AdminExile
★★★★★
Another excellent extension
byDavidBoggitt, May 19, 2013
AdminExile
This extension is typical of Michael Richey's work: it works perfectly, you find yourself installing it on every website and it's FREE! Michael also strives to continually improve his extensions and is hugely responsive to feature requests and constructive advice. Thanks for another great extension :)
Admin branding
★★★★★
Simple and effective!
byDavidBoggitt, May 14, 2013
Admin branding
It's amazing how much clients like to have a bit of branding on their websites and this does the job very nicely indeed :)

I'm also highly impressed with the support - there were a couple of warnings (nothing broken) I found when updating to a more recent version of PHP and was debugging a site. They fixed them immediately and sent me an updated version - great service!!
Admin Menu Manager (pro)
★★★★★
Bespoke admin menu? Step right up folks...
byDavidBoggitt, April 15, 2013
Admin Menu Manager (pro)
I used to be a bit of a miserable old git, never really liking the J! admin menu.

But now, I've got an all-singing, all-dancing bespoke admin menu, all in a sensible order, nothing scrolling off the page and synchronised perfectly with Access Manager, another extension I can't do without now.

It's worth mentioning Carsten's support too: always quick, polite and very personal, even helping me with some CSS tweaks I asked about. Money well spent!
Access manager (pro)
★★★★★
ACL - made brilliantly easy!!
byDavidBoggitt, April 11, 2013
Access manager (pro)
We all know there are certain extensions that you simply can't do without and are a standard install on every site build. There are several of NoNumber's extensions (e.g. Advanced Module Manager) that I bet are on most people's list (and if not, why not?!) and I think Access Manager should be on there too. I've got some sympathy for the first reviewer as until you really need this extension, you don't understand why you need this extension! Read Carsten's explanation, however, as it details why this is such an important extension sitting on top of the native ACL. I use this in combination with the superb ACL Manager and also Carsten's Admin Menu Manager (Pro) to have fine control over my backend admin menu too (not just what is visible but totally rearranging the menu how you want it - invaluable). It's worth buying the Pro versions in my opinion - you get updates forever and you can use the extensions on as many sites as you wish.

No - I'm not related to Carsten (!) but I'm a huge, huge fan of his work - it makes life for site builders SO much easier!

Videobox
★★★★★
Just works!
byDavidBoggitt, December 21, 2012
Videobox
I'm gradually building a J3.0 test site to get some experience in the new version and wanted a video player, but specifically one that played from a URL not just videos on the site. This too a short time to install and download and once I'd copied the syntax carefully, worked perfectly.

I hope the author updates this to be responsive - it'll be my player of choice for some time.

Thanks!
Web Fonts
★★★★★
Free, fantastic (or should that be font-tastic)
byDavidBoggitt, December 11, 2012
Web Fonts
In about 5 minutes, I'd installed the component/plugin, chosen the font and selector (yes, you have to know a bit of CSS and Firefox/Firebug are a great help) and had a very happy client.

This is a classy piece of code and thanks for releasing it to the community for free.

jGalleria Gallery Pro
★★
Also disappointed...
byDavidBoggitt, August 21, 2012
jGalleria Gallery Pro
I bought the Pro version too, got the file quickly as an attachment, but the images were also stacked on top of each other (I didn't try to generate thumbnails).

I've also sent a message to the author, but 48 hours later there's no reply. If you read my reviews on here, they are always positive (in fact, I think this is the first negative one).

If the author gets in touch that would be great, but I'm still going to ask for my money back as I'm under a bit of pressure from a client and had to purchase another product... I can't hang around for days hoping someone will reply!
Fun Supersized
★★★★
Great!
byDavidBoggitt, August 7, 2012
Fun Supersized
Does the job very nicely thanks, just ignore the totally unreasonably review by nordnord. There are issues and the developer isn't too helpful to be honest, but they are not caused by his extension, more the templates div CSS background and jQuery issues. All in all, took about 10 minutes (including uploading images) from start to finish.

P.S. Was a bit of a fiddle getting the path right, but images/background/ worked - I'm sure you can work out what folder I created...
EU e-Privacy Directive
★★★★★
Quality I've some to expect
byDavidBoggitt, July 2, 2012
EU e-Privacy Directive
You can rely on Richeyweb extensions. You can rely on the fact that they work, the fact they they are under continual development, the fact that Michael is always willing to help and the fact that he won't rest until they're as good as they can be. If that wasn't enough for you, check out the pricetag...

Thanks always,

Dave.
Advanced Module Manager
★★★★★
Can't live without it
byDavidBoggitt, May 29, 2012
Advanced Module Manager
I just can't live without it - it's so often made doing what would otherwise be an impossible task as simple as clicking a few times.

