Recommended if you have a back up plan for the cron plugin.
The plugins are confusing and there is no explanation that I can see as to the need to match a plug in versions against the core version.
Simulation didn't work. It insisted that the (valid) user ID entered wasn't valid. So there seems no way to test anything.
I'd pay for the "pro" version if I could get an absolute guarantee that it'd work. Alas, the "free" version isn't an encouraging introduction.
My head hurts. I'm going to stop now...
Hi Fred,
Infact there is a commercial support subscription available if you need it ! You can buy it at the website & our support team can easily set it up for you.
Have you read the detailed documentation here : http://techjoomla.com/table/jmailalerts.-cms-delivered-via-email/#documentation
We understand the extension can be confusing due to its great versatility & we have tried to make it as easy as possible to understand & use. If you read the docs throughly , you should not have any issues.
Regarding Plugins, its simple. The 1.X version of the component & plugins are depreciated. use the latest version in the 2.X series. Since we have over 20 plugins for the extension we are working out a better way to maintain them on the site to present them to uses in a better way.
Do reconsider your review & give it a shot again or contact us to let us help you set it up.
thanks
Unfortunately the last update (1.3) seems to be focused on let's see what we can break. My test site stopped working, presenting blank forms and error dialogs, especially on the frontend. I spend nearly eight hours working my way through things, and finished up having to remove a swag of modules and components, many not remotely related to CB.
Since I am now at the point of probably having to rebuild the site from scratch I'll be looking to alternatives for CB
Very disappointing.
Sorry to hear such a different story of all positive feedbacks we got on CB 1.3 this far, and understanding that finally it seems "not remotely related to CB" on your "test site" as you conclude. We are not be able to relate *any* single forum post or feedback from any user elsewhere to this experience with CB 1.3 (nor latest CB 1.3.1 which fixes all known bugs of CB 1.3, which were all minor).
Sorry that you decided to spend eight hours on your own, without community help, not browsing our FAQ (e.g our blank screen FAQ), forums, or request free support on our forums. Very frustrating for the very dedicated CB community to not have a chance to help another community member. Specially for a free extension with free community support. We would much prefer to be able to help you, but with literally no information on the errors you got and your environment, it's impossible. We invite you to use our CB forums for CB support - instead of the JED.
This sounds like a problem. Please use the Attachments forum on http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/attachments/forum/ and I'll try to help you figure this out.

The promo says there is CB integration. All I wanted to do is create a newsletter for all my CB members.
But I need to create a list to create a newsletter. And I cannot see any easy way to link my CB members to a list. After trawling through the web and readmes and watching those painful "training" video tutorials people insist on making, I eventually gave up.
For simple newsletters there are better options, IMO.
Unfortunately other things were broken in the process, notably the readmore tag button. The author says there are other ways of inserting the tag but I can't find it.
Shame, really.
JCE has its own Readmore and Pagebreak buttons in the Editor Layout (not the ones below the editor window). These are better than the default Joomla! Readmore / Pagebreak buttons as 1) They overcome an issue with block element splitting caused by the Joomla! Readmore / Pagebreak code and 2) Pagebreaks become editable when using the JCE method.
This no fuss component does all of that.
