RokNavMenu
I have used many of the menu extensions listed on the JED and have to say that RokNavMenu (RNM) is one of the best to date!

To address some of the concerns others have made:
1) RNM is now non-commercial
2) excellent, free documentation on their site
3) extended parameters available for the supplied "Fusion" menu

Not sure what other "bugs" others have found, but it works flawlessly on, dare I say, a template created with Artisteer! :)

Cheers!

AJ Article listing
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Simple and elegant. Thank you SO much! :)

Just 2 items for the "wish list" for a future version:
- a third drop down with the Article Titles, populated from the selected Section and Category
- vertical or horizontal format selection in the parameters

Again, thanks so much for this very useful extension :)

Minicalendar
I must first start out by mentioning that the a couple of the reviewers should have read the "Dos" and "Don't" more thoroughly. That way, they would have done what I did ... contacted the developer FIRST before posting here about an issue.

Over the last day and a half, Chris and I have gone back and forth to come up with a now properly functioning and validating AWESOME calendar module! :)

The new 1.04 version that addresses both of the issues noted in the reviews is now available via the link provided here.

Again, many thanks to the developer, Chris. The "Joomlasphere" would be so much better if more were as prompt and conscientious as he :)

Cheers!

What can I say ... simply amazing! This is a true life-saver and once in stable release, will be a "must-install" on every Joomla! site that I do. Works with K2 Items as well! Now THAT a few of my clients could have used :)

Very well done!

Cheers!

Linkr
A fantastic tool to have on each and every Joomla! site! Linkr and JoomlaFCK Editor make a "killer" combination! Highly recommended!

Cheers!

JCK Editor
As the title states, the JoomlaFCK Editor is now installed and set to the default editor on all the Joomla! sites that I put up for my clients and for myself. Not only is it very "light weight" (that is, it's FAST!) but it does what no other editor does "out of the box":

FITS WITHIN THE CONTENT AREA during a FRONT-END EDIT! :)

No more completely or partially hidden "Save" and "Cancel" buttons! The toolbar reflows to fit the available space. This alone merits the use of the JoomlaFCK Editor over any other. My only issue with it is it's "Link" tool; not quite as intuitive as another "popular editor", but is easily remedied by installing the Linkr extension.

An awesome addition to the Joomla! "toolbox"! :)

Cheers!

AdminPraise Lite
Exactly as advertised and then some! So much easier and faster to get around in the "back-end". This great template is now the very first item installed in all of the Joomla! sites I put together!

Way to go Kyle and "krew" at JoomlaPraise!

Cheers!

EasyImageCaption
As the title states, I second the motion that this EXCELLENT plugin be included in J 1.6! Beautiful! Simple! Easy! The available styling is just fine for me. What more can I say :)

Cheers!

ReReplacer
I as well cannot say enough about this extension! And the way the update is notified and setup is something that ALL extension developers should emulate! A nice little icon shows up on the Admin menu bar; click it, and off you go to the download page and a nice one-file update installer for both the component and plugin! So easy! So smart! :)
Owner's reply

Thanks for the praise.
However, I removed the update-notification-toolbar-icon in the latest version. I got some complaints that it slowed the administrator down. On every page load, the update-notification tries to compare the current version with a file on my website.
There is still an update-notification in the ReReplacer component and plugin. But not in the tool-bar anymore.
I might create a separate update plugin that you can install, that will check for any new updates from NoNumber! (that are relevant)... If that sounds interesting, please let me know.

Stalker
So easy to set up! And looks great! Just one small "wish list" item (so that I don't have to do it myself! lol! ) : user able to enter their own additional sites from the module [edit]

Great job!!!
Owner's reply

There's not much you can do with modules in this respect, but I'm actually looking at converting this over to a Component so that networks can be maintained easier.

BonckoLen Image Gallery
A fast and easy way to add a fantastic gallery/slideshow to your content, especially when you get and enable the CoolIris plugin for your browser!

