Favourites Listing by Instantiate ComponentPlugin

This component/plugin is designed to allow users to make collections of their favourite articles on your site.

The plugin puts a button at the top of selected content items for logged in users allowing them to add the page to their bookmarks or favourites.

The favourite pages are displayed in a front page blog style layout by creating a menu item linking to the component. The menu parameters allow you to fully customise this page as you can your frontpage.

Nice component. I like it better because its easy. Big buttons on top of a page, cant miss it. Easy and nice work on the blogging page. Works like a charm and very easy, but...

1. The buttons "add" and "remove" cant be translated easily (you need photoshop to do so).
2. The translation in general is hidden in the code. No language file available.

Exactly what I was looking for. The only thing is it doesn't list the title of the article that you saved as a favorite.

Very good extension. This is exactly what i looking for.
You can easily add articles to your favorite list. the favorite list can customized with the menu item parameteres. So you can change all what you want.

On the homepage is Version 1.02!!! Use this version because with this some Bugs are fixed!!!

The only thing i miss, is a feature to remove the favorite articles from the favorite site. At the moment you have to go to the added article and press there the button "remove"

The installation und configuration is very easy. So i give 4 of 5 stars - wiht the remove button and some other small fixes this is a excellent extension and 5 of 5 stars :)

Thanks, Tom, for the Gem of an extension -- Ive been hoping someone would develop this feature forever! Its a must for any article-driven site that is looking to personalize the user experience and keep people engaged with the ability to bookmark their favorite finds.

The extension uses the familiar Joomla article blog layout, which allows it to seamlessly integrate with Joomla's existing article infrastructure. Very professionally done. My users will certainly love this :)
