I really like this plugin, the fact it includes 3 different features all rolled into one. It's easy to install and the script is compressed makes load time really quick.

I have to admit the spotlight feature I don't really like but the lightbox and reflection I use thought my site.

The lightbox in particular creates a really stylish affect, great for displaying youtube videos or content from other sites without letting the user leave your site.

Downside?
You do need to join a membership site to get this. But with membership you to get access to lots of other modules and templates.

A great extension with 3 distinct styles.

One of the main things I like about YooThemes is the way each extension has several configuration options. This allows me to reuse it several time on my site but keep each page looking fresh.

I love the stuff Yootheme do.

This time they give us a really simple to install and configure vertical slider. Visually it looks impressive however it only takes a couple of minutes to setup.

Downside?
You do need to purchase membership to a Template club to get this extension, however this does give you full access to all templates, other extensions and support forum.

Another great extension from the YooTheme's crew.

It doesn't really do anything new, instead just makes the default J! login form visually much nicer.

This is an excellent Module, easy to install, and lots of configuration options.

I use it for displaying 'Latest News', 'Latest Images', 'Search Cloud' and 'Most Popular' articles. None of these things come with the Carousel. Instead it just gives you the means of displaying any other module or text in a really attractive manor.

There are several preconfigured styles and the css are easy to edit. Over all a quality extension that I would definitely recommend.

I really like this extension and use it extensively thought my site.

It is easy to install and there are several configuration options, making it more like 4 separate modules rather than one. The styling is top class and xhtml compliant.

I have been running this plugin for quite a while now on my J! 1.5 site. It was very easy to install and configure and the best thing is it just works.

There are so many configuration options, from route finder, placing markers on the map, lightbox the list goes on and on.

However I recently installed a new plugin for displaying video on my site and there was a conflict. Thanks are never that easy are they!

So I contacted the developer of Googlemaps, I expected a reply a day or two later saying he would look into it. Instead I got a reply within a few hours! And what's more a few hours after that I got an email with a new version of the plugin, I installed it and the conflict had been resolved.

Some of the commercial companies out there should try support like this!

A great plugin, great support and FREE!

I originally installed an older version of GCalendar and unfortunately could not get it to work.

However after seeing version 1.5.0 had been released I decided to install it again, as it was just what I was looking for for my community site. unfortunately I ran into some issues again!

I contacted the developer through the forum on the components website and got an instant reply. Within a couple of hours it turned out I had installed the old version again! #doh#

The new version was installed without error and worked first time. It is really easy to configure and the modules for upcoming events and moduled version of the calendar work great.

I have seen some comments about this just being a wrapper for gCalendar. To an extent your correct, but at the same time your wrong. As I mentioned the modules are really nice and the backend management makes things really simple.

And finally, the support is second to none! Great product highly recommended.

This is a really nice plug-in. It makes a blog view look much nicer.

The plug-in installed on J! 1.5 RC4 without any errors and was easy to set-up.

This extension is 1st rate.

It installed without error, very easy to configure. The back end is so slick and the front end has lots of templates to match your site.

I can't rate this high enough. I you are looking for a comment system for Joomla 1.5 look no further.
