swMenuFree is NOT Good ! by cpchan, January 6, 2007
1 of 7 people find this review helpful:
Because it doesn't have clear procedures or manual so that we can :

(1) Integrate our newly created swMenuFree menu into our Joomla! web page, and

(2) It doesn't tell me how to create and how to implement a swMenuFree menu system of multi-languages, but I saw it before (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese).

No manual, no implementation procedures !


Owner's reply:
Full 23 page color manual in pdf format has been available for a few months now for swMenuFree plus a support forum with thousands of posts and solutions at http://www.swonline.biz

Dont Look any further by jmccann, December 11, 2006
I was needing an extension that would allow me to build Drop Down menus. I looked at other options and experimented with them in futile attempts to get drop downs onto my site.
This component is a double thumbs up. The installation was simple and it is so easy to get professional looking drop downs without ever leaving the Compments admin back end and going to hack land. The supporting documentation and online help is excellent.

Don't go wasting your time as I did trying to find a better menuing component. This should be part of the Joomla core.

Well done.


5 stars indeed! by Kidsphoenixx, December 7, 2006
I had tried quite a few of the menu modules. I thought the modules would be easier than a component... I was wrong!
This component was a breeze to install, and the admin interface made setting it up to my needs very simple. The Preview ability is just wonderful! No doubt it has capabilities beyond my basic needs, but it did exactly what I wanted...with a minimum of stress. Now my main menu looks/works so much neater ( and so much nicer!)
Thank you SWMenuFree!


WOW!!! by FidelGonzales, December 2, 2006
It is unbelievable how extensive and easy this component is to install and configure. It took only a handful of minutes to figure out how to use it. I was impressed with the extensive configuration parameters and the ease by which this is done through a component that allows you to preview changes prior to implementing them. It is amazing to fathom that this component is free and eliminates requirement of knowledge and time it takes to first configure CSS files and then create extensive menu IDs when manually creating menu links through Joomla for such components as Virtuemart, which could have hundreds or thousands of categories. This module could save hours or even days. About the only con I have seen in the 45 minutes I have used this free menu system is option for an expandable menu, which is referrenced below. Otherwise, I am quite surprised at how long this component has been around and the few views and reviews it has. I am curious how this menu performs under the eyes of search engines and load speed. The pro version has many more menu options and is priced reasonably for developers.


Amazing FREE component! by yaoliu, November 30, 2006
Having tried several dropdown menus, I've found this one is by far the best among free stuff and was amazed by how easy to set it up. Highly recommand it! Definitely five stars from me.


Simply awesome. by Toni Marie, November 11, 2006
Fastest DHTML creation I've ever done. I've got intermediate CSS skills and I can manage certain DHTML solutions... but I find a lot of the menu extensions for Joomla to be too complex or confusing for me.

I was able to get swMenu working for me in MINUTES. I will be purchasing Pro for all my professional sites!


Great Product! by TheSaint, November 1, 2006

This is a great product, lots of options and is fairly straightfoward to hack without having to learn a lot of coding or messing around. The interface on the admin panel is a snap. Five stars.


Very Good... by nathandiehl, August 1, 2006
I've tried a lot of menu modules...in fact, I tried this one about a year ago and didn't like it for some reason. But I recently tried it again, and WOW. It does everything it will. It is very easy to customize css automatically using buttons via the backend component manager. Beautiful menus are produced, and the options available via the backend are immense.
The one drawback--it does NOT valdate w3 for html compliance. You have to upgrade to the PRO version to get a validating menu.


Good Module & Component by fugazer, March 27, 2006
Good work done with this module and component.. Simple user interface makes it a snap to configure.. It didnt take much trial and error to get this running how i wanted it.. I'll have to say its probably the best dynamic menu avail on the extensions site..


Missing expandable menus by Sylvaticus, March 25, 2006
It really is good module/component, but it's missing the option of making an expandable menu.
