Ok - so after you're finished with the basic install of Joomla! and you decide that it is time to start to modify your install... this is THE single most important tool for Joomla! available. eXtplorer should be the first plugin you install after your basic Joomla! install. It is hard to believe that this tool isn't embedded within the Joomla! code itself. Manage files, templates, php, txt, html all from a single editor that has some pretty cool effects.

My only complaint (minor) with the new version is the "back to Joomla!" bar when you go to edit mode. It would be nice if you didn't actually leave the Joomla! administrator page and it just ran in a wrapper. Keep it simple.

This little gem of a plug-in is amazing. Like most other users in this thread, I had almost given up on the SEO capabilities of Joomla - until now.

One item that is of utmost importance - Make sure that you read the FAQ regarding the .htaccess file and how to modify it for third party plug-ins - otherwise you will spend hours beating your head against the desk. Not good for either the head or the desk, which both have a sizable dent in them.

After reading the FAQ (http://extensions.siliana.net/en/sh404SEF-and-url-rewriting/.htaccess-files-information.html) and following the instructions to the letter in rewriting the .htaccess file in a text editor - IT WORKS!

You can check out the results for yourself at www.evolisidprinters.com ... it is truly amazing.

Not only does it work, but I used the Google webmaster tools and JOOMAP (another component add-in) to create a google compatible sitemap of my new SEO enhanced site and uploaded it to google.

Thanks to the folks at siliana.net for the great plug-in and making my life much easier. I am sending a donation to support your project and would recommend that others using this tool do the same.

Ciao - Jim.
