Mysql connection test
Yes, I understand this is 'beta', but still!
At list some nominal testing must be done by a responsible developer before offering it public.

Dear author, this little doodle has no chance of working until you properly set "name" in line 54.
Owner's reply

line 54 ... ah that's where it was. New there was a typo somewhere thanks.

Fixed the typo and added some extra code to help the newbies with their tmp and log paths in the configuration.php file.

If it was designed to be left on the sever then yes some serious and vigerous testing would be needed first.

But as the description clearly states "* IMPORTANT remove from the server after use !!! *" then it is not irresponsible to offer the beta version to the public.

This is a very nice module for what it's designed for - random quote rotation. It is fast, for there are no database queries - quotes are stored in a text file and used one line at a time. There is an option to set left or right text alignment. Quotes can be HTML formatted and, with that in mind, this module can be easily adapted for many other purposes.

JComments
It is not often that a Joomla! component comes along and is so close to perfection that it captures your affection as decisively as this one.

It does what it promises to do, bugs-free, fast, comprehensible. It leaves little else to desire. Well, IP-blocking is on my list, but it's in the works.

Kind as it is to users,it's greater attraction may be to administrators and developers: it will import comments from just about anything and it will use any avatar under the sun. The list of supported components is a mile long. Excellent team-player of a component!

I'll think of getting "I heart JComments" bumper sticker for my car.
