I had trouble with the XML Bulk Import (it only handles one import document at a time). With the benefit of hindsight, I would have better off not using the XML import and just migrated existing entries by mapping them direct to the JomDirectory tables.
JomDirectory also gave me a JQuery version conflict that meant I had to uninstall another plug-in, but I can live with that.
I had to make substantial modifications to JomDirectory (mostly to Smarty template code) to meet my client's requirements, but once I understood JomDirectory's internal structure it wasn't hard to make the changes in a way that was consistent with JomDirectory's OOTB features.
1st of all what they advertise is false. For instance the import function. It's not the standard xl file that you can import. You need to have serious xml programming knowledge to import records or pay them another 100 euros if you need that.
So I had to manually enter my 600 plus records only to find out more falsehoods.
Jomdirectory is listed as a directory, but it's not. This package was meant to be for real estate so the functionality doesn't work if you want users to simply list their business.
Users will be treated like an agency who can list many companies if they have the right number of points that you need to manage in the back-end.
Entering a price is mandatory for every listing. I know it doesn't make sense but this is just part of this confusing component that doesn't meet the basic requirements to be called a directory listing component.
I could go on but the point is do yourself a favor and don't pay for this. If you desperately need to get rid of money, I am willing to send you my paypal or you could donate it to any good cause. Buying this com will be a waste of time and money if you are looking for a directory listing extension.
Actually, I should have known. Anyone who knows their extension works fine will offer you a trial period.
To the programmers: I truly hope you manage to reprogram your component to make it work because it has some nice elements. I just think it's wrong of you to advertise it the way you do.
Just do like all the hard working programmers here do, spend the time to develop at least the basic requirements before you sell your stuff. Try to make a quick buck by renaming a com is just wrong and you know it.
JomDirectory offers all the directory features and much more. It is a true directory component.
For the import feature you'll need to match xml fields and it is well documented, not so hard to accomplish.
Points system can be turned off, please read documentation.
Price is not mandatory,please ask first or again read the documentation. It can be turned off globally or for single listing.

i ran into some jquery issues also, had to do major jquery cleanup of all components and extensions and then force jquery to load in the map frame. i've posted it on the forum of this developer.
other than those issues, everything else is working fine. a fine component :-).
This is one of the best components i am using in joomla.the support from technical team is really very nice and very quick....
Good job team
This is at the higher end in regards to cost for components but there is a reason for that. It's a great product and the support is great too. I had answers over the weekend and they've logged onto my server to fix permission problems with files - something they didn't have to do.
Having used this now and given it a good test, I'm more than happy to recommend this to others.
The support is always essential in any kind of software that we buy, and in this one, they're fast, kind and helpful, what actually is awesome!
Thank you guys.
I highly recommend this extension as the best directory tool out there!
