Besides being extremely hokey looking (it's just a big gray box with - of all things - Float as a title (even if you try to change it)!

There are other extensions that will accomplish the same thing much more elegantly...

Add to that, there is virtually NO SUPPORT or DOC on the website...AND...it's very buggy w/ IE...AND, if you try to install, you will get this error:

Warning: mosloadcomponent(): Failed opening '/home/content/e/c/o/ecometrist/html/gfso.org/components/com_ajaxfloats/ajaxfloats.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/e/c/o/ecometrist/html/gfso.org/includes/frontend.php on line 66

THIS IS EVEN AFTER THE COMPONENT AND MODULE HAS BEEN UNINSTALLED....HOW DO I FIX THAT?????

This component is exactly what I was looking for...being in need of an app to manage online donations and membership mailing for a small non-profit orchestra.

The functionality, though quite complex to set up properly, seems to be top-notch (having demo'd several other NP fundraising systems which weren't web-based).

HOWEVER, IMHO, this should NOT have been created as a component, but as a stand-alone w/ a bridge. The installation is a NIGHTMARE - I've been working a solid week and still can't get it to install w/o hiring a professional (which I shouldn't have to do for a component). It did, however, install flawlessly on my local JSAS - and I didn't even bother to check memory limits, execution times, MySQL versions, or anything. GO FIGURE.

I'm torn about my rating, but given the choices listed, I had no option but to rate it below average.

Sorry, guys at Civi...it's just WAY over the heads of 90% of the people who use Joomla...the whole point of components is to add functionality w/o a lot of fuss.
