I have used SOBI and have always been satisfied with this great free product. Now that we are using Joomla 1.5 and are upgraded to SOBI2, it is great to see that this component works well from the start. The only thing keeping this from being an "Excellent" rating is the fact that several plugins offered on the site appear to be buggy, but not impossible to use. Maybe the paid downloads will work better... and SOBI2 is worth a donation.

I installed JoomlaPack 1.1.1. which did not work correctly, giving an error message from the start. However, the support forum moderator was very helpful, giving me a new file a "development snapshot release, functionally equivalent to 1.2a2". This installed perfectly and worked correctly on the first try. So far the component is a winner and the support team is one of the best I have come across so far.

This component does exactly what it says it will do and more. It is almost exactly what we were looking for for our new site. The developer could use a bit more help perhaps in getting it totally translated to English, but the efforts thus far make it very understandable and easy to use.
