I can truly say that this component is Intuitive, easy to install and support is excellent.
I am a newbe to Genealogy and doubted if I would understand how to start. I strubbled on this component and I have not regrets, from day one Niels has been supportive to distraction (even on a busy schedule).
This is component looks daunting but a comprehensive manual is available, if like me you find manuals confusing then just download the component set up the basics no need for Gedcom and just start adding your family tree from the front-end.
Voila, log out and there you are the start of your family tree.
Take a look at Neils site you will see the wishlist I mean come on guys this is currently free, Neils is a busy chap and still the support is better than most paid components.
I can rave all day, A maga Thank you to the developer Neils who is giving back to the Joolma community.

Thanks for your enthusiastic endorsement. Greatly appreciated.
I have been using JOAKTREE for some time now and I truly believe it is an amazing app! It gives me a chance to share my information with the online community! Thanks for developing it for us!
I decided to build a family tree site with Joomla 1.6 to make use of its ACL feature. Joaktree is the ideal component to compliment this. Getting your GEDCOM file set up takes a bit of care, but the documentation is very good and detailed.
I particularly like the way you can integrate custom articles with your tree members. I had a query about article linking, and the developer answered back in hours with a solution. You rarely see this response with commercial support.
I have no hestitation in recommending this excellent component.

I installed yesterday and had my site up and running in 2½ hours. It installed flawlessly and worked - it keeps the promises.
Now I'm into tweaking the settings.
My favourite extension for genealogy, tried others as well but this one beats them all.

Thanks for your enthousiasm!
Wow! Great program. I had one minor problem which I solved quickly. My genealogy software created a GEDCOM file as version 5.5.1. I used a text editor and changed the version from 5.5.1 to 5.5 and Joaktree accepted the GEDCOM upload with no problems. I look froward to future enhancements.

Issue with version 5.5.1 is resolved in Joaktree component v1.2.4.
