IP filter
I've been using this on one of my websites for a while now and I've managed to block a large number of IPs that are trying to brute force hack the website.

It also comes in useful when a legitimate customer logs in using the wrong credentials as I can see what they used to try and login and contact tham.

One thing that would be REALLY nice to have...

An auto block if a user from a specific IP attempts and fails "x" number of times as I just had almost 400 attempts from one IP that were unsucessful but an auto block would have made life a little easier.

cPanel Info Pro
Like yourselves I manage a number of websites and even though I synchronise my users credentials for the Joomla and cPanal and my own website access they very rarely login to cPanel.

This displays critical stats quickly and easily for them on their own website and much easier than coding a solution myself.

One minor bug that I would like a fix for though:

When I ran it first time the div "cpanelInfoProSpacePercentage" was not shadinf in correctly, at all in-fact.

However, when I put a module class suffix in the backend this displayed but it changed the layout.

It'd be nice if this worked without having to use a workaround.

Automatically Generated Menu
Hi

I've used this on a number of 1.5 sites and it's great. However, I'm trying to develop a website in 1.7 as I need the additional categories features and it produces the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/*****/public_html/modules/mod_autgen_menu/tmpl/default.php on line 20

Then after editing it a little:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/*****/public_html/modules/mod_autgen_menu/tmpl/default.php on line 39

I know this isn't the right place to post but couldn't find any method of contacting the developer through their website and I thought they might like to look into it...

HIT Google Map v3
I had it installed and running in minutes. However, no API was asked for and there's nowhere to input it.

Also, when I created a menu item linking to the component it simply returns a 404 error when I browse it through the front end.

I got round this by firing the plugin in articles.
Owner's reply

component and the plugin is intended to display the Google Maps in the articles and in modules place, not for direct linking with menu item.

Jumi
I have been using JUMI for a number of years now to do things like:

Automatically convert prices into other currencies
Display dynamic content pulled from a table
Handle hand coded forms and pages

All in all it's been an extremely good application accepting PHP, MySQL, CSS and HTML with only one minor issue that I had to code around:

I can't get it to fire plugins "{PluginName}" within the JUMI module or code.
userport
Here's the process I followed:

Upgraded the primary website's Joomla installation using the Fantastico option available.
1.5.17 --> 1.5.22

Backed up the website.

As I used a copy to restore the primary website onto the secondary's domain I had to do a manual update through cPanel's file manager.
1.5.20 - 1.5.22

Backed up the website.

Applied the upgrade through cPanel's file manager.

Backed up the website again.

Exported users from the primary domain

Imported to the secondary

Backups not required but hey, you never know...!

Observations...

Maybe a simple export & Import option for people like myself who simply want the data and can edit it locally later would be nice.

Reasonably intuitive but I still read through the process prior to executing the transfer.

All in all a good component and easy to use.
Owner's reply

Thank you for the nice review, but I'm still a bit confused: I tried hard to provide a simple export & Import option! True, while still providing a lot of functionality.

Posting a ticket or emailing me directly to detail the confusions and difficulties is much appreciated. Your comments may give ideas for future improvements.

Regards,

Thinkery ProjectLog
I downloaded, configured and set up a sample project in less than 15 minutes. Good.

I've worked in Project Management and apply the principles to all my websites for new clients. I hand coded a lot of stuff including timesheets where a client can login and review work completed on their particular project.

With the exception of allocating time to a particular project log Thinkery does everything I need.

I can now create a new project with all the associated documentation in one place for the client or anyone else respobsible to download.

I will have to duplicate the logs in my own DB for timekeeping purposes but if that was to be added to this project component it would be excellent.

All in all a big thumbs up, a great time saver and provides the client with complete visibility...!

obTODO
I have a standard list of tasks that I have to complete when I develop a new website with Joomla so I installed this extension and then exported the MySQL data so I can load it into any new site and use it as a checklist.

Cool ap...!

I've been using XHTML Kit for years to edit websites and love the syntax highlighting.

I ran a quick test (VERY quick) on this and it does what it says on the tin.

Fantastic.

OK, one for the newbies maybe...

This extension was just what I was looking for as I use Missing META DATA for articles but needed something for sections and categories and this baby did the trick. Just a few steps:

1. Register
2. Download
3. Unzip
4. Install the component
5. Install the plugin
6. Activate the plugin
7. Go to the component and update your META TAGs

Couldn't be easier.

Thanks for an easy extension guys...!

SimpleCaddy
I've loaded this into a website and it worked straight out of the box.

Something I'd like to see in future versions if possible:

Alternative payment gateways including cards.

My client is using PayPal so he's more than happy with the current option.

Huru Helpdesk
I've hand coded a few systems like this in my time and I know how much work can go into making something that works well for all users.

For me it's fine as an off the shelf package However I do have a requirement for Spanish so I'd like the dev team to get in touch as I'll be translating the language file into Spanis for my Spanish clients and would like to make them available to Huru as a way of saying thank you.
