The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Sincerely, I would never have managed to get my website working without this extension... The client wanted a directory, with a specific look&feel, just because a contender already had it... Not only Workforce worked well out of the box, but also it proved to be quite easy to personalize (the code is quite accessible), and the support was just perfect, helping me sort out each issue in a few hours. I always prefer open-source solutions, but I'm glad I spent a few bucks on this one.

Works perfectly out the box, support is tops, no doubt one of the best and useful extensions I have used ;) Thanks again

This extension "rocks the house"!!!!!!

Easy to use. Very intuitive!

The support offered is AMAZING, ACCURATE, FRIENDLY & TIMELY!

Very well thought out and well done!

I had been going nuts with some CCK products, trying to make them work the way I wanted as a biz directory. I've used IProperty by these guys, which is great so I thought I'd give this a try. Easy to install and configure. Was up and running in under 5 minutes and is the ideal solution for my application.

Amazing component! Although it lacks some features, as any software, everything is covered with their awesome support.

This is a nice extension if it is not commercial. Clear layout, nice structured MVC coding. However,
the last update is almost 1 years ago,a lot of key features are always in developing.

New update, this extension doesn't work with joomla 1.6

A clean, easy-to-use solution for listing employees. I sent a few questions to the developers about needing a custom module... and they made that too! I'm impressed. Thanks Thinkery, you have my vote.

Great product. When I did have a problem with a configuration (server) issue, the support team worked with me and came up with a solution. Much appreciated.

Found a small bug in the extension, posted question on their forum. Vinny got back to me immediately and updated and fixed the code within 24 hours.

Superb component, simple to use and works beautifully. Well done guys.

WorkForce is a great product - very easy to use and even easier to install. Support is excellent and very quick. Well worth the small purchase cost.

This component delivers on its promises, perfect for listing my staff! Recommend this component to all!

This component works well on its own. However if you try to embed some dynamic flash content (regardless of embedding technique) anywhere on a page that is also running work force, your flash content will be blocked. Similarly if you are running a flash based joomla plugin anywhere on a page that is also running work force, you flash content will again be blocked.

Running flash ads, menus, and content is crucial to a significant number of websites. This component renders them all useless. Had i know about this incompatibility i would not have purchased.

I hope the developer can come up with a fix in an update.

As advertised, did exactly what it said it would do with a great design. When I did face an issue, support was on it immediately! Great, thanks.

This is the best staff directory component I've found. While there are some features missing at this point that I'd like (Joomla Search plug-in, department separation), overall I think this is a great component. The developers are very responsive to forums, and seem to be actively improving and adding to their product. Definitely recommended!

The component works like a charm, and minor personal tweaks was a welcome. I had a minor problem with the email and Vincent fixed it overnight. I hope he gets paid overtime. Thanks!

Thinkery's Workforce is just what I needed to show golf pros on our website. It was easy to install and configure and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This is a great tool to show employees with a contact form. Although this component could use a couple more features that I hope they will include in the next releases, I would recommend it time and again. Their support is fantastic. I had several questions & Vinnie answered them immediately.

Way to go, Thinkery!

Software was easy to install. I had some questions and I got great support right away to custumize the look to the way I wanted. The contact form is a nice plus. An excellent piece of work once it includes some documentation.

I've been using a similar component (staffmaster) for a little over a year now, and have fought through it's shortcomings. Now here comes Work Force which, at first glance, looks very promising.

Workforce has a nice clean frontend interface, and individual contact forms for each employee. Each employee has his/her own bio,photo, phone number, fax number, address, email etc. The backend (admin) side of things is nice and clean too. Mostly self explanitory, very easy to navigate, understand and configure. However, this simplicity is a bit of a shortcoming too.

Once setup, you can only choose to display either a single department, a single employee, or the entire staff. Selecting the entire staff is where Work Force falls short. There is no easy way to arrange, the departments or employees in any kind of heirarchy. For example. If you would like to put your companies administration team at the top of the page, with the President first, followed by the Vice-presidents, etc... it can not be done.

There is a brief post on their forums about arranging the departments/employees to your liking, which states is not that difficult if you understand Joomla and php. I'm sure that it could be done fairly easily, but not by me.

Overall Work Force has some strong potential, and may work out of the box for some people. I hope that development continues and more flexibility becomes available. A good job out of the gate for Thinkery, I'm looking forward to future releases though.
