Xmap
★★★★
Essential component
byIanE, September 15, 2010
Xmap
I have used Joomap, upon which this component is built, to great effect on a number of sites but Joomap doesn't appear to have been updated for a while and didn't work properly for me on my latest virtuemart site.

Xmap has picked up the baton and works really well - although it may take those unfamiliar with joomap a while to figure it out. Only problem I had was that the option to edit menu items included in the map didn't work in Firefox (worked fine in Chrome though). Also there is a link to the author which is on by default but which can be switched off in preferences.

It's great to have a properly working sitemap again - thanks to the authors and also the original author of joomap.
Ignite Gallery
★★★
No Moderation on Images or comments

Ignite Gallery
This is a nice looking gallery with a lot of good features that I needed, particularly user image uploads, voting and comments. Unfortunately in the current version (2.1)there is no facility to moderate uploads or comments which is very risky so I am going to be using something else for my next project. The next version promises moderation so I hope to see this within the six month subscription period. I was also struck by the global parameters menu which looks almost identical to Phoca gallery - do these have common origins?
Automated cron backup thru email
★★★
Security Concerns

Automated cron backup thru email
This appears to be a very good solution, I like the fact that it operates at O/S level and is independent of the Joomla installation, but by using e-mail your site's contents could be exposed, this would be a problem if your database contained sensitive data (user details etc)
Acajoom
★★★★
A very useful component

Acajoom
Acajoom meets most of my requirements for a news letter component. Integration with community builder is very good, all my community builder users appeared as potential list recipients. Backend admin is good but management of news letters through the front end is a little clunky and seems incomplete, (but maybe I haven't got it configured correctly.) It's great that people are willing to write and distribute software for free so it seems miserly complaining, but the paid for versions are disproportionately expensive.
Blogg-X
★★★★
A very useful application
byIanE, January 15, 2008
Blogg-X
Updating a Jommla site is fine when you have a fast internet connection but if your only link to the outside world is a mobile phone with GPRS you're stuck. This application is the answer. Prepare your article off line and upload it in a flash. It's not yet perfect in that it lacks some functions that others have commented on (spell check would be good, I'd like to be able to change a few more of the publishing parameters and meta data) but when time is the issue you can probably manage without. The Blogg-x gives the impression of being well written and looks good to. Recommended.
