To avoid Spam Easybook Reloaded uses a light version of the famous plug-in EasyCalcCheck Plus which is available as a separate download (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/captcha/11964).
The Guestbook is based on the original component provided by Easy-Joomla. This version has been reworked and optimized. All known security flaws had been closed and some more measures had been taken, to secure it.
See Project Homepage for complete changelog!
Version convention changed - now all releases for certain Joomla! versions have the same main version number as Joomla!.

This component works very good, and the support is also very good. Maybe in a new version a choice of dark, light and no background.

Thank you for your review.
In the new version for Joomla! 2.5 you can select a transparent template!
The installation went fluently, without any errors. Its is easy and simple.
It is a pity that I can only donate via Paypal. For me is Visa direct more usefull.
Thanks for this great module!

Thank you very much!

Installation was a piece of cake, does exactly what it says it will.
One thing I would like is for "comments by administrator" not to be titled like that, but by the name of the administrator doing the post, as registered in joomla's users page.
It would be more personal to readers, as well as enable differentiation of posts when the site is managed by multiple administrators.
Other than that minor point, nothing but good things to say!

Thank you for your review. Maybe this feature will be available in the release for the next Joomla! version.
Excellent extension. I suggest you to put some different date and time format (with /), cause in Serbian we write date and year with dot's. Ex: 17. 10. 2011.
Except that little suggestion, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT! Keep good working! Thank you!

Easybook Reloaded is an easy to install and configure, yet fully functional guestbook component that does all what it says, and more. Moreover, when trying to solve a problem and reporting it to the forum, the solution was pointed out by the developer within MINUTES. Really perfect!!

What a great component! Easy to install (I'm using the J1.7 version), worked out of the box within 5 minutes.
It took me another 5 minutes to restyle it to my likings so it blends in my design beautifully! Just locate the easybookreloaded.css and adjust it to your needs.
Thanks for this great component, if I could have given you 6 stars I would have! :)

I am new to Joomla and got this module to add to a predesigned website. It was easy to install and simple to administer and did everything we wanted. Their support is FANTASTIC! We had a small formatting issue due to our stylesheets and they not only took a look at the problem but told us what to do to correct it. A 5 star rating from me!

Thank you very much for your review!
the release for 1.7 gives an error message in building menu in backend.
The forum is in german, not everyone speaks german, sorry

EBR 1.7 is fully compatible with Joomla! 1.7.
Ive had problems installing other guestbook modules on my web site but can honestly say this out of all the modules on the site it has to be the best.
very easy to install very clear on how to set up and personalise this module 5 star from me.
well done to the developer who has done a superb job.
On a parting note though i wish i could use coloured text on the guestbook entries when replying to posts as admin!make the text stand out? maybe a button you could add to the next upgrade for 1.5

That can be modified in the css file of the component.
Tried out other guestbooks beforehand but Easybook Reloaded not only worked immediately but it had a nice layout and was highly configurable. I loved the simple captcha system and the email option to selected registered users (Joomla CMS) worked flawlessly. The latest entries module was also a really neat addition; it also had a thoughtful configuration. It's certainly the best Guestbook on the block as far as I'm concerned - keep up the good work Viktor!
