Hi,

I've just installed 1.5alpha2 on a J1.5.6 site and it didn't work. I then read the installation instructions and lo-and-behold, it seems to be working fine! I do hope development on this continues; expect a donation when my next production site is complete :)

1. Install the component as a normal Joomla 1.5 component.
2. After installation change the config to replace the admin email address
3. You must then click the following links in the 'Development' tab in the JEvents control panel in order (VERY IMPORTANT)
1. Migrate admin menus and update databases (this will make sure your tables are up to date - the sql in the xml install file is more difficult to maintain during development and is therefore out of date!)
2. Migrate All Events to IcalEvents (this will copy all your existing events into the new format, if you have any - without removing them)
4. You MUST create at least one category before doing anything else

Luckily I paid attention in French lessons at school! It's a great little extension, but you do have to register (shame, shy?) and then navigate your way through the site to find it; it just took me about 30 minutes just to download it...!

It's worth doing though.

Well, I'm delighted to be mentioned by Tomasz for doing some testing to sort that odd little bug out, but all credit goes to him! :)

This is a great little plugin to display a classy date next to articles.

A previous reviewer said that "it is not possible to suppress the date display for certain articles using the parameter settings of the article." This isn't really true: you CAN select within the plugin parameters which sections/categories you want to display the date on. So, since I'm only doing this for my 'News' section, it was very easy to implement.

I would like to see some more styles for the date (Roman numerals perhaps and maybe others), but it's still great :)

Just a huge time saver that I'm sure we'll come to not be able to live without!

Thanks so much Johann! :-)

Hi,

I love the simplicity of this - it just works straight away and is simple yet powerful. I know one small bug-fix is on the way and I would also like to see:

* the documents listed in the same order as document manager
* the addition of nested categories!

But it's still great with the potential to get even better. Thanks for a great extension!!

Hi,

Really like the look of this component/module but I ran into problems when publishing it to newmodule position and then trying to use it with {mosloadposition}. In IE6 is displayed it in the wrong position and in IE7 it appears you can't use two {mosloadposition} on the same page (different modules) so thatwas a problem. Firefox worked wonderfully, not surprisingly...

Wonder if these problems can be fixed, or whether the browser issues cannot be overcome?

Hi all,

This is a great component - I'm really please with it! It installed easily, is pretty straightforward to get going and you can have an avatar easily associated with a blog post (either register at www.gravatar.com or it also integrates with CB and SMF I think).

I only needed it for a simple blog and it works just great... well worth the money.

Dave.

P.S. OUTSTANDING SUPPORT!!!!!

Hi,

I really like the YOOtheme products - they're all really good looking and add some great functionality easily. I first used YOOtooltip - brilliant - and now am trying to get YOOaccordion on the same site.

The problem is, that these particular extensions can be styled black (they are white by default) by adding a line to your template index.php (I'm using a non-YOOtemplate) but this turns them ALL black. So, I've got a great looking YOOaccordion but the black YOOtooltip looks terrible on a dark background!

It does seem odd that it's "all or nothing" and I hope they consider individual colouring on the various modules as this really does restrict their use.

Great little plugin - works pretty much out of the box - you just have to add a line to your template if you don't use a YOOtheme template. Interesting business model they use: having to join and then having access to all the extension/templates. But there's no doubting the quality of their work - very good indeed - and quick with support too.

Dave.

So I had to uninstall it... I checked the source and it had dumped some tag in the Simple Image Gallery Pro code and broke it...

Would like to see it developed though, as Joomla! would benefit from a bot such as this.
