The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This extension is a very good one indeed. It does exactly what you want it to. There is only one short fall on the developers behalf.

When pruchasing this extension they don't tell you clearly that you need to buy the plugin as well if you wish to use it in a Virtuemart based site. They show a long list of extension that they sale and the module is rihgt near the top of the list. This entry of the extension on the JED is for a module, there is no mention of a plugin anywhere on the JED or on this listing for this module for it's use in Virtuemart.

My only suggestion is that if you plan to use this extension for Virtuemart be prepared to buy both the module and the plugin. They are sold separately. They are not very expensive, that's not the issue by any means it's that it is not conveyed very clearly that you need to buy the plugin and the module to use it in Virtuemart.

I have suggested to the developer to mention it on the JED and maybe even offer a bundle package just for this extension for anyone buying it for use in their Virtuemart site. I hope they take the time to put these steps in to action. The extension works right out of the box with little to no effort. Had it not of cost me over six hours worth of hunting for an answer I would have given it a 5 star rating.

This is one of the best extensions on the JED. I just realized today that it's been two years since it's been updated and that's just because this extension is perfect and doesn't need any patching or corrections.

I will admit for anyone who doesn't know how to read or write css real well, you better take your time with it, read a couple books to freshen up or hire someone. I've been working with this module for something like 2 1/2 years and love it when I need a Navigation module that I can override quick and easy. I only use this and one other that I bought because it was that good and I still can't make it do half of what I can with this one.

5 Stars all the way. This is always one of the first extensions I install right after my admin layout template. Plus it's fun to work with the code for this extension to see just what kind of crazy things you can make it do.

This is by far one of the greatest form builders I've seen and used from the JDE for Joomla!. I'm a very experienced Joomla! user/developer and can find my way around just about any extension that is out there, but for some reason the form builder extensions seem to be some of the hardest to grasp. I can't make heads or tails of a few of them and don't believe that you should have to pay for one that you don't know how it works in the admin panel. Some of them just out right suck. I've used 5 different ones in all and they all try to be the same and do the same but fail miserably at it.

I won't lie this one is a little tricky at first and I didn't go looking for documentation on it because it seemed pretty intuitive. Trust me it is a bit more challenging then you may think. I'm sure the documentation makes it easier to work with but the power of this extension is worth the headaches and pressures of learning it on the fly. Great job guys.

Okay first things first, this is the best damn service and product by far of any extension in the JDE.

All I have to say is buy this extension right now if you are planning to use PayPal Website Payments Pro for your Virtuemart based shopping cart. I have nothing against VM but they truly are ignorant if they think that everyone who uses their product is able to develop what they didn't and should have put into their product in the first place.

I had actually given up and started looking around for a different cart that could offer what I needed. All I needed was PayPal Pro to work and then I stumbled across this little gem. I had it installed in all of about 5 minutes and then received an error. I contacted their support department and left a message. (Note: In most instances when you call you get a real person. I just happened to call at the moment that all hell was braking loose over there). I tried working on it and within about 15 to 20 minutes of when I had left the message Eric called me. The only reason that he didn't pick up was because he was in the middle of resetting one of his servers or something to that effect and then his phone jumped to voice mail before he could get to it. I think we must have talked for well over an hour just getting to know each other. Eric is one the coolest and most down to earth people. He went out of his way to ensure to me that the delay in response was not normal and that if I needed any help to just contact them and I would get it right away. This is not just because they missed my call, they’re American, they speak English, they have a chat system built right into their site that let’s you know if they are available, they have a phone number that can be found on your order receipt and they also have email. They also guarantee their tech support it is awesome.

Do yourself a favor; don’t struggle with VM and PayPal like I did trying to make it work because they don't without this extension. Yes Soren could have built a better product, and by picking apart his code it looks as if he tried to copy this one and failed, but luckily we have the guys and girl (Thank you Britani for all of your help as well.) at MyJoomlaExtensions.com on our side. And look at it like this…you aren’t really buying the extension you’re buying the help and tech support that you can’t find in VM’s forums because the answers don’t exist there. Buy it now and move on to your next project. This was the best investment that I've made from off of the JED ever.

Thanks again guys, you rock.

This is an absolute must for any website that I build from now on. I just finally couldn't take it any more with making browser hacks for IE6 all of the time. It has gotten to the point where if you use floats and padding nothing can line up correctly. So I started searching and found this little gem of a plugin. I installed it, activated it and then changed the text in the ini file to fit my likings and update the browser versions. This thing is great right out of the box.

Thank you so much for this contribution. It is a true life safer. 5/5 all the way. Great Job.

This is the single most important extension that I keep in my arsenal for site designs when using Joomla!

My clients love it. It increases my work flow by a minimum of 40% I would say. I never build a single site that doesn't use this product.

The only thing that sucks for me is that it using the background color from your template style sheets instead of having it's own. This is anything major; however, if you're working with a site that has a dark background color it becomes really hard to see sometimes. So I always end up recoding the CSS for Linkr to work the way that I want it to with a lighter background color. Other then that I would call this my silver bullet extension.

Thanks for this great extension.

I have been looking for a slideshow just like this one exactly. I wanted a simple system for placing photos in a gallery. I wanted it to be able to call a whole folder for better organization. And I wanted it to be quick loading. I knew that this could be done outside of Joomla but just hadn't found it yet in Joomla. This Plugin is a godsend I just absolutely love it. I took a look at the documentation for a minute just to brief myself on how to run it and noticed that the docs are so thorough that you couldn't possibly screw it up.

I can't say it enough. I just love this product and so will my client.

I bought this product after trying to use several others that just don't work like the developers say they do or they require you to use Legacy Mode which I have a major problem with.

When I first got the product I had a problem with component in the backend but that was do to me not having the right settings for the database and php. Make certain that you have php5 and up, it will save you a lot of headache.

I have used this component on two sites so far and I just absolutely love it. My clients can't get over how easy it is to use (one for herself and the other for end users).

The setup is quick and easy. I especially love the extra fields and options. It allows you to customize each type of ad that you want to list with so much precision that there is no way for an end user to not understand the system.

The documentation could use a little help here and there. It tends to be just enough to get you there and then you need to figure out the rest. However, after just a short amount of time with it you become so comfortable with the flow that the docs don't really matter.

I had a few major problems arise (for me) though. And it might just be in part to do with the industry that I am using this in. Every time that I had a question it was answered. I had a problem with the support section of the site and the owner gave me his direct email and personal number to communicate directly with him.

On the second site that I used this for I ran into some of my biggest problems. After multiple phone calls and emails Hasan gave me his I.M. User Name and we were still experiencing problems so he then helped me via Remote Assistance. If this isn't good costumer service I don't know what is.

As a note I didn't use this product straight out of the box a single time. I had specific things that I wanted and needed it to do and I tweaked it until I was happy with it. I mentioned to Hasan that I would like to see some specific things that are needed for another site that I have to design that I plan to use this component for and he has offered to help me with the development of it.

If there was a scale of 1 to 10 to score satisfaction by. I would give this product a 20 it's that good in my my opinion.
