 Fails on Safari, April 2, 2007

Like most of the developer's components and add-ons, this one simply fails in Safari. I would recommend considering the entire user base when developing these components.

VisualRecommend v1.2.0
 Awesome!, March 17, 2007

VisualRecommend v1.2.0 Great, Great, Great. Exactly what I am looking for. Installs easy, works very well, easy to configure and a fantastic idea.

Only problem right now is that it deos not seem to work with the standard Joomla SEO turned on. If developer can fix this would be just fantastic!

Frontpage Slideshow
 Great, March 11, 2007

Frontpage Slideshow Great Component. Great Support. Clear instructions. Does what it says. Nice development so far.

I sheepishly asked the developer if I could use the component on a testing site, and then later on another live site and he replied: "Sure, what are we??Microsoft?? LOL!"

Love this component.

Beautify your pdf's with the Joomla PrettyPDF
 Misleading, March 11, 2007
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

Beautify your pdf's with the Joomla PrettyPDF I hate to give a bad review, but in this case, I have little choice. I took a chance on this component based on everything that I read. According to the forum posts on the developer's website, and the changelog for the component, it would appear that you can create your "Pretty" PDF with proper image alignment. As it turns out, you can only define whether you want *all* your images to align left, right or center. Further, the images do not float next to content- there is a line break after each image.

On the surface, this does not seem like a big deal, but when you consider the purpose of the component, it is a major flaw. The component is supposed to "brand" your content as belonging to your site; at the same time, it is supposed to make your material look professional. However, if you have images in your content- which many people do- the output looks "thrown together" and unprofessional.

I concede that if you do not have images, the output looks great and the component otherwise does what it is supposed to do. But, that is a big "if"- again a major flaw.

I am dissapointed, as I paid $50 US dollars for this component and simply cannot get the attention of the developer. The developer's site has no contact information- so the only way to get support is to post in the forum. Thus far, I have flooded the forums with absolutely no responses.

To the developer's credit, I have read from others that support has been excellent. I, unfortunately, have not been on the receiving end of good support for this component.

If the component were free, I could understand the lackadaisical support, but relatively speaking, this is an expensive component.

I have suggested to the developer that he or she at least allow a user to select an option in the backend that add a float tag to all images. I think this is a reasonable solution. I looked into doing it myself, but I simply do not know enough about coding to even try it. Furthermore, the license agreement prohibits hacking.

Looks like I'm stuck. If I hear back from the developer, I will re-post.
