Securitycheck

Very nice component, but..

Securitycheck
We have been using this component for a little while now and find it pretty useful. The only thing however that is missing is module and plugin security checking. If this was included this would be one of the best non-commercial security audit tools for Joomla that I have found to date. If this component could do that, I think it would get a lot more attention than it already has too and people will probably donate more as well. It is nice to see more non-commercial security audit tools out there and that you take security seriously. We thank you for your hard work put into this component and future developments. Nice work!

PROS: Very simple to install and check site security status of installed components, there are regular updates, support is great and the developer takes security seriously.

CONS: The only con is this component doesn't scan plugins and modules.

All in all this is a great component and I would especially recommend this to novice webmasters as well as advanced Joomla webmasters. It is simple, effective and to the point.

Phoca Gallery

Fantastic, but one minor problem..

Phoca Gallery
PROS: The image gallery works fantastic and is really nice and easy to set up and use.

CONS: Image descriptions don't show up fully below images and when images are clicked on, you still can't see the full description because there is no image descriptions when the picture is brought into full view.

All in all this extension is fantastic, but only lacks one feature - description controls and placement.
Owner's reply

Hi, displaying of description depends on used detail window method (standard popup, modal box, modal box image only, highslide js, highslide js image only, shadowbox, jak lightbox, slimbox, boxplus, boxplus image only, etc.)

By image methods - this can be customized in the specific javascript library
By iframe methods - it can be easily set in template of detail window:
components/com_phocagallery/views/detail/tmpl/default.php or can be overwritten with help of MVC in template. Or can be set in parameters (description can be displayed below image or over the image in opacity box)

See:

Fantastic Extension!

This is an absolutely fantastic extension and does exactly what they claim it will do. It is very clean, can be customized to color adapt to any website theme colors. With bot filtering too that helps even further to keep the spammers away. Great work and I look forward to future releases.

This component is useful for Joomla 1.5.x, but no longer in development for support for later versions of Joomla as stated on the author website.

PROS: Works very well and looks nice.
CONS: No longer will be maintained.

Gave rating of average because support for this component has stopped.

Works, but needs more attention.
byB0RG, October 24, 2011
Although this is a decent component, it does in fact lack administrator account protection against registration removal. The developer website is also unavailable and the component needs updating to include the administrator account protection feature.

Overall the component is useful, but could be dangerous if a user were to compromise the form on a website front-end.

Minor Issue

The component does exactly what it should, but I've noticed on Yougrids templates when this component is loaded on the front-end of websites using the Yougrids templates it causes the website width to decrease when the module loads after clicking a menu link. This is not a serious problem, but it does affect layout of websites using particular layouts so this might need to be corrected for future versions. All in all though, great job on the component. Keep up the good work.

Module Abandoned

As I always used this module with Joomla! in past, it is unfortunate to report that the developer has discontinued development of this module and there will be no further updates. I was reported this by e-mail. So, if you want to use this module, stick with Joomla! 1.5 or you'll have to find someone to redo the extension to make it compliant to the Joomla! 1.6.x version. I rated 4 stars because it is a nice extension, but minus a star because it is discontinued and not posted here it was discontinued.

Works with J! 1.6 (with some src edit)

Live Game Server List
PROS: This component and module is far from useless. There are updates on the author website to version 5.8 and with a read on their forum, you can make the latest version work on Joomla! 1.6.

CONS: Richard has been rather busy lately so he has not been able to catch up as quickly as usual with keeping things current on this site. So, it may be a slight inconvenience to visit his website forum.

All in all this component and module is fantastic for game server hosts and it is difficult to find anything that comes remotely close to these extensions. If more people could help on the project I believe it could surpass some of the game tracking hosts out there that exist at present who don't even track half of the games LGSL does track. Contact Richard or a moderator to offer assistance. Long Live LGSL! :D