For those having trouble getting it to work, the key is that you need a forward slash / before and after the directory name. For example, with the default setting for the initial directory, images/stories, if you want to display the contents of the "fruit" folder, then you need to enter {boncko}/fruit/{/boncko}. To use the "food" folder as well, then {boncko}/fruit/|/food/{/boncko). I initially had trouble seeing the slashes, but when they are added where they belong, it works great! Love it! Good job!

Wish List for next release:

Individual captions/descriptions for each image

eXtplorer
I have been agonizing with the lack of performance with the Hosting Control Center provided with an account at Go Daddy ... like molasses in January! :) And this is on a high-speed connection.

This awesome component is the salvation! Should be a Joomla! Core component in the next release! :) Cannot recommend it highly enough! :) Great work!

Ajax Math Captcha
And the best thing is that there are no 'hacks' or overwriting of core Joomla! files as many others require. I pulled my hair out (not too much to work with in the first place! :) ) trying to get the 'other' popular one to work and finally just wiped out the install and started over.

The key to getting this one to work is to follow the instructions on the site / forum. For full functionality, you have to install the SecureForm plugin, Auser, AContact and ALogin. Set them all up as per the instructions and you will have CAPTCHA-enabled User Login, Lost Password, Lost Username, Registration AND Contact emails!!! Fantastic!

googleSearch component
And such a snap to install and configure! Be sure to get the Module as well; a fantastic combination. The power of Google right on your page! Now I can easily add my AdSense account without having to filter out competing ads using AdSense modules on certain sites.

Kudos to the developer(s) for a great product that works perfectly out of the box. Great site too for installation and documentation.

Include Content Item
Exactly what I had in mind. Will add so much flexibility to my sites. Thank you very much for an awesome extension :)

SignalLogin
Installs and works great! This will help quite a bit for me to be able to remind my registering users to activate their account.

Great work!

J!Credits
Excellent! This should be a 'mandatory' install or hard-coded into Joomla! :) Just my opinion, but I believe it is only the proper thing to do to provide recognition to all those who made our sites possible. I inform my clients in advance that this information will be included in their site and to date, no objections.
A snap to install (remember to turn on Legacy Mode for 1.5.x), configure and produces a fantastic page; exactly what I needed to replace a whole lot on manual work on my 'Credits' page. Can't wait for the 1.5 native!

Vinaora Visitors Counter
Exactly what I was looking for; a simple counter along with history (Yesterday, Week, Month, All)

As for the images, that's easy! Just create blank ones and save them as the original file names :)

As for the link/ad at the bottom (1.0.5 version), that's easy too! Just edit mod_vvisit_counter.php in the Modules folder :)

RokSlideshow
I have to say, that even with my limited Joomla! experience, I have found that very few, if any, other providers, can create QUALITY Joomla! enhancements that can meet or beat the folks at Rocketwerkz! Props to all involved! This, along with their other fine, free products, didn't just meet, but exceeded my expectations. Hands down the best of the lot! If I could give this module 10 stars, I would. Out of the box, EXACTLY what I was looking for and just a pure delight to install and set up to my criteria. Same goes for the other items from this fine Joomla! foundry.

In addition, as to the comments from the Team to the post regarding captions, etc... if this person would have looked over the very fine documentation, they would have immediately realized that what they wanted to do is a snap with this module! Wh heck, even I figured that out right away :)

10+ stars for Rocketwerx and Rocket Themes!

Cheers!

Tabs & Sliders (for articles)
I was looking for an easy-to-implement 'tab' system; tried another but couldn't get past first base. Figured that I would try 'Tabs & Slides' and it is EXACTLY what I needed! And the Slides were a bonus! Now I can nest Slides inside of Tabs or vise versa or any combination of the two. Makes for tremendous flexibility of any content. A snap to install and to use! Too cool! Too easy! And works just fine in IE 6! :) Highly recommended!