Support Peter and his extensions - the project needs developers like him.
Terms of Service
★★★★★
Just what the client wanted
byDavidBoggitt, March 5, 2012
Terms of Service
It was one of those nice occasions when a client asked for a terms of service to be clicked on before a user had access after registering. About 10 minutes later, this was done :)

Have a look at the Richeyweb extensions - there's some really useful and free stuff available.

Many thanks,

Dave.

Much of what I release here in the JED was written for my clients.

Fortunately, they don't always want to purchase exclusive rights to the extensions I write. I make less money, but it presents an opportunity to give back to the Joomla community.

I'm glad this works for you and your client!

Access manager
★★★★★
A quality product from a quality developer

Access manager
After relying so much on two of this other extensions Frontend-user-access and Admin-user-access on a 1.5 site, I was delighted to see this released. You may not appreciate you need this with the ACL in J!2.5, but as Carsten states, in core Joomla you can NOT assign an article to more then 1 access level. With Access Manager, you can!
Display Plugin Code
★★★★★
Does the job perfectly
byDavidBoggitt, November 6, 2011
Display Plugin Code
Many thanks to Carsten for updating this to 1.7

Make sure you read the instructions carefully about its position in the content plugins and you really can't go wrong!

Cheers,

Dave.
Real Preview for Joomla
★★★★★
Takes Joomla up another notch
byDavidBoggitt, October 29, 2011
Real Preview for Joomla
I'm delighted to have found this extension and it's well worth the money. You can create draft versions, preview them then either publish them or fall back on previous drafts.

I had a small support request about drafts not being deleted when the original article was deleted and received personal communication about it with the promise of a plugin to provide this functionality.

I understand they are working on some more extensions, so I shall certainly keep a close eye on them. Well done!
ACL Manager
★★★★★
Superb!
byDavidBoggitt, October 26, 2011
ACL Manager
I can't live without it. Enough said! Thanks for a brilliant piece of coding.
Qlue Custom 404
Great component - great support
byDavidBoggitt, April 26, 2011
Qlue Custom 404
It wasn't smooth sailing to get this working, but faultless, quick support helped enormously. It does prefer SEF mode and if you have modules showing on your custom 404 page you don't want, follow these instructions.

1) Create a hidden menu (Google it!)
2) Create a link to the Qlue 404 component in this hidden menu.
3) Within the basic parameters of this link, choose your custom 404 page.
4) Set your modules not to show on this menu link and make sure that on Module Assignment, you have "Include no Itemid" set to "Yes".

Bingo. Thanks guys!
Contact Enhanced Component
Seriously good
byDavidBoggitt, April 8, 2011
Contact Enhanced Component
Look no further, you've almost certainly found your replacement for com_contact! It works superbly, gives enormous flexibility and is very reasonably priced too. Then add the top-notch support in there and you're onto a winner. I suggested a small improvement and the reply was "sure, I'll include it in the next release". This ones a keeper! :)
ByeByeGenerator
Perfect
byDavidBoggitt, April 2, 2011
ByeByeGenerator
Simple - install, publish and go. I've no idea what the user 'Dens' is talking about - I don't think they understood what this plugin was meant to do! Thanks for a simple but very effective plugin.
ScriptsDown
Does the trick - and the double-page bug is definitely fixed
byDavidBoggitt, April 2, 2011
ScriptsDown
Hi,

I usually read all the reviews of an extension and when the first written one (i.e. the bottom one in this list) is 5 stars from the brilliant Carsten Engel, author of Frontend-User-Access and Admin-User-Access, I knew ScriptsDown had to be good. The double-page bug is fixed and the extension works perfectly. Yes, there could be better documentation and an indication that the ScriptsDown plugin should be run last. Also, if the author could create a list of scripts that need to be omitted (e.g. I use AVReloaded and so swfobject.js had to be omitted) that would help a lot. Don't expect it to just work perfectly first time... it depends on the extensions you've got installed and the scripts you have to omit. Persevere though and the speed increase is definitely worth it!
Owner's reply

I couldn't have said it better myself... I've tried...

There are so many possibilities and combination of extensions out there, it's impossible for me to test them all. This extension definitely requires testing and experimentation. Some extensions require the scripts to be at the top in order to load libraries to support inline scripts, some (the good ones) don't.

The boost in pagespeed and yslow is definitely worth the effort.

EasyBlog
Great component - great company
byDavidBoggitt, March 14, 2011
EasyBlog
Hi,

Echoing all the other great reviews, this component is fantastic and the support is just amazing. There are some J! companies that I've dealt with that offer superb support, always good-natured, patient and quick... NinjaForge, NoNumber, Akeeba for example... so now add StackIdeas to that group.

Thanks again for a great product.

Dave.
