This component has a lot of promise but the dissapointing documentation and total lack of help on the forums make this a very poor component.

The idea for this plugin is very good, with an extension that might be very useful for the community. However, the extension still needs quite some work, which is normal since it only just started out...

The extension does not allow you to set many parameters, and the user management is not what I would like to see. Assigning supervisors per abstract would be one feature, locking submitted abstract, adding files... are a few things I'm missing here.

To get to the level of Open Journal Systems would require lots of work, but I surely hope they get there so I can stop using a separate OJS install.

I think the idea behind this component is fantastic BUT... It has a long way to go. It is clearly at the early stages of development and many of the features are missing particularly documentation.

The developers website does not appear to have a way to register on the website (404) and I can not seem to work out how to add new categories, nor why another login module is included in the package.

I am eager to see its development progress and hopefully the developers will work out what is wrong with their registration process so we can leave some feedback on their forum!

Hi imtechnology

If you have followed our Twitter updates in the last few days @joomla6teen, you would have known that there was a problem with our Download Manager which was displaying old files even after we have added the latest versions of our extensions.

We have corrected this issue. So, please download the Conference & Abstract Management Extension again.

Indeed, it is in early stages. However, the issues reported above are not really there now:

Add new Categories feature is available in the latest extension. The another login module only renames the Groups in User Manager.

You can register on www.joomla6teen.com

Please considering reviewing our extension again.

Thanks
