K2
This looks like it could be a really excellent extension -- but it's hard to say, since it doesn't have a single doc or instruction or hint or clue or ANYTHING to tell you how to use it. I've posted a couple of things at their forum, and got no replies. So, it's just useless. If they ever get around to explaining how to use the thing, it'll probably be great -- till then, who can figure out how to use it, except the programmers who made it? All I can see is a lot of folks who WANT to use it, but keep crying out for docs, to no avail whatever.

I guess you're right. K2 is bad because it has yet no documentation and it's really hard to figure out...

So I guess the people who built these amazing websites http://k2community.joomlaworks.gr/profiles/blogs/k2-powered-joomla-websites are magicians. One of these websites was recently voted as one of the best in "culture" in the UK by the Telegraph newspaper. Now, how did that happen?

You obviously do not understand the concept of open source. And if you don't give K2 a try on your own, you really won't understand it either. We know people hate manuals and that is why we've built K2 to be as familiar as possible to Joomla!'s core articles.

Vinaora Visitors Counter
I tried to customize the way the date/time appears in this, but the usual php identifiers just don't seem to apply at all. Also, when you go to their site, as I did to try and find out what sort of weird php they may be using, the whole thing is in vietnamese with no English translation. So I'm off to find something else, which I can at least READ what they have to say about it at the creators' website.

Vinaora Visitors Counter use only JOOMLA's date/time format. I don't use any others.

You can see >> http://api.joomla.org/Joomla-Framework/Utilities/JDate.html and http://www.php.net/strftime

My site is Vietnamese language but you can go to
http://vinaora.com/joomla/vinaora-visitors-counter.html
and http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=393501&start=30

Or you can use http://translate.google.com/

I'll try to support more English as soon as possible.

Tks for your comment.
