Trombinoscope
- This extension requires registration to download.
Features:
- select one or more categories, specific contact (Joomla! 2.5+) or logged user (Joomla! 2.5+),
- select sub-categories automatically (Joomla! 2.5+),,
- set the maximum number of contacts to show (if nothing specified, it will show all contacts),
- show only the published contacts,
- set the alignment in which the picture is shown (possible to alternate left and right),
- the images do not 'bleed' out of the column (automatic size restriction),
- set the order of the contacts (ascending or descending order with names formatted as one or 2 words, which is great for contacts with firstname/lastname),
- set the view format of the name,
- show a default picture if contact pictures are missing. If not set, will use the default fallback styling for contacts with no picture (default picture size is 100px X 120px),
- show up to 5 fields from the contacts,
- show extra fields like a formatted address,
- set the contact link label to access the contact page. If no label is specified, will use the name as the link,
- open the contact in a standard page or a popup (no form allowed in popup),
- several options to format the information (empty fields, spaces when information is missing),
- fully css customizable,
- back-end in English, French and Dutch (thanks to John Verheijen).
Buy the enhanced version 'Trombinoscope Extended' for much more functionality!
I am using also the Trombinoscope Extended component, both are great and saved me a lot of work. Excellent support.
(I wish we could also display only one contact by entering the contact ID in the module parameters screen.)
Thanks for the review, it is greatly appreciated.
The contact id addition, among other improvements is planned for all versions of Trombinoscope. In the meantime, it is possible to create a category for the contact and show that category (all depending on your configuration).
Using the Joomla contacts is clever as it means I can maintain the business information without having to change an article each time (I originally was using a table in an article; not user-friendly).
It looks super! Highly recommended - and I am not a very technical person so if I can use it anyone can :-)
Thank you so much for the review :-)
Thanks again
Thank you, I appreciate your comment.
Thank you :-)
Only thing you have to remember is to create a page/menu (may be hidden or a menu type not published) with the intended contacts. Rest it will look after. The support, I must say, is fantastic...really quick and very helpful. I got some tips that I would have not tried myself.
Simply great module and great developer.
Thanks a lot for this review.
I expect a further update to the module to address the menu item issue and avoiding the workaround all together.
Try out yourself!!!
Thank you so much for the review. The problem with contact links encountered by a few has been identified and the resolution is posted on the website. Thank you for asking for support before giving a bad rating to the extension, it is greatly appreciated.
My only gripe is lack of support (so far). SEF breaks the contact links on my site.
Thanks for the review, it is greatly appreciated.
Do not hesitate to contact me at olivier.buisard@simplifyyourweb.com or through the website for support. We can try and analyse why the contact links are broken.
It gives a very nice layout for a staff listing.
The CSS was very easy to modify to meet my needs.
Although it is a module, I as able to integrate it into an article using {loadposition} and I now have exactly what I want for this site.
Thanks to the developer.
Thank you for your review and for pointing out the fact that in can be used in other ways than just a regular module.
Easy to configurate also css is easy to change to your needs.
I like this extension very much and if you need a different layout of the contact page I would recommend this for sure.
Thank you so much for this review...
