Thanks Dave :) You are not the first to review, we had over 50 positive reviews here. Joomla accused us of false reviews, which was not true and we contested - but we had no say in the matter :( So they removed all the reviews, for all our extensions.
So what you are seeing here is the effect of bad policy, good extensions go the bottom of the pile.
Anyways, glad you like the plugin, yes - we will update it for 2.5, when we get around to it, hopefully sooner then later ;)
Make sure you read the instructions carefully about its position in the content plugins and you really can't go wrong!
Cheers,
Dave.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Thank you very much Dave!
I checked my files - found on a site that one file wasn't the 'official' version and updated it.
It would be fantastic if it could also update any files that weren't official versions, but it's still great!
Thanks,
Dave.
Dave,
Thanks for the feedback. I use the "Update Manager for Joomla!" (available on the JED) to update my files directly. I would love to add the ability to show the difference in files as well as allow auto updating going forward. We also set up the component to allow comparing files for any Joomla! extensions, which I think will be very useful. We just haven't had time to improve on it...but we will try to as soon as possible.
Thanks again for the feedback!
Thanks Sam, for making our lives simpler :)
I'm probably not using it anywhere near to capacity, but am restricting a particular J! usergroup to only be able to add content to a certain section/category, as well as allowing the site admin to do all the usual article administration from the front-end!
No more concerns about back-end access... this does the job perfectly.
Thanks again Ninjas!
It also has the same functionality as jSecure built-in.
Do read the instructions CAREFULLY, as if you just install and publish you'll most probably lock yourself out of your site for 3 hours (!).
It's worth the financial and small time investment getting it working properly though.
Dave.
I donated - so should you!
Ahmad's done a great job here with 'Calendar Stamp', it looks great, validates and is easy to implement. He even did a turquoise version just for my site... thanks :-)
You're welcomed :)
Two little extras would be nice:
1) different options for how required fields are displayed, the red stars aren't massive eye-candy and it doesn't say on the form what these mean
2) a plugin so a form could be displayed anywhere in an article.
Thanks Phil!
Dave.
Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to leave a review - I have some GOOD NEWS for you! in reply to your points. 1) I agree, I hate the validation error messages - and I cant decide how it should be - so for the next version I have made it 100% configurable, that right, you will soon be able to display the validation error message any way you like! 2) We have blogged about this, its the #1 requested feature at the moment, 80% of the code has been written to allow forms in content and this is the main new feature for the next release (Feb 2009)
Thanks very much! :)
