The component is shipped with different views, allowing output in a simple table, output using tags, and output for just the picture. Most importantly: Each list can be configured through the "Parameter" section of the appropriate menu-item (in the Menu Manager).
Some people just use SimpleLists for the smooth graphical effects it comes along with. That's fine, but SimpleLists has also made firm choices regarding the non-usage of Joomla! articles and Joomla! categories. If you would like those smooth graphical effects to be combined with Joomla! articles and Joomla! categories, you're NOT looking for SimpleLists. If you want to know, check out the SimpleLists FAQ.

I'd like to be able to alphabetize the categories and allow the categories to be seen in two columns. Other than that... Great Job...thanks!
I think this is a great litte extension, the only thing that would be great if you could 'fix' is the same issue highlighted a few posts down by sanjeewasam, point 2.
I'd love to use the hover function but because there's loads of text they pop out of my border so I can't.

I like this component. It's easy to use and it looks great.
It allows me to showcase bands. The frontpage contains pictures of the band with a couple of lines of text. They link to an article which contains more info about the band.
However, there's one thing that I think would improve the friendliness. I use the basic layout, and it would be nice if the items were sorted in rows and columns. Right now each item is under another item.
Also, there's one thing I stumbled upon that needs a fix:
in the item page, if I click on the upload button, I can upload an image in images/simplelists. However, if I upload it, it goes to [b]images/[/b] instead of /images/simplelists.
Other than that, a very good component. Keep up the good work. :)

I was looking for a popup tool so that I could display a help icon next to each item in a list, but then I found this extension and decided to use it instead. I wanted something easy which allowed me to save space on my page and this extension delivered.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I was searching for a component like this and glad I found it. I used it for my site and love it.
However, with few of the following improvements this could really go places
1) use joomla categories (others have commeneted on it) .
2) Has too many parameters but nothing to control page length for hover layer effect. Without it some text, pictures go out of page boarders and is difficult to control.
3) ability to use joomla or JEC editor feature for read more would be nice to have

First I want to thanks all the team that develop the simplelist. Is great.
I upgrade the component to the last version, and i found and error in the code. It's missing the "echo" that show the READ MORE button, in this file: \components\com_simplelists\views\simplelist\tmpl\table.php, in line 31.
I wope that warning help the other users.
Once again, thanks for the nice job.

Hi Mag11, thanks for your feedback. This has been fixed now SVN and the fix will be included in the next version. Could you use the forum next time to indicate bugs or problems?
I tried it, and I like its backend, but I was expecting that it can work with Joomla content, like articles, categories and sections.
It would be nice to have an equivalent for alpha content in this Simple Lists Suite. It will also be nice to have external RSS management.
Thanks

This is an awesome extension. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now. Totally recommended if have a site which has alot of content. One thing though maybe in the next upgrade if you guys could work on maybe a unique rating system for this. My content list are run by rating. If there was a way for simple lists to order by rating then this would be key. Could you please use this in your next upgrade?

In the past I searched for a component to show my projects. One day I discovered this component, the version 1.5.0.8, I installed and I loved it! So simple and so efficient!
Today I consult the official website to view if it has some new version and yes! I upgrade with no problems, very easy and the improvements are great BUT this component has mutch more potential.
Team, keep the good work and thanks so much!

This component has a lot of potential. Developers need to make this component more competent to make it one of the best Joomla! component!!!

Easy to install, customize and set-up. This is going to be so handy for my website development. Check out the demo to make sure this works for you, then have at it. I was able to get my lists integrated very quickly.

It is very good and helps me so much but I wish it could have sub categories to choose from the categories... If you guys can include that it would be the perfect simple listing ever!! ;-)

This has been added in SL 1.5.1.0. Thanks for the suggestion.

This component does work well. It has a clean and simple method. BUT it could vastly be improved if you could use it to manage existing categories or articles.
The ability to move an exisiting article from the core to this component would be fantastic.

it's nice to find anything that doesn't involve 2 hours to a day to learn and use it immediately after downloading. Simple and fun.

If I could use my current set of Sections and Categories and the content published within those, this would be the perfect Component for what I need!
Maybe future versions. Nice component though.

Actually we decided not to use regular Sections/Categories because they are a little bit limiting. SimpleLists offers a different content-type which is not the same as an article.
What you're looking for is something like SimpleLists allowing you to choose different layouts for regular articles. For sure we look into solving this with SimpleLists, but I wonder if this should not be a different extensions.
byHókuszpók on May 25, 2008
Very clean code! Perfect extension, I use this for team listings, project member listings.

Having just installed this component I must say this is exactly what I've been looking for. I needed a simple to use and customizable extension to list all of my current client-projects, and couldn't find any that just did what it was supposed to do. After a few minutes of tinkering and trying to find the best view, I decided that this component was exactly what I needed.
Great job!
Great job!

This component addresses a feature that I found lacking. It works well and gives neat results without much fiddling. It would need the ability to give items multiple categories for different lists containing the same items more than once though.

This is simple for sure but a great component in my view. If you need to list or need to add information on your site but don't need anything cumbersome, then try this.
One thing I would like is automatic sorting, meaning you can choose from the backend if your items should be sorted the way you enter them, alphabetically or reverse alphabetically, etc...
Great job and Thank you!!
