It's true that such a conversion (wp to elxis) would give a lot of positive feedbacks to community! We just let it go for now as there are more urgent tasks need to be done till then.

Just to inform that a Joomla to Elxis and Wordpress to Elxis is already done for elxis 2009.x. Shortly It will be available for elxis 4.x too.

What do you mean by saying "evidence"? For example this: "A way to can put in evidence an article" makes no sense.

Sorry, I mean highlight.  This should be the right term.
Then
3) A way to highlight an article
4) A way to can show all the highlighted article a single page where I can choose to show all the highlighted article from all the categories or all the highlighted article from a single category.

Highlight is already supported. Just use the "q" option in the URL for any string you want.

Example on Elxis DOCs site with word "database" highlighted:
https://www.elxis.net/docs/using-elxis/getting-started/installation-guide.html?q=database

Sorry datahell but I don't want to hightlight a word . What I mean is a flag in the backend like "mark to be shown" and then a way to show all the maked article (that can be marked in different categories) in a page or only the marked article of a specified category.
I hope I was clear this time.

[datahell]

I believe what you ask for is to mark articles with a special flag (featured for example) and then display these articles in a special page. Is this correct?

Something else: The custom date format requested by users here is under development. It is not exactly "custom" but will do what you want. The date time is now (Elxis 4.2) be displayed with the html5 tag <time> and with the custom date format option the generated date has html like this:

<time datetime="2014-05-23 09:20:14">
            <span class="wday">Fri</span>
            <span class="day">03</span>
            <span class="month">May</span>
</time>

The exact html is generated by Elxis automatically. For a date in this week:

<time datetime="2014-06-02 09:20:14">
            <span class="wday">Mon</span>
            <span class="time">09:20</span>
            <span class="month">Jun</span>
</time>

An other example for a date in previous year:
<time datetime="2013-11-24 12:20:14">
            <span class="month">Nov</span>
            <span class="day">03</span>
            <span class="year">2013</span>
</time>

I think the above html fullfils your requests. You can now provide special style on it via CSS. Additional CSS classes added in standard.css: wday, day, month, year, time

Correct. Just a little heads up about the availability to can choose all the featured article from all the categories or from a specified one.

Another request:

Availability to can put image icon as menu item not only text  (For menu items I can choose to have only image , only text , image + text).  If is possible the availability to can add background color too for each menu items without modify css.
Thanks

Request for v4.2:

The possibility to insert plugins in the category description (ck editor area).

I'd like to use some image and email plugins. Right now doesn't work in this area.

Many thanks

[datahell]

Just to remind you that you can insert modules in category page.

[maple]

Hi datahell,

I know, I've done this. Perhaps sometimes insert a module is too much and a little more work. It's more easy and quick to insert the plugin directly to category description area.

thanks

Another 2 Request:

1) Availability to reset the stat of article count hits.
2) Availability to can decide the image dimension that I add in the detail article as primary image.

[datahell]

Why to reset the hits counter, this will make the counter fake.

You can set images size from component content parameters.
