Try this free component and modules. Hopefully you all like this.
It amazes me how the "el cheapos" and "old ladies" come on these boards to bash a free and very good component...
They seem to bicker about the irrelevant things while contributing absolutely *nothing* to solving any problem. They are a shortcut to intelligence in my opinion.
This component works pretty well, I have installed it on a couple of sites without any issues. Thanks to the developer for taking the time to develop this component, Joomla exists because of your hard work! Appreciated.

Really looking forward to having the 1.7 version of this extension. The 1.5 is a breeze to install, use and customize. When can we hope to have a 1.7 native? Thank you!
Hi there,
I like your component. But it has to be rated as fair. To be honest: It should be: poor. But maybe the developers stick into this issue of no SEO at all?? It is a usefull tool, but unfortunately there is mass duplicate page title. Every testimonial has the same page title. If you have a pagination this duplicates again. It is just called as the menuitem is named. This is not that good. Everybody knows the importance of SEO and everybody wants to avoid DC and Duplicate page titel and stuff. I did a post at your website, but no answer. Seems that your component is not well coded. Looks like it is made in the last century, sorry for pointing that out. But knowadways SEO is such a important thing and it can not be skipped. Maybe you answer here at JED? Why don´t you release a fix for this issue? It is known for long a time, but nothing happens. Seems that the customer service is not the best. Sorry for saying, but someone of the team of rswebsols.com should stick into this issue. Seems that no one has thought about SEO when coding this nice component. Thats very sad. Seems that is was a quick and dirty solution ;-( Very frustrating
kind regards

A great component, very easy to costumize, with an excellent support! Magnific work. Thank you.
Excellent work, I have just a small observation. I have the need to search testimonials through some words or keywords; I tried to do that via Joomla search module but apparently does not work. I do not know if there is some technique to link the testimonials, to joomla search engine or if I have to obtain a separate module or extension.. .etc. thanks.
After going through the registration process on this persons site, mind you their servers are slow as, took forever for pages to load, when i finally got around to downloading this component and module i was highly disappointed, straight out of the box installation went fine, however their security captcha is a piece of rubbish, after inputting the CORRECT captcha 14 times, it kept telling me the wrong code had been typed.
Needless to say this crap has been uninstalled and i rather use another..!!!

- Sometimes it happens when server performs slowly. We think you access our website in some point when the server performance was slow. It happens in every server.
- If you are facing any problem then at first you need to contact us via support forum or via support email. We are always dedicated to solve any kind of issue you are facing. Just contact us and we will surely help you. But we are feeling really bad because you did not give us a chance to solve the issue and provided a bad feedback here.
Great looking script and incredibly quick support through the forum when I needed to edit the testimonials slightly.
All in all, amazing!

This was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to install, easy to understand and easy to implement. Looks great, too!
I absolutely love this component. I love free modules, and this one is probably one of the best. I will gladly donate to you.
Criticism: Updating was very difficult. As I am using it with German language files, when I updated the component did not work right anymore. I had to reset the language file and saw that many parts had been added; I then had to manually edit all entries again. Would be great if new parts could just be added to the ini file instead of having to rewrite it all again.
Possible next update: Would it be possible to answer to the testimonials? I would love to give feedback on what people wrote.
Cheers

Very easy to implement and does the job for what I needed. Had a small issue with the size of a text area, and my support email was answered quickly, and with a great answer.
Awesome extension!!!
Awesome extension!!!
Really like the simplicity of it, very easy to implement.
What I think would make it better:
1. Have categories
2. Link to website
3. Allow link inside testimonial
If there is a format that will allow the link please let me know.

This product worked like a champ. I really love the power and configuration that this extension offers. I was able to create a page for my own website and configure the exact look and feel of it on the back end. The back end offers plain explanations of what something does and what are you options for changing a feature or look of the module.
The only gripe I had was the need to install the FLEXIcontent addition.
It easy to get lost in the configuration but if you take the time to read through all the options, you'll figure it out in no time.
When I did have a question, I posted it to the author's website and had a response within 24 hours.

Really fast and easy to setup, looks better than most testimonial systems.
Quick access to the CSS file.
Rapid response from developer.
Settings system could be better with dropdowns or check boxes instead of click to edit.
All round really excellent Extension :)
Many thanks

I installed and configured this with ease. I had one minor display issue, but support was lightning fast and immediately had answers. A separate support inquiry also helped me immediately customize the response message. I wish I had found this tool long ago. Many thanks to the developers.
I got it installed and good to go in very shirt time, including translation. Well done Rswebsols keep up the good work. Thanks
