After all the trouble I have had trying to make a banner list view and count using the native banner function in Joomla, this CMS-Topsite came as a Godsend!
It took a while to get in place, but that was my fault, not quite understanding it.
But the admin and a user on their site were immediately helpful and I was up and running in no-time!
A Topsite is not essential, as it basically is an edvertising lister for everyone else. But for certain segments this is actually a crucial function for visitor help.

I have tried in vain to get this to work on my 1.0.15 site (both a dev and test site) and so far have not been able to get it installed. To the developers credit he has tried to help but there must be a conflict with some other component I use - either way as said I could not get it to work. I have given it an average rating due to my difficulties but I still believe that this will be a good component once all the bugs are ironed out.

Version RC4 has this error fixed, it was just a small bug in my code. Also I fixed the bug on your development site with the login you gave me. So try it out and let me know if are still experiencing difficulties.
Just remember RC4 is a release candidate and not a 100% bug free, Version 1.1 will be the stable release.
