This extension with its showy, reflective image display would get an excellent rating except for a couple of glitches we experienced - one of which makes the product unsuitable for commercial use.
We initially installed a demo version pending approval from our client. The demo version installed smoothly and worked well. Once the client approved the demo, we purchased a commercial version.
1. When the commercial version was uploaded, it wiped out database entries made to the demo version, requiring several hours of additional work to replace the entries. Fortunately, we had a back-up in place, but we still lost some work.
2. Contrary to claims by the developer, the "MyJoomlaPlace" advertising link was NOT removed from the purchased version. It is still prominently displayed on the screen. This makes the product unsuitable for commercial use, so we will not be purchasing it again.
3. There has been no response to a polite, e-mail query sent to the developer several days ago, so the product does not appear to be well supported.
On the plus side, the extension installed easily, is fairly easy to administer, offers considerable flexibility combined with an eye-catching display, and would probably be suitable for non-commercial applications.
But until the MyJoomlaPlace advertising link is either removed - or made very discreet - in the purchased version, it is not suitable for commercial use.
