AllVideos Plugin v2.4 - All-in-one media solution
 Perfect., November 11, 2006

AllVideos Plugin v2.4 - All-in-one media solution Usually I split my review in a pros and cons section. For this one, however, I can find nothing for the cons section. Everything works straight out of the box, exactly as promised. Easy syntax, easy configuration.
Great work, thank you!

PUArcade
 Great fun, November 11, 2006
2 of 4 people find this review helpful:

PUArcade The package required some tinkering to get it running, but now it does it works flawlessly.
The games are excellent and the high scores are well-implemented.
For a future version I would recommend adding a column userid to the table and passing that to the swf, as now it is not possible to track back high scores to registered users.

pro:
* Great games, only classics.
* High score tracking
* No annoying advertisements

con:
* High scores not trackable to joomla/CB-users
* Installation was buggy, probably rushed, and will no doubt be fixed by the time you read this.

Jx Title Flag
 Just what I was looking for!, November 6, 2006
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

Jx Title Flag Great, and works without a flaw.
It displays the specified flag in the title, or the default flag from the plugin's settings when a specific flag is not given.

Note that it is a content plugin, which means that for listings where the content is not searched (for example, the more... links on the front page) the flag is not shown. This, however, is not a problem for me.

I was looking for something like this, because some content items are in Dutch instead of English on my site.

Only comment: the documentation could be more extensive. I looked in the code to find the right yntax to display a flag.


 Works well as it is, but needs some work, October 18, 2006
4 of 4 people find this review helpful:

I like this, first of all because this kind of module takes a lot of work to create. Well done, and thanks for all the effort, team.
That said, it still needs some work before version 1.0.
The move system is a bit counter-intuitive, but that can be remedied by explaining it well in the help-files. This could be improved, though.
What we definitely need is backend configuration, particularly for the graphic part and database management. There is a function in the code to delete games, for example, but no way to get to it.
Another idea which is not (yet?) present is tracking of rating. That would also be nice.
The implementation of chess rules is well done, and works well. The only thing I can think of is that a draw offer should be accompanied by a move.
As it is, draw offers and resignation are a bit awkward, as you have to type DRAW or RESIGN where you would normally enter your move. Buttons would be better.
The code is arranged a bit strange, too. Because of the strange placement of functions adding resign and draw buttons, for instance, is difficult. It would also be nice if the code that delivers the HTML would be in one place.

All those minor issues aside, the product does work straight out of the box, and is a nice service to your visitors.
If you are not too bad with PHP, customization can be done and will take a while, but you build on a functional core.

I will check out future versions to see where the product is going, but I think I will not use them. You have provided me with a core I could use, and I will further customize it for my members.

Pros:
- Works out of the box
- Unique component
- Good adaptation of chess rules
- Nice ideas for features

Cons:
- Not customizable without delving into code
- Not quite ready for release as full-fledged component
- Multi-lang not yet finished (some text hard-coded)

joomlaXplorer
 Saves a lot of time, October 2, 2006
3 of 5 people find this review helpful:

joomlaXplorer Excellent extension, which saves a lot of time because you do not need to bother yourself with FTP to make a small change to a file.
I installed and used it without any problems to date, and couldn't do without it.
Features that could be useful in a next release: line-numbers in the edit window, and a search/find function. This is not really necessary because I usually copy code to an editor program, but it would make this product complete.
