This is great! Now people can leave their own feedback and eliminate that extra step of copy and paste to put it on the site. Just let your clients or subscribers or members know they can write a testimonial for you, give them the link, and publish the ones you like best. Couldn't be easier.

Well done!

Excellent work on this slideshow. Installed clean as a whistle and was a breeze to figure out the captions and transitions. I am happy to report that as of April 10, 08 this module plays nicely with IE7. I have it on a 1.0.15 site and it performs marvelously. Thank you for a first-rate module.

TableBoss is incredibly clever, tremendously easy to use and visually stunning. If you are a developer and have trouble making sales for whatever reason - you might consider the restaurant niche. Why? Because all you have to do is demo this impressive reservation system's easy user interface and it will make the sale for you! No multi-screen progression, no long load-time to get to the next step... it's all smooth, seamless and so so easy. I haven't been this impressed with a user interface or front-end user experience ever, in or outside of the Joomla community.

Restaurant managers want one thing: to fill as many tables as possible as many times as they can, every day and every night. They want to make it easy for people to set a reservation and be done. The easier this process is for the guest, the more likely the guest will be to make that reservation. Introduce your restaurant clients to TableBoss. A website with this component enables a restaurant owner to take reservations from anybody, not just a "member" of their Joomla-based site, and the experience could not be more pleasant.

Best yet, the restaurant's host/ess works from the front end of the Joomla site, which means s/he can drive the entire day's seating visually with this solution. When reserved, each table's image changes color. This makes it easy to see when you've got more people seated in one wait person's area than another, for instance.

Best yet, the company does this and only this - and they are accessible every day. They're aware that you sometimes don't have the ability to stop what you're doing and make a phone call to get help. So they've programmed a quick key combination that brings up a context-sensitive help applet. The applet retrieves the latest help and information from the TableBoss team as the product is developed. It just couldn't be easier.

Seriously - show this to a restaurant owner who has a web site (or wants one) and who wants to increase revenues by taking reservations. Make sure the host or hostess is watching. Then watch their eyes bug out of their heads and see how fast they sign up.

I can't imagine how this component could be better done! Highest recommendation.

I was called in to fix a problem a friend was having with a template she'd downloaded from a popular template club. The template itself is excellent, but IE7 was incorrectly handling the javascript and css. My friend really loved the rotating images on the top "header" area and asked me to see if I could solve the problem.

The template club members had apparently spent months, trying to find a flash method of handling the image transitions rather than sticking with the use of javascript. By the time I got to their discussion, however, they had long since given up and had gone off to creating flash sequences of their own.

I'm not a flash programmer, so that was out of the question for me. BUT! I found Header Image Module and thought it might be the answer. Holding my breath and saying a prayer, I installed it and took the javascript out of the template. I replaced it with a new module position code snippet and published this excellent add-on into that module position.

Bingo. No more problem. I highly recommend this module. It is Joomla-easy to install, super easy to configure and well annotated with mouse-over tool tip helpers, just in case you don't know what each setting enables you to do. Best yet, the IE7 problem for my friend is now solved and she doesn't have to start over with a whole new layout.

Thank you!

...it worked with CB 1.0.2. I have the mambot configured according to instructions on a Joomla 1.0.12 site with CB 1.0.2 and JACLPlus 1.0.12. I tried to restrict *admin* as well as admin without the asterisks.

I can still register using admin as my username and/or as my realname. The approval process still takes place as always, no error message is returned. I installed RB after all else was up and configured, so nothing is installed on top of it.

I'd have written this in a support forum, but I can't seem to find one. It's too bad, too, because I feel this mambot is a must-have and was looking forward to using it.

On a positive note - the interface is excellent and the concept it superb. Hope that somebody updates it soon to work correctly on my setup.

This is Joomlaboard, the best native Joomla forum around, but now she's all grown up and dressed for the prom - and buddy she is HOT! And this isn't beauty that is only skin deep... this first "beta" release is more stable than most M$ products that cost hundreds they day they hit the shelves.

Unlimited (subcategory) child boards and a more sophisticated presentation of the boards and posts are the most obvious improvements you'll see. You will find one or two glitches, but you will also find a very alive community of developers and users, including the Two Shoes crew! Since JoomlaBoard and Fireboard have officially merged, the projects have gained strength and increased momentum. The community has responded as well - take a look at their (Fireboard) forum and you'll see what I mean!

With the included migration tool that pulls in your existing JoomlaBoard forums categories and posts (without touching the original tables), there's no reason to hesisate - it's a beautiful, full featured native Joomla component that doesn't take forum features into the "overkill zone" like some of the "bridged" solutions.

But let this be fair warning! Once you do try it, you just might be hooked.

The component and module install easily. The big red block in the module is hard to miss when you have a message. Not artful, but effective. The interface is plain and easy to understand. Like others, you can ask for an email when you get a new msg if the admin configures things that way.

There are two ways you can use this message system. Either you are able to message user, which is fine except you can't control the name display by username or realname, or you can restrict messages to be directed to a list of people. The second method allows control in terms of whether to display username or realname. I don't understand why that was done that way, but that's where it is. This makes it unusable for me personally.

I wanted to go to the forum and find out if anybody had written a hack to make it use realname only in open mode. But if you go to the forum to browse for answers... have your wallet handy. You cannot even read the project forums unless you pay to access it.

This is a sticking point with me. No matter how slick the Ajax search is, no matter how nicely laid out the screen may or may not be, if you charge me to read your forums, you've lost a customer for life. I'll pay to post, but I won't pay to read your forums. I'll donate money to support a project, but I will not pay to read the forums of an open source project. Period.

I didn't test the CB plugin because I've decided I'd rather pay for a commercial product than simply to access a forum.

If you don't care that it displays the person's username in "open" mode, Primezilla has a pretty nice interface and the ajax search is, as I said, fairly cool. The project manager's poor decision to require a fee to read the forum causes me to be unable to rate it any higher than "Fair" because I can't read to see what kind of things the users are doing with it. Sorry.

Thank you for this great module. I can publish copies in various module positions and easily stay within the Adsense user agreement. I can choose to use the chameleon colors or not, and I can track what works best via channel ID's.

As the characters in the Guiness commercials say...

"Brilliant!"

Noticing the component was last updated after the remarks before mine, I thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did. LMO is not a dead project and it has gotten beyond most of the "globals" issues it may have had before.

The component is beyond a mere bridge that integrates a standalone script into Joomla, and is becoming a component in its own right. I encourage anybody who has a need or use for a multi-team league management system to participate in this project. The current developers are actively working on it as time allows and they answer questions posted in the forums.

The script from which this project is born is quite extensive and, with the right direction, will become quite a flexible and tweakable system, in my opinion. Worth watching and even better, worth getting involved with.

A living, breathing project with what appears to be an active developer. This components has so much potential and I'm extremely glad I installed it. Will become more involved as time allows, but for now I'm thrilled.
