Testimonials ComponentModulePlugin

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
With the component that comes in the package you will be able to add a page with testimonials anywhere on your site with an ability to add a testimonial by users either with auto-approve option or with admin's notifications. You can select whether it will be just registered users who leave the messages on not, and you can always enable captcha to protect yourself from spam.

There is also a possibility to manage testimonials from the front-end - if you add users to the component's managers they can edit and approve testimonials from the front-end UI.

The component can be used as a testimonials addon for VirtueMart enabling you to place testimonials on VirtueMart based e-commerce site.

The component supports Joomla! 1.6 Advanced Control Levels.

The module that comes with the component gives a possibility to plug in testimonials into the main menu of the site where they will be paged through one by one creating a nice animated effect. You can even show a set of testimonials just for specific menus or content — a feature that allows you to define what testimonials should be shown in module relative to any menu (using tags).

The component comes with 6 predefined templates which can be viewed on our site. There is also a template manager to help you modify the templates.

If you want to add some fields to the testimonial form, you can make use of the custom fields feature.

The content plugin that comes with the component will allow you to insert several number of testimonials right into your content pages - and different ones will be shown each time a page is refreshed. The plugin supports templates.

Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.6 compatible.

The testimonials component has become one of my Top 10 extensions. It has an intuitive interface. The approach is simple and I turned to be able to master it within 20 minutes. I faced no visible bugs. The Helpdesk is awesome. Thanks.

I display appropriate testimonials at every page. Highly adjustable module, easy and useful one. I should say it is worth of money spent.

I love this extension. It does everything they said it would. Installation and configure are easy and the front end is clean and has a very nice style to it that will fit with any template. Most important it just works! Thanks for a great component guys.

I’m glad to dig out cool feature I like very much. It is possible to set this component up so that on the page it shows a small module showing random testimonials or the ones you set to be displayed. By clicking the module it forwards you to a page showing the whole testimonials list. It really saves place. Nice feature I was seeking for, nice component. Thanks

I like the one! If you want to speed things up and make it easier, definitely check this component out. You can manage testimonials from front-end and delete images right from the component when testimonial is deleted. Besides it is delivered together with several templates.

It allows uploading photos from user’s computer. The component resizes photoes to whatever you indicate in the settings.

Users don’t need to login, folks like it. Captcha keeps you safe and then the component sends e-mail request to administrator to approve a testimonial before it is published. I does even more I expected to be done. Nice one.

I purchased this based on the looks and advertised features.

Install was smooth - everything - except for some broken icons on the confirmation page. Then eager to get start I click on the component only to be brought to a blank screen. Not working.

Tech support was less then expected for a commercial product. I tried another free product and it worked - but still not what I wanted. I want this one to work as promised.

Once I brought the matter to tech support attention this was their ticket reply:

We have investigated the issue. The component appears to be in your Members Area and is available for download.

We presume something might be wrong on your side.
Try downloading the component once again or using another browser for download. Should the problem persist, let us know please and we will assist further.

Besides, there is no license anymore. It used to be several years ago. At present, all you have to do to get an extension is to make a payment. Once this is done, a download link appears in your Members Area.

I have deleted the article from our forum in order not to confuse customers. Sorry for the inconvenience caused."

Now come on - let not blame the customer. I am an experience server manager, and website designer, I may be new to joomla - but Iam not clueless...just maybe there's a problem with your code.

Documentation is poor, this could help give your buyers some direction.

Flexible and usable extansion. Front-end authoring and management made me fall in love. I don't remember when I visited back-end last time.

We have used this component and it has worked well. When we ran into a problem, the support was excellent and they found the problem and quickly fixed it.

It is one thing to get a great extension, but it is an even greater thing to get the support you need after you start using it!

I set up Joomla! websites for my clients and I've tried several other components for testimonials functionality without success. My main problem was there was no way to upload a photo to the website server. They all required the front-end user to link to the image on another website, and I discovered that a lot of people just can't figure out how to do that. Well, JoomPlace Testimonials makes it easy with auto image resizing to a wide you set. Well worth the price!

I like it so much I created a screencast video tutorial on how to add and manage testimonials for my clients

Thanks, JoomPlace!

This component was exactly the added bells and whistles we were looking for. I wanted an easy and attractive way for people to enter testimonials, but more importantly I wanted to strategically display rotating testimonials in nicely formatted boxes. Works like a charm. One of my favorite extensions because it was so easy.

Testimonials are those which encourage readers to buy a product and this extension certainly does that in a elegant way , the ability to edit the CSS makes it even better . So if you are trying to get a few sales , then this is the best tool you can opt for . I seriously thank the developer for making such beautiful extensions and looking forward for more from this particular developer

This testimonials component fits our needs. If I sell eBooks, of course I must shows my customers' testimonials. And the most interesting feature is we can edit the CSS to improve the appearance and to make the design match our site's design.
