So basically, I wish to load a few article posts within a category to a module.
These article posts must be the latest 3 or so that have been published.
I have searched far and wide for answers, but I couldn't seem to find anything. I found an extension called 'Articles Anywhere', although I don't think it can do what I am asking exactly.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
From what you describe, Joomla has this module in core. It's called the Latest News module. You can read more about it at http://docs.joomla.org/Help25:Extensions_Module_Manager_Latest_News

I apologize if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer.
I created a main menu with several links to category featured articles and
I would like to assign one module to single article, not assign the modules to the menu positions but for example mod1->art1, mod2->art2... Unfortunately, I do not know how to do it. Does anyone know how to deal with it?
What you are looking for is a Joomla extension called "Advanced Module Manager".

This gives you a lot more options and flexibility for assigning modules to different things (including single articles).
The free version has worked just fine for all my sites.
Good luck.
I want to show the output of two components on one page in joomla 2.5, anyone knows how to do it plz tell me
It doesn't sound like you have even tried researching your problem/request. I went searched what you needed in Google and found a forum thread, and someone had posted this link:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/embed-a-include/8741
It's a plugin that allows you to include components using a syntax such as:
{component url='' }
Hope this helps, but in future please do a little research.
I'm wondering if there is an easy way to enable users to comment within a blog post in wordpress? For example, in Microsoft word, users can add comments within a article, I'm wondering if the same can be done to a wordpress blog post?
Is there a handy plugin?
What's the best way to go about creating one? Creating overlay with Ajax windows? Any starter code I can pull from?
Has anyone seen this done really well? Surprising that its not more prominent on the web.
I searched for a plugin, too. There WAS no WordPress plugin. So I've written my own, based on inlineDisqussions.
It's called "Inline Comments", try it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-comments/
My question is do widgets get in on any custom libraries that I add to a custom module? What I want to achieve is create a custom module and I want to add ability to generate pdf documents so I was thinking of making the pdf generation a widget as I would like to use that on another site. If I made it a module, would I be able to share the resources between my pdfmodule and any other module? Sometimes I wish there was a book written on pyrocms that clarifies these issues.
Sorry it took a month to spot this one, but we generally help out on the support forums and don't look here as often.
SO, cross loading resources. Yep that is supported just fine. We use the HMVC plugin for CodeIgniter and often forget that people don't know too much about how it works. I'll get something added to the documentation for this, but basically you just specify the module name like this:
$this->load->library('modulename/libraryname');
Hope this helps anyone finding this in the future. It's probably a bit late for Eagletrophy.
helo all!
i want to see the numbers of comments of any article on frontpage in joomla.
how can I add this plugin or module for the readers know the numbers of commments per article...
sorry for my english :D
Which component are you using for commenting? There are a bunch out there - in terms of displaying comments on the front page, I think you would probably have to contact that developer to see if they have a plugin to help with that, or write some code of your own to assist with that (it shouldn't be too hard - some templates have that functionality out of the box even).
Ultimately it will depend on which component and if the developer has already created something to go along with that plugin.
