Try this free component and modules. Hopefully you all like this.
I do not know what to say about the other negative comments regarding RS-Monials but I had no problem installing it, configure it and setup the CSS Style with my default template. The installation went smoothly and the Documentation is very sweet, simple yet to the point. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a Testimonial Component/Module for its ease of Install, Setup and Use. Keep up the good work.
I downloaded and installed the 1.5.1 version yesterday and it took me awhile to figure out why the spam image wasn't working. I noticed that the component was trying to start its own session. When I retrieved the JSession object using & JFactory::getSession and replaced the session code with appropriate functions from the JSession class (set,get,clear), it worked fine.
Here was my reference:

Otherwise, I'm very happy with this extension - it is exactly what my client was looking for! Thank you so much!!!

Apostrophe's that are submitted, end up being slashes like (/). That isn't a huge proglem since you can go into the back end and edit them.
Another problem is in the back end. When you click Testimonials to look at all the customer testimonials, it only shows 20 on that page. If you pick the dropdown at the bottom and tell it to show 50, 100, all or whatever choice it doesn't work. Same when you choose page 2 from the dropdown. Any testimonial after 20 cannot be reviewed. This is a problem since I have more than 20 testimonials.
other than those little issues, it works great and it is very easy to use.

It's simple, clean, and easy to use and install. Out of the box, the css styling is very nice. Well thought out component. Thanks!
There is one issue I found: When there's an apostrophe in the "About" field, it is putting three backslashes to escape it instead of two, for some reason, and so the front end is displaying the extra backslash in front of the apostrophe.
Other than that, I have no complaints! Great job!

The entire extension works great. The only fall back I have noticed is that the comments box is being overwritten by either the template or the joomla system itself. If you have any insight into this it would be a perfect tool.
Other than that this is very useful, user friendly and shows great! :)

The CSS control is present in our component. So if in your website the component is not displaying properly, just modify the CSS according to your website template. We are sure after modifying the CSS the component will display properly. If you not able to solve it by yourself, feel free to contact us anytime. Please check "Support" link for more details.
I m very new to Joomla, I must say that the product is actually fantastic. However I after installing it the captcha cannot be viewed and the text box were you actually insert the suggestion/feedback is relativly small

We think you forgot to implement the CSS code. Please do the following steps:
1. Go to Admin panel => Components => RSMonials => CSS Style.
2. Copy the "CSS file content".
3. Go to Extensions => Template Manager.
4. Choose the Default Template you are using and click "Edit" button.
5. Then click "Edit CSS" button.
6. Choose your main CSS file (most of the cases it is - template.css) and click "Edit" button.
7. Then paste the CSS code you copied from RSMonials component at the end of that page and "Save" it.
8. You can modify the CSS also as per your needs.
It is an excellent , easy to install component. Two issues though.
1. The boxes for "Your First Name:*" & Your Last Name:* are not displayed in FireFox but works fine in IE
2. Lack of security captcha code (but I think this is already being addressed)
But by far, the formatting and the easiness factors are super for this component.

We solve 2 issues in our latest version. Please download our latest version 1.5.1.
1. You will get Captcha security.
2. You can also able to customize the style of display by modifying and implementing the CSS code.
Excellent! Very easy to install. Does exactly what is was created for.
However, I would really like for users to be able to submit an image, or images, with their testimonial. No other testimonial extension allows users to do that, unfortunately, and it's something that I need to make the testimonial more credible.
Other than that, it is possibly one of the best testimonial extensions available, in my opinion.

Good little Testimonial Component. Took awhile to figure out what to do with it since there is no documentation. But then just created a menu item for it. Quick Question - Any plans of creating a scroller module to display ## number of testimonials or similar to yours on your site? Well it really doesn't have to be a scroller, but saw that and thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks for a great simple testimonial Component.

1. Now the Documentation is added with this component.
2. Yes we have a plan to build one module for this component. The module is "Coming Soon".
I am a fairly new user to Joomla and finding extentions that are easy and effective is a must. This extention rocks! Easy to install and user friendly. I had it installed and new testimonials on my site in under 10 minutes. Thanks for making this easy. I highly recommend this extention. The other perk is that you must first approve the testimonial before it is published, this is a great way to avoid slander.
This is one of the best and cleanest Testimonials components I've seen for Joomla. It installed without a hitch, and was very simple to configure. However a dedicated css file would be great to help style the output, and a captcha system to help prevent spam would be very welcomed too.
Great Job.
Great Job.

We will add Captcha, Multilingual Concept and Design Management in our next version of this component. Please wait, it is coming soon.
