The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I've been using Kide for a few months and suddenly the mod wasn't working anymore. At first I thought it was due to an upgrade to J2.5.9, but no, rather java trouble on my page. JoniJnm readily helped me anyhow, upgraded his files and was around until I had installed everything and it started working again. Big kudos!

I just needed a way to keep tabs on all small things to do in every new page of my new (and huge) joomla site. I didn't want another receptacle as we use Hoduma for the big stuff and I will use Fabrik to make todo's and such. But for the on-the-run-stuff I hadn't found a solution. Until now!

Good idea, but the backend UI needs some addition, like:
Why must I memorize the ID of my question to enter it in the module after having entered data in the component? Why not a dropdown window?

Why does the pic in the homepage look like it's halfway to alpha test, when the pic in JED leads us to believe that it will look pretty nifty? The description says you "can" change the CSS, but it rather looks like you "have" to do it.

Voting did't work either. The list I wrote is visible, but there is no explanation on how to vote in frontend, and klicking the numbers will get you nothing.

If you need something quick, pass this one up, if you're not a CSS wizard probably.

It would seem that this ext would suit our needs - several clubs with different persons in it, but the developer has put in a lot of possibilities without making sure they really work together.

1) I get an error when installing about a missing argument.
2) It would seem that this ext is only usable for one club, but I don't understand the three groups Persons, Members and Board. I would assume that a member is a person and may be on the board - not that these three types are different.
3) I can't find any way to establish teams, working groups or any such thing.
4) Trying to add people, after getting an error for missing something, there is no way to save the 2nd try. You need to go back and fill everything out correctly from the start.
5) Adding a date, the calendar just pick the value for the month and leaves the date string as 'j-11-t' which gives an error etc (see #4).
6) Membership items need start and end dates. That means that I can't add anybody who's got a 'lifetime' chore without inventing an end date.

I would like to be able to use this to manage several clubs, or at least teams/work groups within a club. I would like to be able to save things in an orderly fashion. I would like to be able to decide what fields to show in the backend, not a plethora of overlapping info or things like a 'deceased' field that makes my stomach jump every time I see it.

All in all, a good try, but it should not have left the developer's workbench just yet.

Beware. This extension comes with a cost. It's not really non-commercial. It's "commercial" because there is a very ugly multicolored ad begging you to buy the pro version for $18 after every use of the code in an article. It looks bad and juvenile and in this case it clashes horribly with the rest of my page, so much so that it's unusable, even though the ext itself is quite nice and would get a rate of 4 if it weren't for the aggravating try to sell a "free" product.

I feel very un-inclined to pay the 18 bucks to be able to get rid of the line, as I was taunted into believing the extension was non-commercial. Really bad practice by this fickle developer, IMO.

5 stars for looks and usage, but it would seem it crashed my whole site, so if you try it, be sure to do a backup first. (It could be a conflict with other, older extensions, not necessarily this addon - who knows?)

It looks really nice and was very easy to install. Not entirely bug-less (can't handle hyphens), but very neat and hopefully upgraded soon.

It's a pity all info about it is in Ukrainian, so it wasn't easy to find a link to the author. (I haven't had an answer yet, so I don't know about level of service.)

I wanted a "miniblog" in a sidebar, and this ext does this excellently. Thanks a bundle!
