I used Facile Forms, RSForms, and Phil-a-form before trying out Chronoforms. Phila-a-form really is a lot easier to use (as is RSForms), but they are both commercial products. If you are fairly new to HTML Forms then you really may want to try one of those first (especially the new Joomla Forms component coming soon from Phil Taylor).

However, if you know how to create and use HTML Forms and just want a faster way of handling the data on submission, then this is a GREAT component. Unlink Phil-a-Form and RS Form, you can't create the form within the component (I used Dreamweaver), so that's a downside for a noobie, but for me it allowed my to use DW to quickly format the form the way I wanted it, and then I just plugged it into Chronoform and let it handle all the tedious stuff like creating the email and form validation and so on.

I would highly recommend this form handler IF you know your way around an HTML form. If not, give RS Forms a look, and if you need some major power and flexibility, look for Joomla Forms from Phil Taylor (probably the best out there but not the cheapest, 1.5 version will be out soon) or Facile Forms (steep learning curve).

This component offers HTML and XML sitemap capabilities for J1.5 and does a very good job of it.

It takes a little bit of playing around to figure out how it works, but it delivers good results.

I don't know if the 1.0.4 version offered better instructions/documentation, but I couldn't find ANYWHERE how to display the XML version of the file, though my wife tells me I can never find anything, so take that with a grain of salt. In any case I ended up guessing how to display it by adding the "&view=xml" arg to the end of the regular "index.php?option=com_xmap" address. VOILA! XML display.

Although this is a beta I did not notice any bugs in the basic work that I was doing with it. Great job!

I have seen many Docman sites (including my own) that just didn't have the finished look quality to go along with the rest of the site. While Docman is a great component, it definitely lacks in graphic design.

This theme changes all that! I installed it on my site and was expecting to have to tweak it somewhat... but NO! It was drop-dead gorgeous right out of the box (as soon as I read the install instructions in the readme file and got it installed correctly).

Why o why did I not find this theme before I spent *hours* tweaking the default docman theme only to find this one is way better.

I had previously installed a different searchbot for Joomlaboard, but this searchbot displays nicer results and has the advantage of being able to strip bbcode for the description in the search results.

So the results it returns are the same but the results are returned in a nicer format. I am using this searchbot together with others for Docman, Gallery2, and mosDirectory (besides the default Joomla ones) to provide quick search access to nearly all the content on my site through the main Joomla search engine. This is SO nice for the users... one-stop shopping.

I said to myself, "I need a tab component that works inside Joomla content items". So I did a quick search and 5 minutes later had this component downloaded, installed, and working perfectly. Couldn't be simpler!

I work primarily in Firefox and have not noticed any issues as a previous reviewer did. So there may be a bug or two but I'm guessing most people won't have any problem at all.

I love it when I have a functionality need and somebody already has posted an extension that does just what I need. This one definitely fits the bill. (5 stars!)

I don't come here often to review extensions but I do feel that this one deserved a good review. I decided to switch from ako_comment since it lacked many of the features (like good spam control) that I needed.

I installed jom_comment and had my site switched over to the new component in a total of 5 minutes! All my comments were quickly ported over and I now have MUCH MUCH better control over the comments than I had in ako_comment. The interface is very good and its easy to use. The AJAX touch isn't necessary but it sure looks good!

Excellent component! The high quality of Jom Comment is definitely worth the asking price.
