The download link leads to a BSA-page. The download there is an empty .zip file. The real file is found under the NOC link.

Thanks for mentioning this. I wasn't aware of the problem. But yeah, you should get it from the NOC anyway.

There's a small problem with the new Community Modules database here that makes the link in the upper right corner confusing. When a module developer fills out the form, he is asked for "Vendor Website"; that's the link actually used for "Downloads" above right. There is also a "Download" field, but I don't believe it's being used here.

For the moment I've put the download URL into the Vendor Website field so that the link above functions as expected.

The issues with the download URL should now be fixed. Templates have been adjusted.

Wow! icon_eek

I was out of the PostNuke website stuff for a long while, and see WhatsNews is back! I did a smal bit of Beta testing for WahtsNews ans like dit many years ago, and was very sad when it was left in Linmg. Oliver took it, nurtured it, and made it really great! he took lots of his time and made it really the best News module ever! I was sad when he did not have the time to continue and see he and others took this News Module and brought it out into the sunshine,. If anyone has neve rused this they are in for a real treat! I saw payware that never came close to the brillance of this news module. (though I have to admit, I have not tried this since it was in Beta a couple years back, so I have no clue what changes have been made since...).

Thanx guys!
