    Can anyone tell me where to get the module that shows all the recent articles on the frontpage?

    Like some pro websites have a thumbnail picture with a brief part of the description.

    If anyone could link me or tell me where to get a module that does that it would help me sooo much!

    Do you mean an RSS feed or a module for a CMS? You need to be a little more specific of what system your currently using...

    Have used the News Show GK3 module on many sites, its free but you have to register to download it. It has many options to customize what info is displayed.

    If you're just wanting to show recent articles, then use the default Joomla module called mod_latestnews. Enable the mod, and set it to display on the front page. Then setup it's placement, and you should be good to go. You can set sections and categories for the module to display, if you only want certain parts to be displayed. If you need anymore help setting this up, feel free to drop me a PM and i'll be more than happy to assist!
