This is a great mod, works out of the box. I did have some problems with the Ajax but that was due to my template I built. Contact/Support with Omar was very fast and friendly. If only all developers were like this, the IT world would be just that much better.

thanks for the great review.. and you are most welcome :)

This is a beautiful extension, with lots of options and it works right out of the box. Its really cool you can set up a default text for the "email to a friend" page. Had to go in there and turn off that IE warning.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your nice words and great rating :)

I'm with other reviewers. I admit apathy--I need to have a major epiphany to review an extension. And I exaggerate not, this extension did just that--it's AWESOME!

I'm just an old lady trying to work on a charitable site, and I knew we were needing a bookmarking feature. My poor ancient brain went into a spin, until I found this extension and YAY! It was SO easy to install, completely set up with tooltips for my constant confusion, AND it allows me lots of options. Everything was done for me, in a matter of SECONDS.

I can't recommend this extension enough if you're needing quick bookmarking to both the browsers and to the social networks!
Owner's reply

thank you very much for the great review :)
glad i was of help.. you just made my day.

I do not do many of these reviews but this is a very useful utility. The only thing I can criticize is the PDF maker, but this is external to the module, and outside the developers control (slow and flaky).
I had an issue with styling, and a quick email to the developer yielded a response in 15 minutes (on a Saturday afternoon). WOW!
The issue was in the moduletable styling on my site, and although Omar did not solve the problem, he pointed me in the right direction.
My only suggestion for improvement is to add a CSS file, which would solve these types of problems.
Nice work, and definitely worth 5 stars. Looking forward to the updates.
Owner's reply

thank you for the great review :)
god-willing, the next version will be better in terms of css, and it will also contain an ajax contact us pop-up :).. stay tuned..

I'm one of those people who has to almost be moved by a spiritual experience to comment on an extension, but here I am for this one.

I have tried several 'bookmark-this-page' extensions and THIS ONE is by far the best!

I don't even know where to begin with the praise! It is simple to customise, compact and eye-pleasing...just plain easy-to-use.

Thank you so much for your efforts! You've made my life easier!
Owner's reply

You are most welcome.. THIS IS my favorite review yet :)
thanks for the nice words..

byfares5shm on August 5, 2009
very nice moudel:
Good looking, vey useful, and easy to set and use

it realy deserve 5 STARS

Good Job
Owner's reply

thanks alot for the complement and the five stars :)

byJazzi on July 19, 2009
This is flipping outstanding! Everything that's needed for my site in one compact bar. :)

My only comments are that it would be nice to choose where the popups appear. It was also be nice to have 24-bit PNGs with transparency instead of 8-bit ones with jaggy lines on my dark template! ;)

Thanks for such a great tool! :)
Owner's reply

thank you for the great rating :)
regarding the popup position, you already can choose the position of the popups by defining the vertical and horizontal indexes for the popups in the module's back end..
as for the PNGs, you may be right, they will all be nice and dandy by v1.5.14 :)

bythenewbreed on July 15, 2009
Worked well with no installation or set-up problems.

Would like the option to include the Sharing functions as text links instead of as the pop-up bar with icons. As we only want to add the Facebook and Twitter options, it would be nice to have it look like:

Add Site to Favorites
Add Page to Favorites
Make Homepage
Share This Page on Facebook
Tweet This
Email This Page
Print This Page
Save Page as PDF

This one is a very helpful and easy to customize module. I had a little problem as it refused to accept email addresses including "-" (minus) but contacting the developer he sent me the solution in no time.
Thumbs up & Thank you!
Owner's reply

byentergoogle on May 22, 2009

byelfling on March 17, 2009
Great stuff... the developer even made changes to this module after making the suggestion to only display icons. Great work, A++++
Owner's reply

you are most welcome :)
thank you very much for the great review and rating.

byalways_jatin on March 16, 2009
Hi Omar,

This is a really good extension. I would love to give it 5 stars.

Howere it would be great if you could provied PDF and E-mail to friend and social bookmarking this like AddThis in the module.

Though I am already using this on my site.

Thank you very much for great extension.
Owner's reply

thank you for your suggestions, they were considered. i added (social bookmarking) and (save page as PDF) options and few other additions. check em out!

byBookmaker on February 22, 2009
Dear Omar! Thank you for this great module. That's exactly what I need, it does an excellent job. I made the Hungarian translation which I would like to share with you.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much for your great rating :)
and thank you for the translation, it was added since version 1.x.6.
make sure to check out version 1.5.7 for many more additions such as (social bookmarking) and (save page as PDF)

bywebmeisternl on February 11, 2009
finally a simple and good-working module for something that should be standard.

The only thing I miss is a 'module class suffix' that allows me to present it in the layout of my site..
Owner's reply

you wont miss that anymore :)
versions 1.0.4 and 1.5.4 have a Module Class Suffix just for your eyes.
thanks for the great rating ;)

bypitchick on January 31, 2009
This was very useful and exactly what I was looking for.

I got the newest version I guess and it works great with my 1.5.8 install. The only thing I would improve is having the option to add it as a menu link so I could include it in the main menu area (unless I somehow missed this capability).

I am using a virtuemart ja_larix version which has a non-standard main menu and so I wasn't able to put it in that where I wanted but it still works great and I found a nice little place for it anyway. :)

Thanks very much for this great little app.
Owner's reply

you are most welcome..
since this is a module, and not a component, you can't place it in your main menu, it has to be in a separate module..

Nice looking and handy module, but it produced many xhtml compliance errors. Clean up the code and it's perfect.
Owner's reply

versions 1.0.3 and 1.5.3 and above are now compatible with XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

bygigsakos on January 4, 2009
Brilliant Job, easy installation, work perfect with the most browsers, thanks Omar!!!
Owner's reply

you are welcome.
thank you for your nice words and the great rating ;)

bybaijianpeng on October 4, 2008
This module is better than another module Bookmarks Joomla! 1.5 which claims to do the similar job but not.

Hope the author of this module add those backend parameters to the language file so that we can make complete translations.

In addition, if possible, please use .ini format language file since this is the standard of Joomla! 1.5.

Thanks.
bypepo on September 21, 2008
Very nice, very simple to install! Some extra configuration in module proprieties (nice...).

There's a little bug in Italian: the xml file install italian.php but in zip file there is the Italian.php file, so some linux server for caps sensitive report an error, for workaround this do:

1) unzip the package
2) rename Italin.php in italian.php
3) zip all the file

However great work! Compliments!
Owner's reply

this bug has been fixed
thank you for your kind words.
stay tuned for the next release with even more features!
