We have a site for marketing recyclable goods for government bodies to recycling companies, but needed a way to communicate with the buyers that new sales are available. This extension has fit that need perfectly. Support is awesome, and the developers understand the need to satisfy the customer. They have gone out of their way to help us with a new add-on for the component we use to promote the sales.
If I had one criticism of the extension, it would be a lack of documentation of any kind. However, the extension is very intuitive, and we are developing instructions for our recycling buyers so they will know how to use this tool to keep up with new sales on our site.
Thank you, Foobla!

Thank you for your review. Customer services quality is the most important thing in our business.
I have been using this feed generator for a while now and I have found it to be quite robust. My favorite feature, out of anything, is that I can contact them and they will generate an add-on for components I have that do not have feeds. This feature has allowed me to quickly have feeds available on my site.

Thank you for your review. This RSS Syndicate designed to be extendable by flexible add-on architecture. Each add-on can be used to create a particular RSS Feed, even custom XML format with enclosure, additional elements and/or additional markups. People is now creating custom XML format to deal with iPhone/Android app, and this Joomla RSS Syndicate extension is a great option to do that.
Just downloaded obRSS a couple of days ago and it has already completely replaced all of my originally feeds with toes I have created in obRSS.
obRSS wasen't made for my native language, but minuts after my support ticket, I received a new edition with my native language.
I also needed an extension for the component, which were no problem for the Foobla crew. Just made a support ticket, and one day after I recived a perfect extension for my other component. Great job!
I can strongly recommend obRSS and Foobla!

Thank you for your review. We response to our valued customer within 24 hours in working day, normally within 12 hours, if you have to wait more than 12 hours, it is because different time zone. The response time may be longer in weekend.
There's a whole lot of RSS feed creators available for Joomla. Most of them are free. Most of them work fine. But none of them hold a candle to obRSS. I know, because I tried them all.
The two big difference-makers:
- flexibility
- level of support
With the extensive list of add-ons available for obRSS, you can include just about anything from your Joomla web site into your RSS feed. It's incredibly convenient, and it works well.
And if you ever have an issue, the support staff is top notch. I had trouble figuring out a simple issue, and they got it resolved to my satisfaction within mere seconds. When support is this good, it's well worth paying for.
I had my doubts at first. Why bother paying for a component that provides the same functionality as other free components? The answer is simple: the makers of obRSS work really hard to make you a satisfied customer. It's worth every penny.

Thank you for sharing your experience to the Joomla community, it was not easy to make experienced customer, like you, happy ;)
The world of RSS feeds seems a dark art - but these guys made it easy. Not only did they make sure my feed was up, they rewrote an add-on to get everything working when a version change came about.
You won't go wrong with this group.

Thank you for your review. Sometimes we have an out-of-date add-on which need to be modify to work with new version of 3rd party extension, thanks again for your patience.
I was a novice en joomla and needed to set a RSS system. But I don't like text RSS. I use k2 in my site. After a lot of hours spended trying to set k2 RSS, I found foobla. Installed it in a few clicks, and running. After done, I asked Thong for change some settings, as position of the image, labbels in the feed, and another for a nice RSS like spanish newspaper. Next day, Thong had made all for me. And my RSS are showing very nice, just as I liked.
Great and excellent component. Easy to use, powerfull, and with one of the best support I have found.
It's no easy to found RSS working perfectly for K2. This is one. Still I have to dedicate time for making a home page for all the feeds, and some improvements more. I know that when I have time to do it, thong will be here for helping me.

Thank you for your review. The CNN Style RSS page is now working great with multiple languages support.
I was very skeptical about this product as there're so many rubbish floating on the market these days. But as I needed it, I had to buy and it's a big surprise! My core and my components are quite not up to date, but they help explain and even help you to go line by line, until it's done.
Very helpful and up-to-the-minute support. Great guys, keep up the nice work.

Thank you for your review. We always try our best to ensure happiness for our customers :)
I am new to Joomla and am amazed with how good the product is, however all extensions aren't created equal, or developers. That being said I absolutely am impressed by the professionalism, timely, and meticulous work done by the foobla staff. There tech support staff are awesome. Great Product I will definitely recommend.

Thank you for your review. I'm happy that I'm the one who shown you the power of Joomla community :) Thanks for using Joomla, thanks for using Joomla extensions by foobla.
This is a great joomla component, very clear and in general doing it's job in a great manner.
If now on the above, you add the great support of the developers you have a perfect tool for your joomla site.
I also have to add that it's support for the custom flexicontent fields that only this component offers (custom addon) makes it a unique solution for flexicontent sites that need an rss feed output!!!
I also have to thank the support guys for their great help and effort!!!

