 CQI (Custom Quick Icons) is the replacement for the standard admin module 'quick icons' for faster access to the most needed/wanted components.
Define which component you ever want for quick access, assign icons you like. Restrict access, rename, access keys - many options ...
With the installation a component and a module will be installed and automatically activated (standard module is only inactiv). If you ever decide to DEinstall CQI, your former standard module will be activated again
--------------------------------------------------------

Definierung beliebiger Komponenten, Namen, Icons, Berechtigungen ... etliche Einstellmögichkeiten. Mit der Installierung wird das Standardmodul INaktiv geschaltet. Sollte CQI jemals wieder deinstalliert werden, wird das vorige Standardmodul automatisch wieder aktiviert

| CQI vs Extension Icons by joemcl, April 13, 2008 |

I'm quite new to Joomla- neat stuff here! So I wanted to see what each of these components do.
"Extension Icons": what it does- working only with components- it does very well, although its icons are very small (someone more clever than I could probably figure out how to enlarge them). It was just too limited for my uses.
CQI also has its limits. For instance, I have J Cal Pro installed, and I wanted to set up an icon to go directly into the Events Manager- no luck (again- I'm a newbie- maybe someone here can help me with it!). But it beats using the main menu.
Nevertheless, I was able to set up a Control Panel that has the ONLY icons they need- no more navigating through the main menu.
One thing alone makes it worthwhile- I have a big, fat Global Checkin icon for those inevitable, irritating times when you accidentally use the Back arrow on the browser instead of X/Close/Cancel. It is a very useful program- my thanks to the developers. |

Thank. If you try and administer your site from a PDA/Smartphone there are bits that are either a pain to get to or absolutely impossible, like modules. This makes it possible to put in icons to get to those impossible to reach places. |

This is one of the first things I install on a new site. Though there are a couple of things that bug me about it. Like the default icon for a new article is a big red cross. I guess the idea is so that you can see it's been changed, but it annoys me having to go in and change that one every time I install when it is one of the icons I don't plan to change.
Still full marks to the dev, this is a great addition to your site and really easy to use. |

One of the 5-6 extensions we install immediately on every joomla site. Just that good and a practical necessity if you have any normal clients who may need to use the admin functions.
Any plans to make it J1.5 compatible? Please, please? The component already installs fine on Khepri, but the module install seems to have a small bug. We need this on J1.5!
Kudos to the developer for a terrific contribution. |
| Great Component by tlearyus, January 23, 2008 |

don't you just love the Joomla Community !! Needs get filled by common requirements.
this component works well as stated but my only question is how to add more than 12 icons ? |

Holy Cow!
I am using Joomla more and more to quickly bring up sites for charity/non-profit groups and organizations. Rather than taking on the task of managing their content full time, I am bringing Content Developers up to speed with the back end interface for managing the stories and calendars, etc.
With QuickIcons, I can both simplify and expand the QuickIcons section, making it that much easier for the Content Developers to stay focused on the task at hand, creating and maintaining relevant content for their group.
This is the best thing that I've put up on the sites for those new to the Joomla environment. |

The back end of my site has to be accessed by various people with various levels of computer skills. Quick Icons makes it easy to have a specific icon going to a specific place (like processing users who paid their dues, or adding content to specific categories or sections). This way, I just tell someone to log in, click on the appropriate icon, and they go straight to the proper place with no confusion.
Plus it helps me with the areas I access the most. I can get rid of icons I'm not using, and get them back easily if needed. |
| Really nice product by JoomlaShowroom, September 18, 2007 |

I'm a firm believer that if you use someone's extension then you should be courteous enough to leave a review for them.
This module was very easy to use and set up. On my sites I have an extremely long list of components that I need to access very frequently. This module gave me the ability to put some links to my components on the admin homepage of my sites. Making my job so much easier and more productive. I can't believe it took me so long to try it out. This is a must for anyone that needs some easy ways to access your components in a hurry instead of scrolling through a long list of components to find what you need.
Thank you for this! |
| Great! And support is great, tool! by amasters, May 4, 2007 |

I installed this wonderful extension and had the same problem a previous reviewer did in that my icons disappeared. So I wrote to Michael and he was incredibly fast to respond and fixed it right away. My problem was that it got published to the wrong position. The correct position is "icon." Now I've created two new quickicons and life is so good... I made a customQuickicon for its own administration icon "list" so now I don't have to search through the list of components anymore.
It only took a few minutes of messing around to figure out how to make new icons, too.

| Better than ever by LocaLiceR, April 13, 2007 |

This new version is better than ever. ^5
Much easier to use for a new user, because you just have to select the desired component from the drop down list and press the arrow button and specify the additional details. |
| Nice Module and Component by Grebog, February 28, 2007 |

This is a very easy to install and setup module and component, and even easier when you follow the instructions in the Readme file. I like that it also does not just blow away the standard quickicon setup, just creates a new custom quickicon that you can publish and unpublish the standard. This is fairly straight forward and easy to setup and use. If you have a lot of components or modules you access frequently, then I recommend this one for you to install and use. |
| Does what it says, and well. by botrsteven, January 22, 2007 |
|
You've gotta love an extension that has a clear purpose, is easy to use, and does just what it says it will do. The only thing about this that could be better would be if it didn't make you grab the URL of the component. But it's a small price. |

This is a nice thing to install, but upon UNinstallation I find I have NO icons whatsoever. Apparently, this doesn't reinstate the original Joomla quick icons when it is removed. Ouch! Owner's reply: Hello,
normally post only at the forge, but to give a quick reply here: CQI does NOT deinstall your standard module.
Therefore if you are not able to find your 'original' icons module, guess you deleted it by yourself?
If you UNinstall CQI, just make the standard module active - or do that step before, does no matter if both modules are activated (you will see only many icons ....) |

Install icons on the control panel for frequently used tools. This is really a nice feature. Install easily, works well. Highly recommend for backend users. |
