RokSlideshow
 Crashes IE 7.0 and higher, reserached and, March 24, 2008

RokSlideshow Avoid this program until the author can stop it from crashing Internet Explorer. This program gives the "operation aborted" error in internet explorer 7.0 and 8.0 beta 1. I know Rok slideshow did it because when I removed it the error went away. Internet explorer 8.0 beta 1 gives a descripton of the error, but still crashes

This program is kind of useless until it supports IE 7.0 and higher

Ulti Reflection
 Good idea, but needs work, March 20, 2008

Ulti Reflection I think that it's a great idea but the plugin does not function properly. If I click on a link to a content item that has the {reflect} tag, half the time it shows the reflection, and the other half of the time it just shows no reflection at all. The reflection only displays about 50% of the time on IE 7.0. If you reload the page, it always shows up.

I'm not using cache of any type, or even any other plugins on the test page. Still the plugin acts strangely and only appears half of the time :(

Didn't test firefox, saw no need to after seeing how the plugin works in IE

News Tabs
 Good idea, but not working, March 20, 2008

News Tabs I give it a good rating, it's a good idea, but it fails to work as descrbied. This is probably an early version of it though. I've tried to get it to work on joomla 1.5.1 to no avail.

It's also a major setback that your news tab doesn't process content bots. If you use something like xtypo drop cap to start off all of your articles like I do, then in the newstab instead of a drop cap, you'll see {xtypo_dropcap}D{/xtypo_dropcap}

Without the ability to use content bots, I cannot use this module (even if I could get it to displayer properly)


 I'll take my last review back a bit, March 16, 2008

There are problems with the default install of this module. For one, this error which is definately the fault of the programming;

[Sun Mar 16 03:05:04 2008] [error] [client 208.82.113.95] SoftException in Application.cpp:246: Directory "/home/tthlabel/public_html/version20/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbbuzzboard/ci" is writeable by group

When the plugin installs it chmods the plug_cbbuzzboard/ci directory to 777. That is not acceptible and will cause general server errors, if you chmod it to 755 it'll fix that problem

2nd, why is this module using curl? It's a guest book program, not an ecommerce solution. I don't understand why that is necessary, all you are doing is asking for problems. It took me over 7 hours to get this program to work, and guess what, i'm on a VPS, I can shell to root, most people can't. I had to make several changes to my resolve.conf file to get this thing to stop giving me the "Curl: Could not resolve hostname" error.

This program is in major need of work before being run on a live server, too many problems

On the good side, it does look great and is a great idea. Once you work out all the bugs, it does run good
