The guestbook component 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 page for complete changelog!

Version convention changed - now all releases for certain Joomla! versions have the same main version number as Joomla!.

The component is very nice.
Only problem I found was that I wasn't able to add h1 tag once the component was linked to a menu item.

Before this extension I have used many tools to organize guestbook on my site, but not one was fully sutisfacted. But Easybook is really thing, that need for my: absolutly customisable, easy in use, with in-build "bad words" filter and another useful tips. Must be on every Joomla site, which uses guestbooks.

Very nice work. It is an easy-to-use but powerful component. The only disadvantage for me is that it is not available in greek language. Keep on the good work.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your review!

Disadvantage? Why don't you translate the extension in your language? This work has to be done by volunteers like you. Go to https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/easybook_reloaded/ and create your language. It's really easy. Thank you!

This is excellent Guestbook that I've ever used before. I've just installed few days before in Joomla 2.5 and it worked very good.
One thing I'm wondering is any way we can limit the words down in Guestbook entry instead of unlimited.

Thanks

Some time ago we used an other guestbook which we had to close down after just some months. Cleaning out hundreds of spam messages was complicated and very time consuming.

We changed then, on Joomla! 1.5, over to Easybook Reloaded, on one of the first versions. Spam significantly has been reduced, although not to zero, but to one or two a day. We did all the updates and started to use ECC+ as well, which drove us down to almost zero!

As Easybook Reloaded gives the possibility to delete an entry by just klicking on the provided link in the e-mail message, we were happy to have this extension!

Now, some weeks ago, we changed over to Joomla! 2.5 and installed the latest EBR build. Although we are using the same domain we did not receive one spam mail!

We are very happy with this solution and are sure, that it really serves the Joomla! community. As a sign of gratitude we bought a membership with Kubik-Rubik.

The extension works fine, but! We receive too many spam messages with the EasyCalcCheck spam protection Enabled. I tried to ask the forum but it this option is only for VIPs :-)
Owner's reply

You can use the free support forum section. Uhtred (a friend of mine) answers almost every question there, so it's not true what you've said. You just have to register and activate the free support subscription. That's all!

If you use an older version of the component, then you should install the plugin EasyCalcCheck Plus which stops every spam.

With the latest release of the component (2.5-3) you won't get any spam, even without ECC+. I use the component on the demo site and had not one spam entry from bots!

Thanks anyway for the review!

First of all thank you for the excellent component. I'm using it for some months now without any problem. But is there a way to add facebook like and share button to each comment in the guestbook? I'm really new to Joomla! Sorry for my poor English.

Just as advertized - an excellent product. One minor issue rather, EasyCalc pro is not all that protective - some spam do slip through the gates. What is the possibility to eventually incorporate the J2.5 built-in ReCaptcha funtionality into Easybook? Keep up the good work - donation on the way.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your review and the donation!

If you still have some problems with the built-in protection system, then you should install the plugin ECC+.

Best guestbook i ever use on Joomla 2.5.

Really good thanks. For the future would be great to have a bit more advanced spam protection (wouldnt mind paying for a more advanced plugin)
Also a few more templates or the possibility to edit template and labels admin site rather than messing with source files.
Also your website doesnt seem to be translated to english for this extension.
But these are all minor things.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much for your review!

I have already created a plugin which you can use to stop spam in many 3rd party components (of course also in Easybook Reloaded). You can download it here for free:

After using another guestbook for a while on my two sites, I had to upgrade in order to avoid spam, but after upgrade it never worked, and I had to donate for having a "last item module". So I changed to EBR with great success. EBR is easy to set up and use, exactly what I need on my site. And, I was free to consider donation after testing, something I did, without hesitation.

Great component! Very easy installation and configuration. Easy to customize to all my needs. Works flawless.

This will be one of my favorite components for a while.

Thank you very much for making this top Guestbook and sharing it with us.

Craftmanship!

Hi

This extension is overal good, but on the contrary of what is said on the description, it doesn't work with multilingula site like joomfish : the Guestbook page in other languages doens't appear and we lose customers...
Owner's reply

EBR is 100% compatible with JomFish, as Uhtred has explained it to you here: http://joomla-extensions.kubik-rubik.de/forum/103-ebr-easybook-reloaded/6855-bug-with-joomfish-multilingual-pages-doesn-t-work

Why do write such a review if the fault is on your side?
