Someday somebody will write a better implementation of the content item/place here module and people will go there and my fifteen minutes of fame will be over. But at the moment about 130 people per day come here to ignore my various rantings about space and scifi and other stuff and head more or less straight for the download page.

I need to confess something: I do not actually use the module myself. I wrote the first version about one and a half years ago and it was supposed to be a throwaway thingy for a specific, now defunct project. But then people looked for something like this and started asking for features and bugfixes and I invested a bit of time to make it work (as far as possible) for everyone. But keep in mind that I do not use it myself and therefore I do not actively hunt for errors. If something doesn’t work – which happend an number of times in recent weeks, since most of the module code is more than a year old and is sometimes at odds with recent versions of Joomla – I will probably not be aware of it until you tell me. I will fix everything that is possible to fix, but you need to tell me what went wrong (and possibly include your Joomla Version, PHP Version, MySql Version and operating system in the description. And if the error occured after you changed module parameters I should know this, too).

I’m just mentioning this because a user alerted me to an error that turned up when the module is used to display categories (apparently is occurs only with recent Joomla versions) that is so severe that I wonder how people got along with the module so far. This is hopefully fixed now.
