Xmap
 The best I have seen., November 23, 2008

Xmap The good: Xmap produces a complete map of the content on the websites I have tried it on.

The bad: All items are tagged as updated daily. This is probably too frequent for individual items, and not frequent enough for the front page.

The home page was identified by its alias not as /

There does not seem to be a way of adjusting the relative importance of pages.

Joomla 1.5 Sitemap
 Translates menu items to a site map, November 23, 2008

Joomla 1.5 Sitemap If all your pages are linked by a menu item this is a great tool.

If you have a menu item that links to sections or categories and would like the articles to be indexed that will not happen with the current version.

If you frequently change your content. (or infrequently.) You will need to edit the changefreq from yearly to what ever is appropriate. (either by editing sitemap.xml or the php code.)

If it indexed all your content and allowed you to show or not show it on the site map and specify the frequency of updates, and auto label archives as archives I would rate it as good.

If it did all that and detected all "duplicate" content and prompted you to rank which version you wanted ranked 0.6, 0.5, 0.4 etc. Then it would score excellent.

As it is if you just want your menus turned into a site map it does that flawlessly.

ImageSlideShow
 Works in a limited set of circumstances, November 17, 2008

ImageSlideShow This works great, but there are a few bugs that you can trip over.

It does not support search engine friendly urls.

It assumes that it is the only iframe on the page, but if it is the first iframe this does not seem to be a problem.


 Great component, Don't use the posted version, August 20, 2006

There is a version in the forums that works, there are many patches posted in the forums as well.

The only major feature that is missing is bounce management.

there is an active group of users that will help you but Schmalls does not seem to be interested in keeping Anjel updated,

I have never maintained a popular project, but it seems in need of a new maintainer, (at least temporarily.)

Thanks Schmalls for the great extention, but 6.2 is in the forums just waiting for you to post.

LxMenu - DHTML menu
 Good browser compatibility., May 2, 2006
2 of 3 people find this review helpful:

LxMenu is not as nice as some of the propietary offerings.

Placement on the page is a little quirky. and every thing is pixil based so it can be hard to get the menu to match your template.

Browser compatability is better than any other GPL dropdown menu I have tried.

It works, which is more than you can say about a lot of drop down menu modules.

CiviCRM
 Not of the, March 7, 2006
1 of 3 people find this review helpful:

CiviCRM CiviCRM is great for putting up a quick way of getting donations and volunteers from a website.

It does not however, integrate with the fish.

It has many oddities about how it lays things out that will give your graphic designer nightmares.

The user interface on the backend is probably an excellent candidate for an AJAX type interface similar to vtiger.

performance also seems to be a bit suspect. Your RAM usage will noticibly increase.

Any usage that is non-trivial will require a lot of thought about adding fields.

You should set up a test server with representative sample data before deploying it (unless you are sure that you have not hit a performance bottle neck when you organized your data.

I have not tested the max records, but it seems that it will hold millions, but may have issues at about 32 million.

The schedule a meeting functionality is still very primative, and probably will be a few generations before it is a challenge to outlook.

Email blasts are still a work in progress, you probably want to use anjel for email blasts at this point.

Over all, an excellent project with a bright future, Well thought out schema, the fields seem to match the real world. I'm torn between giving it two stars and five stars. it has elements that deserve each of the rankings.

joomla 1.1 has a lot of promise, as it should be possible to integrate civicrm and community builder seamlessly using that.
