This was exactly what I wanted for my Trade Show Schedule page, except one thing -- it doesn't allow for HTML in the description area. Because of this I couldn't make the dates bold and stand out, so I ended up just putting them on a content page.

Is there any way HTML could be enabled, please? Otherwise this is perfect for what I'm looking for!

Hey, i really like this extension, it`s quite nice and easy to handle with, but can`t use it on my website cause the links are not visible to Google.
You`ve said that you will work on it, so if you are done maybe you can upload your new version.

I will definitely rate it with 5 stars ;)

Cheers

I could be max rating.
But, one most important thing. Google spiders cannot find URLs in source code.

So, if you use this extension for Web links collection, it is contradicting all purpose for Google and SEO.

For instance if you have a link "Friends", there you want help your friends with logo and URL to help them get better listings at Google.

Regarding styling. It is very easy to style extension. Just don´t think ordinary way.

Its great and does what it should - almost :)

It seems that the image-path setting has no effect - the images must always be placed in images/stories.

Also it would be nice if the images were centered, not just aligned to the left.
Owner's reply

Thank you for using it!

I think you probably created menu items to build new web pages so you need to set image-path when you add menu item or change attribute for it.

You can simply select "no" for "Use CSS" from parameters panel and use your own CSS style.

Installed easily and worked out of the box. It appears the other reviewer bashed this extension for not having features the dev never claimed it to have. Sure, it could use more features, but it does what it claims and it does it well.

Joomla! is in need of a more advanced links component. I hope the dev take this one to the limit. I will gladly play test dummy for any updates to this extension. We need a decent links extension and this may be the start of exactly that.

Thank you so much! I will do my best!

A decent weblinks component/module is badly needed for Joomla. The core weblinks is horrible, so I was excited about trying this out.

This isn't much better.

It is not very pretty, you can't upload images on the back side, it doesn't autoscale images on the front side, it doesn't work with SH404SEF, it doesn't display short descriptions, you have pick out category images or you'll get an image not found error, you have to input category descriptions or you'll see [cat_desc] displayed on front page..

Basically, it is the core Joomla weblinks with the ability to link a logo to it.

Installed, spent 10 minutes configuring it, created 3 categories and 3 links in each category, saw how bad it looked, uninstalled.

Hi, Thank you for your comment.

Actually, The core function of this component/module is to provide the ability to put the logo for link as you mentioned cause I got this trouble last year when I coded a Joomla website, So I think it is a problem which other designers or developers are facing now, it is the most important reason why I would like to release it for the public in here.

For further functions, I will keep improving it and also hope you guys tell me by email or leaving comments if get any errors or bugs.
