Great idea, disappointing implementation

Fredz (23).
Posted on 20 January 2011

It's a great idea. But after hours of mucking about I'm no wiser. It just didn't work.

The plugins are confusing and there is no explanation that I can see as to the need to match a plug in versions against the core version.

Simulation didn't work. It insisted that the (valid) user ID entered wasn't valid. So there seems no way to test anything.

I'd pay for the "pro" version if I could get an absolute guarantee that it'd work. Alas, the "free" version isn't an encouraging introduction.

My head hurts. I'm going to stop now...

Owner's reply: Hi Fred,

Infact there is a commercial support subscription available if you need it ! You can buy it at the website & our support team can easily set it up for you.

Have you read the detailed documentation here : http://techjoomla.com/table/jmailalerts.-cms-delivered-via-email/#documentation

We understand the extension can be confusing due to its great versatility & we have tried to make it as easy as possible to understand & use. If you read the docs throughly , you should not have any issues.

Regarding Plugins, its simple. The 1.X version of the component & plugins are depreciated. use the latest version in the 2.X series. Since we have over 20 plugins for the extension we are working out a better way to maintain them on the site to present them to uses in a better way.

Do reconsider your review & give it a shot again or contact us to let us help you set it up.

thanks

J!MailAlerts is a powerful communication tool that I use for my community site. The installation is easy and strait forward for any Joomla User. The set up does have some speed bumps, but the documentation and forums have plenty of info to get you going. I have had to contact support for a few issues, and they have gone above and beyond what I was expecting. We are sure to see great things come out of this component in future versions.

Best avoid

After spending a couple of hours trying to get this to work, i had to give up. It is so badly put together, badly documents and lacks structure. I have to agree with the comments of the first critical review below that says it is best to stick with joomla's email.

Owner's reply: I dont know how you can compare it to Joomla's Email ! this Is a completely different solution. Also there are hundreds of users who are successfully using this. I would suggest you read the documentation or use our Forum for Community for support.. If you need professional Support get a Support subscription..

Nice extension - be sure to get the latest version

There were some showstoppers in earlier versions, but the developer has been active in the forums and addressed all my concerns.

I'm using this component along with EventList to send announcements about new events to users.

I have some issues with setup using Firefox 4, but with production browsers the component and plugin work fine.

There were some initial issues with the cron job but that is also working fine now (version 2.01).

If you use Eventlist, this is a great addition. You can also create a Joomla menu item for users to edit their subscription preferences, using the standard Joomla menu tools.

The component has many other plugins too - for Kunena Forum (latest posts etc), Phoca Gallery, Community Builder...

Now that 2.01 is out this is highly recommended.

At Last ! The Component I've been looking for

Posted on 24 November 2010

Really pleased to find an automatic email component - perfect for young forums and community sites where you have to work at getting users to return regularly.

The Component was easy to install and set up - documentation was straight forward. Based on Cron jobs which people seem to have problems with but the component delivers.

Has potential

They have a good idea and could be a great product for jomsocial and community builder but sadly its half baked. They should have finished developing it before releasing it.

If they fix the problems with it, this could be a 5 star product.

Owner's reply: Hi Trance,

What are the issues you have been having with the extension ? Note that this is a little more complicated to configure than your average newsletter system & also understand how it works..I suggest you post on the community forums to get your issues solved as we have several users who are using it without an issue.

Cool Idea poor Product

J!mailAlerts could be the coolest product for Joomla! in a long time. But no support, and no flexibility makes the product useless.

There is no developer documentation, so if you are looking to add support for you favorite joomla extension just forget about it.

You will honestly be better off just spending the hour or two a week it will take to make a fully custom News Letter and using Joomla's built in mass email features.

Owner's reply: Dear jthm0138,

We have provided great flexibility already in the product by providing plugin support. Adequate user documentation has also been provided. As said in our Release , we shall be providing developer documentation only after a month from release since we are refining it.

The requirements you had posted on the forum need custom development of additional plugins.. This you can do once the developer doc is out.

That plugins cant be copied is a Joomla Architectural constraint. To overcome this future versions will have support for modules as well.

As for support , if you need fast support via tickets, we have as support subscription available. We have made this product free & community supported via forums so that more people can benefit from it. But fast support is available commercially if you need it.
