Easy to install, great features, fantastic support! Search results output page contained some modules that should not show up. Set ItemID in Search-Module and changed the configuration a little. Thanx to immediate answer of Andrea!

I like a lot this component, i have to say you taht it is a greatest work, i solve the problem to group many elements in an easy form, i recomend it, for example if you need group products :)

Excellent component, great support!! Huge potential with content elements feature makes this component really the top. Meny thanks to developer

This is a fantastic extension - the benefit is that you can control the tags so they don't get out of hand and end up having 3 things that are the same but different... IE "movies" "movie" "movie's" etc... so there is just one and you select them as needed... Brilliant! (easy to set up - took 10 min, and most of that was thinking about the names of the tags I wanted to use)

I really like this extension, and appreciate your work.
It's by far the best tag cloud. Very easy to config and use and also compatible with JoomFish.

You just need to complete this by adding compatibility plug-ins or the possibility for the users to make their own small scripts to extend it in order to make it compatible with VirtueMart or other great extensions for Joomla!.

Thank you for sharing this. ;)

This is the only way to show articles more flexible then just through 1 category. Many nice features. A great addition would be a many iten that shows specified tags. That way this could be used to navigate a whole site way better then whats possible without it. Not having a mnu item for it means adding external links to the search url for me and i then cant change titles or meta as far as i know.

This component is just GREAT !

There's also very usefull additional plugins for publishing tags while submiting an article on front end and backend (carefull it includes a core hack).

Make a search on "Custom properties"

This tag system brings joomla sections/categories to a higher level...

I have use 1.90.2 version of this successfully for several month and today I saw that there is new version with support for adding tags when writing articles. It was very nice to see this, but unfortunately 1.98.1 make troubles with URLs when use tag search and pick article from result it create completely new url of this sort: http://site.name/component/customproperties/article_name.html and it isn't same like menu path adress wich creates troubles with SEO, making duplicate articles.

1.90.2 haven't this problem.

Anyway I wote "Good" for a good component, I am sure this guy wil fix this issue.

I really love the way this works, but after some changes in our menu, we suddenly get an error when using the cpsearch: 500 - layout "blog" not found, and there is no documentation anywhere to help us out of this. Its a real bummer - I love it so much I am thinking about reinstalling it, but then I would have to ask my client to re-tag several hundred articles. Wish there is a forum on this...

You made exactly what I'm looking for, really really God bless u

This is a great component. I find it incredibly useful. One suggestion for the developer I would have is to take a look at the 'append to keywords' feature. It seems that it only works if there are no keywords in the article. It would be great if the plugin would simply add the tags as additional keywords which are editable when you pick keywords via Article Manager.

I recommend it, very useful for a weblog, or a news site.

I like:
-very good administartion panel in backend
-tags categories ;)
-tag cloud module
-plugin that displays tags on articles (maybe adding string "Tags:" tag1, tag2, tag3 would be useful, curently the tags are displayed as tag1, tag2, tag3 whithout "Tags:" string)
I don` like :( :
-no posibility to add tags from article editor
-no ROUTER file for joomla 1.5 sef
-TAG CLOUD MODULE has no cache, does not alow displaing of X number of tags and has no link to all tags.

A little observation for the autor: The demo button links to joomla 1.0.x demo and this may confuse people ... it confused me.

This component is in my must-have and amazing-should-be-in-joomla-by-default lists.

The component does what it says and does it very well. I can't believe joomla doesn't have a tag system like this.

And the support, I got all my replies blazing fast and by emails. How many developers you know that support you through emails?

For my wish list, I would like to be able to add tags in the article manager, or when I add an article it could be there just below the meta information. But this can take time :)

This is a must have component!

While we are waiting for the Joomla folks to make some way of adding articles to more than categories than the built in "section" and "category"; Custom Properties is a very good solution for people looking to be able to add articles / products to more categories / tags and to limit searches to these categories.

Only problem is that we are waiting with our breath held for the 1.5 version to be up to speed with the 1.0 version!! Would be nice if somebody killed the old Joomla 1.0 system so we could get on with the new 1.5 with 100% focus and not have to wade through components for version 1.0 and version 1.5

The work done on this component is nothing short of brilliant. The developer is friendly and efficient in communication, and has given me good advice both times I have contacted them.

The component is regularly updated, and I can't wait to see the new features in 1.0 applied to 1.5!

A developer I will be donating to more than once for certain, thank you for all your hard work!

It's really a smart component, I would like to see it as part of joomla core too, with custom properties panels inside of new/edit content-article panel.
Cause of it's unique intent of catalogue and schedule I think the output of article properties items could be enhanced:
not only to point to search similar article properties, but also in a custom output, related to specific property, or in a resuming page, giving to the author the opportunity to show the global "properties map" development process inside his site.

Perfect! There's not much so say.. perfect!

At first I didn't understand how to assign a CP Field to a module, in order to have modules appearing on specific pages, so I mailed the author and was very pleased to get reply in less than 30 minutes.

Great for filtering articles, works perfectly!

This is the best extension for tagging content, but for joomla 1.5 the frontend adding and replacing of tags seems not to work :((

this bundle of extentions is the lonely peak of content management. it leaves no wish unrealized - if you wish something that "custom properties" can`t do - forget this task, its unnecessary.

another topic is a the fast and furious support from solidsystem.

with "custom properties" you can a user edited site or a directory with any structure. forget a "section-category-article" - new custom properties joomla age is arise!

This was exactly what I was looking for! You can do a lot of customization with this for your site!
More over, I had a problem (actually it was not a problem since I misunderstood something) and I got a reply from those guys in 1 day! Not a bad response time for a free piece of code! In fact excellent response time!
