Cobalt 7 is a successor of Mighty Resources but all new, completely redone to be absolutely native for Joomla 2.5.
- Flexible CCK - Wide variety of fields text, textarea, html, image, select, multi-select, ... All fields are highly editable and will always give you more than you expect.
- Notification System - iPhone or Facebook style notifications system allows users subscribing to articles or section/categories and being notified on any occurring event.
- Multi-type - Allows you to submit, handle, search, display, order and filter different content types of data within the same section/category.
- Search & Filtering System – Smart and configurable FULL TEXT search system. Advanced search using filters by field values.
- Speed - High performance is one of our main concerns.
- Multi-Vendor - Users submit from frontend and can even create their own categories and have their own home pages.
- Comment System – Built-in comment system, along with the ability to use any other system like Komento.
- Rating System – 3 different calculating modes. Single or multiple property ratings.
- Moderator Manager – Set any users as moderator to any section, and fine-tune his permissions.
- Templates Powered - Every record list or record display uses templates which can be managed through a Template Manager.
There are much much more features in Cobalt 7 than what we can describe within this short description. Try for yourself this incredible component and become addicted by the unrivaled power of flexibility, which no other JOOMLA CCK can provide.
I am using Cobalt for a while already and for my demands it is the best CCK component out there. It is highly flexible and you can build theoretically any site you want. The subscription model is fair enough and the free version should work fine for most needs.
Nevertheless the learning curve is quite hard at the beginning. Later on it is really easy to configure and use.

Out of all CCKs, Cobalt (former Resources) i consider to be best and most reach with what it can do.
I would say the possibilities impress! Vast variety of fields and fine tune parameters is the paradise for someone who do not want to get into code.
What I like about new version is the speed. Thanks developers they really did a marvelous job on it. Aтв a lot of new interactive features.
I love Cobalt 7, and in fact I already love Cobalt 8 when I read roadmap.
Thank you MintJoomla for this wonderful experience.

I'm loving the latest generation of this Powerful CCK! Completely re-written for Joomla! 2.5 the integration is clean and seamless. Speaking as a long term user the continuous development and improvements has resulted in a refined solution balancing ease of use with features to keep the power users amongst us happy. Colbalt allows me to speed up my development cycle whilst retaining functionality and increasing user interaction.
By combining Colbalt with Emerald, the membership component also from MintJoomla I have a solution that improves on all of the best features from the previous MightyExtensions Components.
Colbalt is a fully blown CCK and as such is not for newbies who are probably better off sticking to the excellent but non-comparable K2. However if you have a bit of web dev experience with Joomla! then I recommend you give Colbalt a try.
The new pricing structure means the core Component, Plugins and Modules will always be free, allowing me to pay for only the premium features I need. The good news is that licenses are no longer restricted by domain and premium purchases can be used on infinte domains.
I believe that Joomla! 2.5.x has been a important milestone for the Joomla! community and a big step forward. Along with the recently announced roadmap for Colbat 8 with exciting new Enterprise features the future is looking very promising.

This is my first rating, because i feel that this component deserves some attention.
If you get COBALT, you dont need anything else anymore.
Nested categories, unlimited fields per article, flexible layout, comments, rating, etc etc ...
Only your imagination is the limitation what you can do with this extension.
Not only the product, also the support is outstanding. While experiencing some difficulties with my own import script, Sergey immediately went out of his way and fixed my problems within minutes. Free of charge. Thank you very much for your support.
The most incredible fact is that this high quality component is absolutely free as well.
I bought several add-ons just to support this extraordinary product -- worth every cent.
5 stars are not enough to rate this component.
