run above fileFollow the file modification in the README
File modifications: 1 Template modifications: 0 Installer: Yup. A very cool one. Phrased: Yup
In a nutshell, this module is based upon the vBa news module, but is instead set up to pull a pre specified 'Featured Article' or even a 'Random Article'. This is really designed for those using The Geek Article System. If you don't have The Geek Article System, you are most likely very lonely anyway.

Updated Readme to work with latest vBaCMPS

Fixed 'Excluded Forums' bug that appeared to have been bitten by Zombie.
It came back to haunt one user so I had to take drastic action and update it.
It now WORKS with your 'excluded forums' setting. That is to say, you can exclude your acticle forums from 'Latest topics' but they will still happily appear as a featured article.
Please note that this means there is now a file edit. Please read the README.
Check out the Readme that comes in the package.
note:if you dig this module, you may be interested in the Latest articles one too.
PS: Your template will be a tad different from my screen shot as this is for my style.

you do have the module active in vba right? (I only ask as this has happened before)
I used to use vbindex before vbadvanced - but I couldnt really help you there (though it really wouldnt be too hard as the mod file has most everything you need in it).
Ill try to keep this in mind for the next version
Yeah its a shame they should take that hack down since its not supported at all.

yup! i mentioned before that if i choose yes (featured articles) everything show up just fine (wont happen if its not active). just when i choose no (random one) the block dissapeared...
thanks for your time btw really aprreciate it.
You are not alone ikastara, I got the exact same problem like you. The feature article is ok, the random article no showing up at all, no matter how I adjusted...
thats a trip. Like I said - its what I use on my forum.
If you can PM me login details with admin access (only need access to cmps - nothing else) then I will look into it for you and sort it.
