I should admit that there are a few glitches but they are not a problem because these guys offer one of the best customer service I've ever seen. Just open a ticket and they get back to you within an hour.

Inserting an image, embedding a video is very easy. You can create tags on the go. What else would you expect from a blog component?

At first you may be disappointed by seeing a few minor problems. But don't forget that it is difficult to have a plug-and-play kind of extensions in Joomla..

I am very satified both with product and with the superb support.

If you can get this bridge and G2 working, it's great.
But the supports from both gallery2 and bridge side are extremely bad. I searched the whole forums, nothing related to my problem..Actually there are some related posts, but they were not solved. My post have been replied after months in both Gallery2 and Brige forum. Very poor documentation, very scattered forums. If you want this gallery, you are on youw own. And if you are expert level php programmer, there is nothing you can do. And I heard they have a bug related with Joomla 1.013 login process. It's not working with this version of Joomla

This extension is really impressive. I am newbie in Joomla, that's why I might be exaggerating but this tool looks to be very powerful, yet very easy to use and flexible. At first all those field groups, fields, directories, criteria look to be very confusing and cumbersome but once you establish them, they are very helpful. I have been trying JReviews about a week now and it became the heart of my site. I downloaded it for the features outlined in the descriptions. But I found more than that.

I needed very bad a News component which would allows users contributions in frontend. We want to be a colloborative alternative collective media platform. We don't want any moderator/admin interception approval etc. We don't want regular registered users to bother about page setup/layout details etc. We want everyone to contribute. So even a grandpa should easily enter his news. For this purpose I searched an extension desperately. I turned to the first option which comes to mind automatically: Joomla Magazin. Although it is another great tool for its own sake, it doesn't allow front end entries. Then as a last resort I wondered if I can use JReviews. Now I see, I can. Just create another directory/category and enter news as a "book review"

Some items which require improvement

* Limited Category/Dircetory structure: I know it Joomla limitation (How could they missed such a central issue). It's not possible to create subcategories. For every related topic I have to create a section

* Limited Item List Layouts. Currently it allows only 3 predefined page layout: Table view,blog view,Thumb view. It would have been ideal if we had a few more. I guess I should learn some CSS editing

* Might be A Bug: It's not possible to publish an entire directory on frontpage. If you choose more than one item to be on front page in Content Moderation, it opens a white page and displays only one item. But in Joomla admin you can display other extensions items on frontpage. This a very important requirement for news publishing. Now I have to insert an extra menu item to display JReviews "News" page, Wouldn't it be great if could display a link list of "Hot News", "Most Reviewed items" etc in small windows on frontpage? May be in next version.

I am going to buy JReviews with a piece of mind now.

By the way, tech support is also great. I had sent an e-mail on christmas day at around 8pm or so. I was expecting a reply at least a few days later. They got back to me after only a few hours and solved my problem

Thanks Alejandro
