The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Hay I like this extensions.So easy to use and so useful.Carry on my dear friend

First of all, support for iDoBlog is very difficult. There is no direct email and it seems their community forums are full of spam, so I really wonder if they take any care at answering the requests there.

I have mixed feelings about the extension. On my first site, it worked perfectly. On a second site, which is almost a duplicate of the first one, I receive a javascript error with SuperNote.js regarding '_evts' being null or nothing, which then prevents me from using other components that also use javascript because the JS engine stops.

If it wasn't for this problem, I would probably give a better score to the extension, so I hope somebody will read my request on their forum, or perhaps here!

Thanks

A very easy component to install and configure, I had been trying several and this one won, no need to worry about a last post module as all you need to do is add a menu item from list for latest posts.

If you have concerns with security why not just go to your file manager on the server and check that access is limited as it should be.

A great free multi user blog!!

the only thing the free version seems to be missing is a module to show all blog entries, as per comments module

This is not finished addon.
Many of very inportant functions do not work!
Bad! Bad! Bad! First - FINISH IT, only then published!

Spent a lot of time trying to get this working but wasn't worth it in the end. Very buggy software and poor support.

what can i say, after searching related component, finally i found this excellent component for blogging.
I already installed the component and its work, just one thing, the theme are too simple..

nice work..and thanks

works like a charm but i cannot write a comment it gives the following error....

Error: the XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
Received:

Excellent blog extension. I tried all the other free ones here. I find IDO the best free one at Joomla.

Thanks for the extension.

I cant really see what you can offer without a demo page. I visited your site but i cant find either there a demo page that shows your blogs in action.

Hope it can be added in the future

When I try to write any blog i get that error

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /plugins/editors/tinymce.php on line 433

also appear in any editor
can any one help ?

I had high hopes for this component as it installed easily and was looking to be a solid simple blog component. After playing with it a bit I selected my preferred template and started to tweak it to suit my site. After getting into the code I see lots of style embedded in the code - but that's just the beginning. The code is messy and that makes it hard to work on. While cleaning up the code, I've found a number of bugs that would have otherwise been impossible to discover.

It would be nice if a failed captcha would preserve the user's post for a second attempt instead of throwing it all away. This seems to be partially complete but it's a fundamental thing that will drive users away. The ability to save new comments for Moderator approval would be good too.

I know it sounds like I'm being harsh but as a professional developer, I'd prefer fewer features and a cleaner implementation!

Everything is excellent mate,but what the hell?!no class for the comments text in the CSS?i mean i use a black template and the text i use for it is white,now...the comments when using the template idoblog...inherits the color of the template's text and as you guessed i cant read the text,i suggest you ad a sepparate class for the comments text so users can change colors as they like instead of having the color inherited from a class of the template!

Rating, 4.5
I have been using Idoblog for over a year now. They just released their updated Idoblog Community Version, and it works much better than the last version- no bugs so far :)

Members now have the ability to add html, videos, pictures to their profiles, which was seriously lacking in last version. Groups ("Communities") are easier to edit and manage. The Idoblog team continues to work very hard to deliver a flawless component.

Feature requests:

1. Allow plugin for jcomments to work with the editor field on the front of the profiles. Currently not working/supported.
--or add the default ido comment form there.

2. Bring back the previous list (shown on the front of their profile, like in the last version) of users blog posts so that they can be easily seen in order, rather than searching entire blog view or relying on activity stream.

3. Allow member to upload/choose a file/color to customize profile background, rather than installing a completely new profile choice.

I must say, Once Idoblog has achieved these, they will definitely deserve a 10 star rating! Hopefully in the next version, and the next version look will be the same look, just with these added features!

Thank You Idoblog for an outstanding product and for your support! You Rock!

This is a great product. I have it working very well on a number of sites. Being Free, I dont ask for much and enjoy the community support. I find the IDOBlog community very inactive. Myself and at least on other person have posts about incorrect timestamps on blog entries. It seems nobody in the community answers questions very often.

Apart from that, more than happy !

It's an over all good blog extension, but it lacks in important functionality, or at least I was unable to discover it.

First of all, I wasn't able to create two different blogs associated with one user account. That's a pity, since I need two separate and unrelated blogs: a personal one and a development blog for the game I'm making.

Second, there appears to be no possibility of enabling comment moderation and restricting comments only to registered users. My site is having severe spam problems and needs spam-proof solutions.

To sum up: a good choice for people who have basic needs and experience no spam problems. A bad choice for all the others.

I use this module on a company intranet and it is perfect for the task. It is the only blog component I could find which installed easily, ran well and had not problem (so far!!).

I like IDOBLOG better than the blogging system I paid for, that I'm using on my other Joomla site. It's very straightforward, with all the essential features. Fast. Nice editor. Compact layout. Fits perfectly into my template as if it was made for it. I didn't have to fuss over IDOBLOG at all. I will keep my eye on this script. I hope they integrate with Jomsocial eventually.

It seems OK, but as to what has to do with J1.5.14 it doesn't work the way it should be. The profile doesn't work and you can't save a thing. The casts are for J1.5.3, and the problem that has come up with TinyMCE since J1.5.12 doesn't let you do much. Even if you have chosen other editor, it just won't let you select it. The forum is working from time to time but you won't find easily what you're looking for. Still, I can wait for the next edition, but for now, ..err... nope.

IDoBlog Free is a good component. It looks nice. IDoBlog Pro was even better because it had Community Builder integration and some cool features. The developer abandoned it. That leaves only one viable blog component for Joomla, a very expensive and not necessarily better system. And for that one you have to buy the comments system separately.

To the developer, why not start developing the Pro component again? Price it at about half of what it was before and you can maximize your profit because a lot of people are looking for such a sleek blog system that works and works with CB. Thanks!
