Frontend User Article List
I always find it amazing what people have created, and the way they just work out of the box. In my case, I needed something to allow users to maintain all their content, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Registered users cannot access the component, and it provides all the functionality needed for my users in a clear and easy to understand format.

I really can't think of any extra functionality my users could need, so 5 stars!

JUGA
Not only does it work brilliantly, the support is top-notch as well. After struggling for several days with noixACL, we installed this and it all just worked.

There are some minor issues, but I'm pretty certain they're specific to our server not the software. Due to the way Joomla works it doesn't restrict articles in the administration, but everything else we needed to restrict access to is now hidden. Highly recommended.

Phoca Maps
Works brilliantly, and the options that are available are more then enough for most sites.

The only reason it's not 5 stars is the lack of support, I have an outstanding issue (not too critical) that hasn't been answered for 2 weeks, and looking at the forum shows a large number of posts that are in the same boat.

Download this and try it. If it works (it does for 99% of people), you won't find many (if any!) better.

Hi, sorry, I don't understand. Did you visit some other forum than Phoca.cz forum ( http://www.phoca.cz/forum )?

The most active user on Joomla.org forum makes cca 8.48 posts/day.

On Phoca.cz forum I make cca 14.25 posts/day (outside this I am making support on Joomla.org forum and some national Joomla! forums ), so maybe "lack of support" was meant ironically :-)

Can you imagine, you will answer 15 (mostly very problematic) questions per day in your freetime :-) and if you are overloaded in your work and you have no time to answer posts e.g. for 5 days, you need to answer over 105 problematic questions at the weekend (and of course make development, actualize all the extensions, coordinate translating, answer emails, etc.) and then someone will write something about "lack of support"? I think not. :-)


BTW: "not too critical" - the cricital issues are the best for the developer, so he can move the project forward, so no idea why people think, critical issues are something bad and should be not answered. :-(

MP3 Browser
This worked straight out of the box, and with all the parameter options I could have customised it anyway I like. I highly recommend it for anybody looking for a list of mp3's on their site.
