The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I am using an older version of Compojoom Comment and was doing an upgrade to a slightly newer version. The tool works great but I wanted a few of the newer bells and whistles. I ran into several difficulties - getting pagination sorted out and problems with Compojoom causing my page to become far too wide (turns out this was due to changes I had made to some of my Joomla files).

During the upgrade (and the problems) Daniel worked with me to sort everything out. I was quite concerned that like many extensions I was going to be on my own but that was not the case. I ran into some tough issues but I have them solved. The product is very good and the support is excellent.

Compojoom is a very good component for Joomla. It works well, but due to some mistakes with my previous component I had some issues. I had yvComment installed and the import of these comments to Compojoom did not work. Daniel, the owner of Compojoom, offered a lot of support. He even had to do a lot of extra work in my database to make the import possible. He is very helpfull and very kind, and when you post something on the forum he replies very quickly to help me out.
Compojoom CSS is also very easy to adjust and I could easily make a new CSS style template to adjust the look and feel of my website. This is due to the fact that in the back end Compojoom has a copy button of the template you can than easily adjust to your own preferences.
Compojoom is just a great component. One thing, some members of my site say that sometimes they cannot comment and that it takes to long to post there comment and that it fails. But most of the times it works just great and this is the best I have seen yet.
So enjoy Compojoom, it is worth the payment :)

Often, when reading the reviews, I get the feeling, that they are fake or, at least, just some "friends" of the developer, writing it to pleasure him.

So this ist not such a review, this is out of the wild, I am a customer for 4 days now and I never had contact with the developer Daniel Dimitrov.

Our goal was to get an article comment component for JomSocial, which really works. Activity Stream, Points and a nice interface in German was on the wishlist.
To break it down, there ist only "Compojoom Comment" which promises all this... yeah, on paper everthing looks good!

Installing the compo and the JomSocial plugin was easy, no hassle there... but the nasty part is always at the details.
Little problems came up, weird characters and the "like" / "dislike" button klicking did not show up at the activity stream. Here we go, I thought.

Nevertheless, I wrote to the developer and some hours later I already had the first solution in my hands (weird character problem came from another plugin)... and as well the promise, that Daniel will have a look at the other the next day. Sure, I heard this before... "next day" means very often "never".

But it was not like that! The next day Daniel really updated the JomSocial plugin and solved all my problems within 2 days! Thats a new record!

So to all out there, having this bad feeling, paying for something they couldn´t test, do not fear! Here is THE solution for comments on JomSocial. It´s worth every penny, go for it!

I tried many components which allowing adding coments to articles but this is the best what you can get !

Many settings and many templates allowing you to customize comments that fit to your website

Easy set-up, many languages (UTF 8 isn´t problem) and the best support what i met making this component must have for your sites !

After installing the CC plugin - I ran across a little questionning about using it for special purpuse. Daniel Dimitrov answered me almost immediately and in less than 60 minutes we exchanged email up to the resolution of the problem... and the problem was me. The program work perfectly and the new JoomlaPraise template is superb. Thanks Daniel for your care and attention.

If you are looking for a sylish integration with CB look no further. Daniel responed within minutes of a my sending a request for support. There was a a conflict with a SEF component. Within less than one hour he had modified the PHP and all now works exacly as it should do. I also have an excellent integration with MyBlog. Many thanks. A model of what support should be.

This comment system has worked great for us and the support is top notch.

One excellent feature of this comment system is that you can create different "instances" for each component you assign it to. So you could have one setup for your articles and then completely customize something else for another 3 components independently. I love this feature the most.

Works right out of the box,but highly customizable and a ton of plugins for things like Jomsocial and MyBlog. (for all of you trying to make Jcomment work with MyBlog - try this, it just works)

Finally, the themes look very professional and work with my RocketThemes seamlessly.

I did see some others complaining about having this extension be commercial, but I have no issues paying for a great extension with great support.

Overall, 10 stars!

The product is solid, easily configurable and customizable, and support resources are great.

Daniel has been extremely helpful and friendly and has always taken care of my questions very quickly.

I have to say it is worth every penny.

I was a regular user of the free version of compojoom comment and was a little disappointed that it has gone commercial (thus one less star); but ya, does not matter as from the options available, it's by far the best and plus, one of the things that actually makes me like commercial extensions is the support i get along with that - and saying that Daniel delivers with the support is an understatement to say the least

thank you Dan!

What a Joomla user is two things: users and great products. These comment system is great and D. Dimitrov is always ready to help. The support is very important for me because i'm not a programmer. A must have.

This extension is worth every penny forked out for a subscription. There is nothing more that I can say that has not already been said, nor are there any superlatives left to describe the product and support excellence one gets from Daniel (*makes obeisance on both knees*)...

This extension is superb, 1st class in every way. The ability to refine who gets in are logically laid out, but the standard implementation is perfect. Thanks Daniel.

Three things make this worth every penny/cent.

a) the product is excellent and very flexible in allowing you to configure where commenting is allowed etc
b) the documentation is very good and, unlike most documentation, it explains where to look if you feel you want to hack the code/stylesheets a bit to suit your site
c) the support is fabulous via their forum

Don't dither. Just buy it!

The Joomla! Community Magazine now uses this extension for our comments. It has a lot of features that we wanted, such support for BB code, comment ordering, captcha, great css styling flexibility, reply and quote on a comment, author notifications when comments are submitted, comment moderation, and voting for comments. Everything works as expected.

The developer Daniel Dimitrov was extremely also helpful in customizing how the extension works for our site.

I would recommend this extension to anyone who is looking for a great Joomla! comments solution.

I have been using this extension for over a year now and really think it's a great one. If I run into any technical issues at all, the developer is very timely and helpful with the support. Highly recommend it.

This product has great support by a developer who knows how to talk to clients and get what they need done, something I find hugely important. I look forward to seeing future versions of the product and more from them!

Article comments are an important & central feature to my website. I downloaded and used the free version of compojoom for a year and was so impressed with its robust features that I was happy to buy the subsequent upgrade. Overall it is very simple to set up. One possible concern was the small amount of modification to the docman template php code that had to take place before the full features of compojoom could be integrated and used. This is not a nice thing for a newbie to face. However, the instruction manual was clear, concise and does make the task relatively straight-foward. A worthy purchase.

Hey guys,

I looked very löong for a professional comment component and finally found this one. Ok, it costs a few bucks but it's worth every penny.
Unbelievable fast support and I can concentrate on the content and growth of my website instead of coding to get a component working with other components. Thanks for such an easy and good working component to the devloper!

This is awesome joomla comment component, full of useful features, Very secure (Akismet, recaptcha..), come with many nice templates so i could configure the look to much my website appearance last important thing is the perfect support of the developer. I had an issue with recapcha was not working and really the developper worked with me until i resolved the issue. Thanks.

I don't really leave as many reviews as I should, but the support provided by Daniel is on par with the other leading extensions support groups.

I bought the component and installed it, and had questions about some customization (support for JomSocial + Avatars). I posted my questions on the forum, and within a couple of hours I had a very helpful response. I used to use the free !JoomlaComment extension, but when I saw that they went "pro" I definitely trusted their work on my site.

I tried JomComment before using this, but their compatibility just wasn't working out, so I got a refund and converted. Glad I did :)

I'd put this in my list of top 5 components, those being: JReviews, JFusion, CompoJoomComment, MyBlog, and JomSocial.
