Report

I needed a compact slideshow that will changes images automatically, enlarge images when selected, display hidden thumbnails and Joomfish compatible.

Everything was there except the Joomfish component. I asked Em Component for support, they answered me quickly, and installed their beta plugin for me, with no charge. Great service! The Joomfish plugin works perfectly.

Thanks to EM Components to make my website looks better!
This extension does exactly what it's supposed to. The interface in the backend is simple yet configurable, and the slideshow just works.

Support is great to. We've emailed them several times about styling and licensing issues and they have been prompt, courteous, and helpful every time.

Thanks!
I had a problem with my mootools setup and the guys at EMcomponents worked tirelessly to sort it out.

Many thanks- highly recommend...
I tried many other slide show plug-ins before I decided to pay for EM Slide Show, A decision based on these reviews. I'm glad I did, it works better than any I've seen, and is very easy to use.

Customer support has been awesome. I had a very obscure issue specifically with IE6 (no problems with FF3, FF2, Opera, Chrome, Safari, IE5.5, & IE7). They responded and solved the problem quickly, which turned out to be a missing tag in an article, NOT an issue with their product.

I really can't speak highly enough about this slideshow.

I had a long list of criteria for my images and this meet them all:

++sleek and stylish
++customizable size, background
++fast loading
++secure
++easy to use
++flexible enough to go anywhere on the site
++works for informational slideshows and photogalleries
++automatically resizes images and shows thumbnails in a navigation bar to save on space

I am coding and php dense so I ran into a couple of problems regarding permissions, but the support team fixed it all for me quickly and were very friendly.

GREAT extension and definately worth the money if you want something that looks and works really well.

I have created about 25 Joomla sites and tried just about every slideshow out there. This is by far the best and worth every penny.

I am a pretty advanced software developer but ran into an issue with the dynamic creation of the thumbnails that I was not able to resolve. The support group jumped onto my site and resolved the issue for me in no time.

I admit, I normally look for open source extensions first, but after not finding any that were simple to use and met my needs, I purchased this one. I'm quickly changing my mind about commercial extensions. It is well worth the money - very simple, great documentation (Note to extension developers: PDF downloads are soooooo helpful) and I had it working in mere minutes.

I can't comment on help from the developer because the documentation was so excellent, that I didn't need it! Great job and awesome extension that I will use over and over (I really appreciate the multi-site license!). Thanks again and keep up the good work.

this is a must have extension...

I have searched high and low for a good solution for a slideshow for client websites. This was the answer! I don't have to teach a client how to create a text file, or where to upload images outside of Joomla, or look for a component that is easy to set up. Clients love it because they find it easy to understand, and they aren't overwhelmed by the steps required to edit the slideshow. You have to pay for this combination component/mambot/module, but it is well worth it. AND you can embed it in a content item! Good investment!

This is a really good product, i would definitely encourage people to use it. it was easy to set up and more importantly it is easy for the users of the CMS to add images to a gallery.
I was very impressed with the service i got when i needed a little helping hand.

Good work guys.

i will be using this again in the future.

Excellent work, this component does exactly what they say it does and does it very good. I had no trouble installing it and setting it up, their guide has all the details one would ever need. I was using it in under 30 minutes after downloading it.

I highly recommend it, it's a must have !
This extension does exactly what it says, and does it well. The installation and configuration is simple, and embedding it into your website is easy. My only request is that the display control should change its orientation when the picture it displays changes orientation.
This product is simply outstanding and must be on your short list if you wish to add a slide show to your Joomla site. The product is elegant and integrates superbly into the Joomla backend. Equally as important, the support team is responsive and will work overtime with you to get your installation up and running. I have absolutely no reservation in giving this product my highest rating A++++++!
This extension is one of the best I have installed and am delighted with it but more importantly the support I received from Alex and team is second to none. If you need a first class extension, choose this one!
We used the EM Slide Show in the header of our website to rotate header images. It was easy to use and when we had a question, the support was great. They emailed us back right away. Excellent all around!!!

Just a quick note to echo the other reviews about the great service after the purchase that these guys did for me. Thanks Alex!
byandreag2f on March 5, 2008
This extension looks great as well as being easy to use and also the support mechanism like no other! The guys responded really quickly to my queries and not only helped me but explained what I needed to do/where I was going wrong. I can definitely recommend this one.
First of all, the responsetime for support must be mentioned. It's just greate.
And the ability to have pictures in categories was the biggest selling point for me. The site I'm using EM on has currently 4 different categories running. (www.hopsjo.no).

The site is driven by the users, and it had to be simple to use. And it is.

Auto resizeing is defently on my wishlist, since it created some problems.
I only write reviews for solution that provide either really good service or really bad service. This one is defiantly the former. Had a bit of a glitch with image transitions. Alex responded quickly and fix the problem by updating a JS library himself.

That's a new one for me! :->>
