Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Making use of ShrinkTheWeb to create thumbnail snapshots of the links added, and querying popular search engines to determine pagerank information, Bookmarks Reloaded is a 1.7 native extension which makes full use of the developments including
- Category and bookmarks can be restricted to Joomla! ACL's
- Import facility to bring your bookmarks and categories into Bookmarks Reloaded
- Nested categories with the facility to add links to multiple categories
I came in search of a replacement for the original TEG version of the Bookmarks component for Joomla 1.5, and found this just as it was being launched. Despite initial bugs, the Virya team put forth an excellent effort - the wonderful responsiveness, great attitude, and genuine effort by Ruth & Ben got all of the issues sorted out, and they haven't stopped there - more improvements are in the works. In addition to importing old data from the legacy TEG extension, this is 1.7 / 2.5 compatible, which is a godsend when your data is trapped in an older version.
The one caveat to be aware of is that the only screenshooter service used at the moment requires a $5 / Month subscription to work properly. The Virya team found out about this after the fact (the conditions changed after the component was developed), and they're looking for alternative, free solutions already.
