Great application, but for some reason I am not able to install onto XP. Works fine with Vista. I am using version 1.0.2.4, seems to install ok, I have installed .NET framework 2 SP2 / framework 3 SP2 / framework 3.5 SP1. Joomla Remote seems to install, but when I try to open it I get an error message saying it needs to close. I have uninstalled all .NET frameworks & Joomla Remote & installed all again - but no luck.

Anyone else had the same problem? Would really like to get this working on my XP machine as it looks like a good programme to have.

thanks

Where to start? Even for an initial release, this is a very polished and professional full-fledged desktop application, make no mistake about it! You wanted a one-click sync? You got it! I have only just today installed it and I still can't get over how the developers managed to pull this off. It can only get better! Watch the video on their site to see what you get with the Pro version ... full Admin Access! Kudos to the dev team!

I installed this extension 5 days ago and have used it for 4 days already!

This really speeds up the content creation process in Joomla. Sections, categories and articles are created from one screen, one area and the drag-and-drop menu creation for the articles are amazing!! I just create a new menu in Joomla then I let Joomla Remote handle the rest.

Great work...please keep going with this one!

Some observations (may clearly come out in later versions);

1. Menu manager
2. Better html editor, maybe capability of using JCE

Great job. Free Version had only one site. It does lay out all the menus and article nicely. I liked it and bought the premium version. Price is reasonable. Good Job

in its initial 1st release it is a good tool and plugin. I am able to edit my content items offline and synchronize once I am back online. The developer says that he plans to add other components in future releases. If that happens this would become a must have for Joomla! site admins.

i've installed the free version, and i am impresssed!

i have a client that seriously lacks up-to-date bandwidth.

the ability to build/edit articles on their own desktop will make for a excellent solution.

It is a good extension but if you dont check synchronise at startup you will get an error, at least did I get it and the application failed to start.

Later on I also get an error during the synchronization. For now I cant use it unless I reinstall.

Good try anyway and Im sure the next release will be great.
Owner's reply

We've resolved this bug in the new Version 1.0.1 Auto Update. Use Joomla Remote Updater in your Windows Start Menu to upgrade.

First Thoughts... Incredible!

This will save massive amounts of time creating/editing content and can be done anywhere you can take a laptop. You later synchronize when connected to the internet, similar to Dreamweaver.

I'm sure there will be issues/limitations as with all new releases but the quality has quite frankly blown me away. This is a professional tool, a real pleasure to use. I can't wait to see where it develops.

Respect to the development team...