Thank you for your review. FLEXIcontent add-on for obRSS is much better now.
This component is really great. If someone needs an RSS component, I highly recommend this.
The price seemed to be a bit high, but as I get really great support for a custom addon I needed, it totally worth it.
Thank you guys again and keep up the good work!

Thank you for your review. We can offer minor modifications without extra charge, major modifications for this rss syndicate extension or add-on can be made at a reasonable price.
I have downloaded hundreds of extensions in the five years that I have been using Joomla. This extension gets my highest rating based upon functionality, presentation/design and the incredible support provided by its developer.
Having used the older JLord version of the feed for some time, I asked Thong Tran if he could add an option to randomize the order of articles within the feeds themselves. This would enable me to promote my content on Twitter, Facebook and similar services at set intervals without actually having to attend to them manually.
Within a very short time, Thong added the feature. It works perfectly and enables me to "tweet" about my content without lifting a finger. I just set the cache to the intervals I want (which tends to be daily so as not to become a pest to my followers), feed the RSS into Twitterfeed or similar services, and have instant regular tweets.
Now, I only add tweets manually when the spirit hits me. But I'm always promoting our content over the social web without the effort it takes to do this manually.
I also like the way Foobla presents a page of feeds with various links to feed readers. Having tested many RSS extensions, this is by far the best I have seen and undoubtedly the best supported.

Thanks Irwin for the tip. Normally, it's easily to tweet new content via Twitterfeed, but if we have no new content, it's impossible, isn't it? With the tip from Irwin, we are now able to tweet our current content without lifting a finger. I will write a blog on the website for this tip, it's really cool.

Thank you for your review. obRSS works well with JoomSEF, AceSEF, sh404SEF, SEF Advance, and of course built-in Joomla SEF.
Our school district has 9 sites. Using RSS Feed Creator to feed content from the district site to each of the individual school sites saves a lot of time and makes communication easier. I had some difficulty as documentation isn't up to date with current version of the component. Tech support was good and helped me sort out configuration. I'm a fan.

Thank you for your review. Using this Joomla RSS Syndicate extension on Joomla Master site to update content on slave sites, it's very brilliant way to implement multiple Joomla site solution. Thanks again for sharing it to the Joomla community.
This is an absolutely great RSS product for distrubuting RSS feeds. Easy setup and integrates with other popular components. The support is fast, prompt and courteous. Thanks!

Thank you for your review. Syndicate your content via RSS with obRSS is easy and flexible with add-on architecture. We can say: Syndicate Everything with obRSS ;)
I bought RSS Factory thinking it would be good.. they are two different products techbnically, but this one does so much more, along with Slick RSS and Im set. I lost money with RSS Factory, but the look and feel of this, frontend and backend is worth the money.

Thank you for the review of yours. Every product has it own purpose, I'm happy this Joomla RSS Syndicate extension suits your needs and made you happy.
I was looking a long time for this great RSS Feeder. It's easy to use and can do all
the needs what a RSS Feeder has to do. I'm working with it now for some days and everything
is running fine. I was trying some other RSS components, but this one is by far the best and
is worth its price. As for me, search engine optimized programming is important,
this was of course also crucial for me to decide this component.
Namely, the component supports the two Joomla SEF components, Artio JoomSEF and sh404SEF.
Moreover, it should be mentioned that the support from JLord is excellent and fast.
A second thumb up for Thong and his cool team.
Best regards and keep it up :-)

Thank you for your review, Fractalus. Our Joomla RSS Syndicate extension works fine with almost existing SEF extension: standard Joomla SEF, Artio JoomSEF, sh404SEF, AceSEF, SEF Advance.
Fantastic component and work like a charm. Had to modify few text in and got a prompt support from Thong. This is very much appreciated and thumb up for a cool team.
Keepup the good work guys.
Big salute to opensource !! ;-)

Hahah, thank you for the review of yours & Welcome to the Joomla Open Source community, another happy customer ;)
jLord RSS does exactly what it says and more. It has made the readership to my site go up and has made it easier for our viewers to obtain information from our site which is updated daily. Also, the developer has given the best support that I have ever had in dealing with Joomla... and that includes dealing with freelance developers. I would recommend this component as a solid RSS option for your site.
After trawling for an extension that will allow me to create precise and relevant feeds for several days, I'm astounded that I missed this one. having downloaded and "played" with it for a few hours, learning a few tricks on using Sections and Categories along the way, I vote this to be the best by far for Joomla 1.5 and well worth the price. It's easy to install and intuitive to use but just one thing - when you're first setting up, disable the cache or you won't see your changes in real time. Highly recommended!
