I have been using Joomla for quite some time now and bought a few extensions also. This is by far the worst one.
The extension is incomplete with absolutely no answer from the developers through forum or through their support ticekt system.
The idea of the component is excellent and as i can understand it was so also for those who use the 1.5 version of joomla. But for 1.7.x it is not doing anything even close to what they say it does.
Do not buy it until the developers show some interest in their own forums and their support tickets.

I am sorry to hear this but it seems to me that you have installed the wrong version. We have versions for all joomla distributions, also for J2.5.
Did exactly what I needed it to do...Saved me time... and allowed me to keep my sanity... the developer was extremely helpful in answering all my questions (pre and post sale) and getting back with me in a timely manner... Overall one of the best extensions that I have paid for. Simple set up and deployment. Delivers! If you're looking to take your CB install to a new level... GET IT!
At the beginning of my social project callingtohelp.de I was looking for an extension that offers different profiles with different access levels. I was happy to finally found this extension which covered all the requirements. Although there had been difficulties with the new release beginning this year, I got an excellent support even on the weekend. Thanks for your amazing help - especially to the programmer Al.
Reliable, timely support - just have to ask! As a new Joomla user, I've needed it. We are in different time zones, so there was a slight (understandable) delay. Trusty, good karma developer in my experience. Has done somersaults for me.
I bought a subscription to Proma in order to use it with AEC, but it seems that Proma DON'T WORK WITH AEC ANYMORE!!!, even on your site is written that it works! This is not about 20 euros that I spent (which at this point I consider to be charity), this is about being HONEST with your customers. I hope you will not disappoint us with the "upcoming version supports payments out of the box", even the promised release period was long time ago.

This is simply not true, in order to integrate Proma and AEC you need to make use of AEC's micro integration, not the other way around.
It is still possible to integrate the two together and let AEC assign the proper profile type, additionally we could have provided help for making this possible. Too bad that you have not approached us for a request but left us a negative review here which is not the proper place for requesting support.
This is not a 1.6 extension, which you will discover *after* you purchase it. It will install on a Joomla 1.6 site, however much of it's proposed function simply does not work. I've had to fix several files just to get the admin views displaying and I'm continually finding bugs and having to fix them.
To be fair to the developers, once you've purchased it they say that it's a 1.6 *Beta* extension and that it should not be used on a production site. They also offer to do an install, and perhaps they even have a checklist where they go through and fix all the errors that I'm discovering. However, I emailed them for support three days ago and haven't heard back. And with the kinds of bugs I'm finding, I know that it is not just a matter of configuration for a 1.6 site ant that significant portions of code need to be added, replaced, or corrected.
It's fine to have a beta product, but you shouldn't be advertising it as a working extension, especially because it's commercial.

Thanks for your review but I have to correct you on a few points. Our beta versions are always free until a release candidate is published, at that time they become commercial. If you had visited our free download section you would have found out and could have requested a free setup done by us despite of it being a free download. About not hearing back from us, we must have overlooked your email as we always reply within minutes during business hours. On a side note, the software is not in beta status anymore, it is now a release candidate. Nonetheless, thank you for your review.
We manage a large member group that uses Joomla and CB. Proma has made our work easier and their support is AMAZING!
Thank you to the developer for an amazing tool

First of all a Big Thank you to DutchDeveloper for all the help, patience and love he puts in this project and the way he gets involved with every detail of the code. We at Myhitplace.com needed a way to control and have different user levels, profile types, registration etc and CB was pretty complex and limitative on that area, so then came Proma to the rescue. I have nothing but good words for Proma. Dutchdevelloper is really listening to what we have to say and our experience is used to improve the component. We have been working shoulder to shoulder for almost a year now and i must say that this is how all Joomla community of developers should behave.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Was purchased "installed". One simple subsequent user definition error was reviewed and changed directly by the developer. Highly recommendable.

Glad to know that you are enjoying our software, it was my pleasure to have helped you out and glad to have you onboard!
The developer provides a GREAT SUPPORT if you have any questions or if you have any "extra" needs! Regardless of when I sent the questions, a response was in my mailbox with help or suggestion within a couple of hours.
The component is very flexible and really does what is says, and is a great add on to CB.
Thanks

Thanks for the nice review and for reporting a bug that we could fix for you and our other customers.
First off support - GREAT SUPPORT - I have had responses within an hour - everyone is not in the same time zone - so maybe that is why others may have had "issues" with support not being "fast enough"
As far as the extension goes - It adds GREAT functionality to your site. Not only can you have different types of profiles - the important part (to my site) was DIFFERENT REGISTRATIONS with different required fields - this is the ONLY product I have found so far that makes that possible - and as far as I can tell there is no limit to how many different types you can have.
Lastly you get what you pay for...Better support - continued development. the price is very reasonable - Go for the "platnium" it's only a few bucks more...espically with the discounts that are published right when you buy...(not sure how long they will be there...so buy now- right? LOL)

Extension not useable. PHP errors in every tab of admin section and blew up standard front end login. Does not do what says it does.

Unfortunately You have not given us a proper chance to resolve the issue before posting this review, the issue which is not related to our software is actually an easy fix however we cannot help you if there is no interaction, we have tried to contact you but have never heard back. I am not sure how this review can help other people decide whether the software would be good for their needs when its based solely on a server related issue and not about the usage of the software. Nonetheless we're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied.
You could not ask for better support! I have full trust in Al to allow him Super Admin privilages to my site without question.
The component is remarkable for allowing different levels of registration within your site. I couldn't have my site without it!
Thanks Al

Thanks for the wonderful review. We're glad to have helped you out and that you are enjoying our software!
I bought this extension in the hope that it would allow me to organize my site-members into 3 groups . The fact is it gives you much more control than that than that ! It wasn't until I started to play around with the configuration a bit that I realised how much it allowed you to do.
In addition the customer support is second to none. I've emailed a couple of questions via the website and always got the answer the same day.

Bought PROMA this morning. Unfortunately the "confirmation" link was broken, so I could not download PROMA. After sending A email to support (@ 8 O'clock in the morning) I recieved A email after 10 minutes with the component attached. So the service must be great!
Component works very well also.

Hi there!
It's really a usefull extension but the version for CB 1.2.2 is still a little bit buggy.
I tried many times to get support via their own forum but nothing happens!
Also i found no update for the 21.3.2010
So, nice Sunday

I installed Proma 3 a few months ago and it provides excellent flexibility over CB for Profile Management. I am using AEC - JACL - PROMA -CB to provide a client solution and I can say that Proma support has been responsive and they have gone well beyond their remit to help out with associated integration issues to get my site functioning as planned. Post sales support is extremely important and often underrated by developers. I can raise some v. minor concerns with integration to be resolved, but these are far outweighed by the genuine support provided to resolve them for me. More should follow their example.
