The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This extension put a stop a relentless string of hacker attacks on our site. Support was great as well. Thanks a million for a great product that delivers what it promises!

This is THE BEST PHOTO GALLERY COMPONENT available! It's exactly what I think PhocaGallery WANTS to be. Just goes to show ya, you get what you pay for. It's tough to make a FREE extension be great so that said, when it comes to photo galleries, this is one the best and so worth the money - and I've used pretty much all of them.

I don't understand how anyone could find this component less than fantastic. I've tried all the real estate components available (accept the really, really expensive one) and this one totally rocks for the cost. I disagree with other reviewers who said that it's difficult to modify or customize to your needs. I found this to be very easy to customize. The support is pretty on the ball. The front end user experience is very polished. I'm really jazzed about this component. It's been SO LONG since I paid for an extension and didn't regret purchasing it. Thanks EstateAgent Improved for breaking my drought of Joomla extension remorse!

I was looking for a quick file uploader extension that would facilitate multiple uploads of larger size image files. This one looked like it would do the trick nicely and it was listed as non-commercial so I thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately, I was not successful in being able to download and try the extension. You do have to register first, which is fine with me, but then when you activate your account and log back in, you're directed to page with a PayPal button that says "small donation first." It seems to me that this should disqualify the extension as non-commercial.

I absolutely think it's completely fine to charge for an extension if the developer chooses to do so. However, I don't think it's very nice to promote something as non-commercial then require a donation (not really a donation then, is it?) before allowing it to be downloaded.

I am actually one of those Joomla devotees who really does donate for great extensions. So, it really bothers me personally that donations are being required before allowing the user to test it and see if it's "donation-worthy." After all, it may not work properly. I've certainly come across my fair share of extensions that do not work well.

I really hope that the developer will consider removing this requirement, in the true spirit of donations and the open source community, OR set a price for it and call it commercial.

This extension absolutely rocks! I was looking for something to use my website for my clients to send me larger files without having to use FTP. I tried pretty much every extension in the Joomla File Management repository before happening upon this one. It's easy to install, configure and works like a champion for uploading any size files.

Honestly, I can't believe the audacity of the reviewer who snarked about his inability to remove the brand from this component. First, that is sad because it's not that hard to remove if indeed you want to misrepresent the work as your own. Secondly, this component is awesome, it's FREE and anyone who knows anything about programming knows that a TON of time went into developing this extension and it's absolutely wonderful that this developer saw fit to release it as open source. There is no gallery component out there that even comes close to offering the functionality that this one does.

I have been using this extension for about a month and have been very happy with it. It's clean, simple and easy to use yet has many additional features not available in the core contact component. I am using it to gather specific information for booking group events and it does everything I need it to do. The support is fantastic as well. Response time was immediate. Thanks Douglas!
