FREE version is also available with limited features.
Overall I have to say that I decided for it because I didn't find any other extension with the same features. I give it 3 and a half stars in features because even though it is good there still many things that I would implement on it if it was my own software. Also, unfortunately there is no compensation by the developer to those who contribute with ideas, so I keep them to myself lol.
The extension is easy to use and install so even a joomla novice can do it, however expect little flexibility is customisation. WYSIWYG!
Documentation for my version is very poor or non existent. You really need to get messages back and forth to/from the developer if you have any advanced questions you would like answered. I had no issues with this type of support and always got a response to the ones I made.
I would give it 4 stars if there was a more attractive pricing model. You make a one off payment and if there are upgrades or bug fixes, you have to pay for each and everyone of them!!..
The developer also offers a club membership by which you can get upgrades for a period of three months. My experience with this software is that this club membership is a)very expensive b)it's unlikely you get your money's worth as there aren't enough releases for your chosen software to make up for your investment within the three month period!. You may as well wait for the latest release and pay AGAIN for it!.
Overall not bad but unfortunate to those (like me) who like to have always the latest releases installed! If you are happy to buy it and live with the original version forever, then the 4 and half stars apply here.
Ecards Odude has left me very impressed. It's really good and functional. Easy to configure and install. Support has been wonderful, very quick and concise, respectful and friendly. I give my vote 100%.
As I got further into the package I realized that I had to download and install the profile package as well.
I struggled to find adequate documentation for it so had to resort to spending hours trying different things out and reloading individual ecards. I managed but it was hard work.
I did get stuck and emailed support about a couple of points and that was 5 days ago. Still waiting for a reply.
Overall I am disappointed with the documentation (or lack thereof) as well as the response time for support. Unless you are pretty handy or experienced with PHP or joomla I would suggest looking somewhere else.
If user able to upload their own image to send card, it would be the best product in greetings card world.
Keep it up guys
