On a nice sunday (25 feb 2007) i tried CiviCRM for Joomla (version 1.6.8517). I was very enthousiastic that installation with the normal Joomla/administrator/installer as an component was no problem at all! (everything works).

If you want more languages you also have to copy the files in the package "civicrm-1.6.8517-l10n.tar" . I have a lot of experience with SugarCRM, PHProjects and vTiger. CiviCRM has not so much functionality as the other applications. But the advantage is that the application works within Joomla. So if you have too built an application where you don't need dashboards with prospects and that kind of stuff, then you have too look to the CiviCRM. I think that this application is also suitable for other branches then the non profit branch.

So i give this application an "Excellent!" rating because it is really good.

Dear Mark,

Thank you for this "simple component". My experiences is that "normal front end publishers" find it difficult to make and change their own text.

Your component is a very good step in the good direction. I suggest the following improvement: when users make a new text, they can choose or make directly an menu or submenu. "normal users" has always problem with the administrator and with the differences between content sections and menu's.

Greeting form a Joomla fan,
