Powerful set of features while avoiding scope creep. Fast, easy-to-use, and to the point. Nice attention to detail, such as adding a handy notes field for quick configuration reminders.

Pros
1. Good, clean code
2. Nice layout
3. Easy installation
4. Plenty of documentation

Cons
1. There can only be one image caption, which is displayed for all images.

Just completed my first English/Japanese site. Setting up JoomFish and copying in the translated text for the entire site to well less than an hour.

All feature are working bug-free so far. Client is thrilled! Thanks to JoomFish I have a new Joomla convert.

Big thanks to the developers for GPL'ing such a powerful, and well-written component. I will be donating to this project.

Pros
====
1. Well integrated with Google API.
2. Handy links to Google documentation to help get you started.
3. Clean, easy-to-use interface.
4. Nice integration with Joomla! database.
5. GNU/GPL (Thanks to the developers!)

I don't understand the previous review. I saw no ads or inappropriate 'callbacks.' Actually, a 'callback' if you want to call it that, is the whole point.

This extension feeds live Google data to your site, complete with rich user interaction. That's a powerful feature.

Google's Web Services, and free APIs, are a great example of where cutting edge Web systems are headed. This extension puts your site on the map (pun intended.

Pros
====
Simple to setup

Follows reasonable Joomla coding and security guidelines.

You can choose to display one or multiple quotes.

You can choose random quotes for each page load or each day.

Deals correctly with blank lines in the text file.

Cons
====
Has an undocumented, hardcoded style tag.

Only works with text files. Would be good to add a db option.

Unable to parse authors, sources, etc.

If the quotes file is not found, the script will DIE(!) and send an error message to the browser! Very bad move for a non-critical module. Better to silently abort.

Has some nice params within the script that would be good to make available in the module admin view, such as the name of the quote file to use. That would make it easy to have multiple modules in different sections showing different quotes.

Overall. Good stuff. Just needs more work. I've hacked up my copy to fix some of the above. Will share when ready.

I was about to pull out some of my old code and try to write my own Joomla! Gallery extension. Now I don't need to. RSgallery2 has some rough edges, and is still in need of development but it has many advantages over all the other galleries I've tried on this list:
1) It work.
2) The displays look good.
3) It's easy to use.
4) It's fun to work with.
5) It does the job!

Looking forward to the next update.

After playing with it for less than an hour I think it's a great extension. Yep, will take a while to figure it all out and I'm not ready to go live with what I've go so far, but that's because I have more to learn.

It assumes a good knowledge of underlying technologies. I can see I need to bone up on advanced CSS and get my head around patTemplate. Not unreasonable expectations for anyone claiming to develop advanced interface features, such as this enables.

How about a field on this site for "Required knowledge/skills"? Here's what I'd put for ExtMenu:

Required knowledge: Advanced CSS, patTemplate, mod_mainmenu functions

Pros:
1. Good database exploration and download function. I might keep it around just for this.
2. Good page XML editing features, but still incomplete.

Cons:
1. Can't do anything with actual files other than list them for inclusion in a package.
2. Can't create anything new other than XML files.
3. Menu options don't seem to match claimed features
4. No support, no promised support, very quiet support forum.

In answer to an earlier question, be sure to download and install the other .zip file to get the mambot.

Installed fine, got everything working, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I'd rather use phpMyAdmin for table admin.

Maybe the real value is the ability to easily display table data? I'd like to see some examples if anyone did something great with it.

Just installed a few minutes ago. Already improved my life. Much easier for administrators too. No more clicking around between Sections, Categories, Static Content, "All" Content, etc.
