is 'On' but zero 'Featured Entries' would be displayed as a result of the Filter, then the Filter is ignored.
+ Add: module configuration description has link to module 'Home Page' on SOBI Forum.

mod_sobi2featured - download v1.0.9
============================

Version 1.0.9 is available for download below at the end of this posting
(download only visible to registered and logged in SOBI2 Forum Members)

Version 1.0.9
==========
+ Add: optional display of Module Execution Time
For performance analysis of large SOBI databases with large number of 'Featured Entries'. (Please advise module Author if Module Execution time exceeds 1 second).

+ Add: optional "Enable Joomla SEF URL's"
Because of problems with Joomla 1.5 RC1 and RC2, v1.0.8 of the module did not output Joomla SEF URL's. However, some people wanted this feature. With v1.0.9 Joomla SEF URL's can be enabled or disabled. The default setting is "Off" so people with other SEF components such as OpenSEF and Artio can experiment with the setting that best suits their needs.

+Add: optional Content Title
If the Joomla Module "Show Title" is set to "Yes" then the module title is displayed regardless of if there are any 'Featured Entries' to be displayed. The new 'Content Title' will only be displayed if it contains user-specified text and if there are 'Featured Entries' to display. Suggested use is with Joomla Module "Show Title" set to "No" and appropriate text such as "Featured Listings" entered in the 'Content Title'. Use Joomla Site Template to style 'Content Title' text. Minimal CSS Selector is;
div.sobi2Featured div.contenttitle {myCSS}

! Change: Re-write of algorithm for selection of 'Featured Entries'. Previous algorithm produced incomplete results and the larger the number of 'Featured Entries', the more obvious the erroneous results of the previous algorithm became.

# Bugfix: Incorrect sorting for "Entry created" now fixed.

mod_sobi2featured - download v1.0.10
=============================

Version 1.0.10 is available for download below at the end of this posting
(download only visible to registered and logged in SOBI2 Forum Members)

Version 1.0.10
===========
+ Add: Module Parameters - Custom Code - Pre-text and Post-text
Enable Administrator custom code (text, HTML, Javascript, etc) to be output before and/or after 'standard' module output.

+ Add: Module Parameters - Show Module in SOBI Views
If 'Hide' is set, module produces no output in SOBI Details, and/or Category, and/or Search Views.

+ Add; Module Parameter - Use SQL 'LIKE' Operator with Featured Entry Key value
Default setting is SQL '=' Operator, only SOBI Entries which exactly equal 'Featured Entry' Key value are selected as 'Featured' Entries. If this parameter is set to 'Yes' then SQL 'LIKE' Operator syntax can be used for 'Featured Entry' Key value.

These 3 features were added at the request of SOBI2 User 'Charlynancy' who assisted with module coding and testing.
