Table manager
 It's easier to use an HTML editor than fight with this., August 3, 2007
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:

Table manager I wrote to the developer but still have never heard back from him. As I thought it would help me, I paid the forced "donation fee" (not much, 3 Euros, about $4.10) before I could download it and spent the next 4.5 hours trying to get something usable out of it. I wish I hadn't. Using a simple, open source HTML editor like Nvu and pasting the results in the HTML editor of Joomla would have taken much less time. I need to replace the data in the same table every month. This toy cannot do that by a long shot.

What really gets me is that I described what I needed when I wrote and I asked Claudio before spending any of this time if this extension would meet my needs; he simply never replied. He is in Italy and the language barrier may be an issue. If so, it's not one easy to cross for non-Italian speakers. I could not use this extension and am not happy about having wasted so much time when it could have been avoided.

The manual is written in poorly worded English but is otherwise adequate to fight through to get running. Claudio should pay a native English speaker to clean up his tutorial and English web site but I really don't see the need for his little extension in the first place. Navigating his website is another story; it's very poorly organized. I'm very disappointed, most especially that he hadn't the courtesy to respond to my query, much less before I wasted my time.

ChronoForms
 An elegant way to present a form, August 1, 2007

ChronoForms We needed a "contact us" form for our church website and I found this extension after trying one other. It is by far the better and more elegant of the two. I had a silly problem with spelling and within minutes, Max answered my post in their forum in a gracious and courteous way.

The form was easy to install, it's tutorials, both written and animated, were clear and easy to understand and were it not for my spelling error, would have been installed in an hour or so including building the HTML. One does need a bit of working knowledge of HTML or a decent editor but for that, an open source editor such as Nvu is perfectly appropriate.

I can't give this package nor these developers higher recommendations...top notch all the way.
