Simple but Effective
byJoshlewis, May 22, 2013
Custom Text Button
I'm glad to see this extension working just fine on Joomla 3.1.1. Support was swift when I was questioning whether the extension was Joomla 3 compatible. It's also very light weight and inserts what you would expect.
RedactorJS Editor
★★★★★
Well Integrated
byJoshlewis, May 21, 2013
RedactorJS Editor
I've used the RedActor editor elsewhere so I know how it operates. StackIdeas has done a fine job integrating this nice editor into Joomla. Now I will say that it isn't the best editor out there, but it's pretty good and certainly goes the basics needs of a editor. This is no fault of stackideas. The editor lacks little additions like advanced set ups on tables (cell padding, class, padding, ect). Also the editor bar does not float the top when you scroll down which makes it harder to make text bold when your half way down the article (considering that you have to scroll all the way back up). However this extension still wins 5 stars for putting off a great start. Keep up the good work.

Cheers Josh Lewis

Version 5 Rocks
byJoshlewis, April 23, 2013
CComment Core
Version 4 was pretty good. But the latest version that Daniel has made has a modern feel to it. The comments are posted without reloading the page. A great comment extension overall.
Event Gallery
★★★★★
Outstanding!
byJoshlewis, April 11, 2013
Event Gallery
This is by far one of the best made galleries in Joomla. I've seen some pretty good galleries in my time, but this one stands out. Support was very good. They even added a feature that I requested at a fast pace. The styling is perhaps the best out of any Joomla gallery extension out there. I guess the best things in life are free after all.
GPXTrackMap
★★★★★
Impressive!
byJoshlewis, February 18, 2013
GPXTrackMap
I admit this extension was better than I expected. Not saying I had low expectations either. I love how you can adjust the hill shading, set the default map type to Google Terrain (Physical), and it allows one to download the track. It would be nice if the track information had a way to show imperial measurements (I personally like metric better but my users would rather have imperial). Thanks for creating this nice extension. Well done.
Owner's reply

Hi, and thanks for your kind review. As for imperial measurements: They are already available, and you can use them by editing the Layout Template files (I have just updated the documentation on that, to make it more clear how to use this feature). See Documentation -> Options Reference -> Layout Templates on the Plugin homepage for more.

Enjoy!

JProNoHitCount

Should be Built into the Core
byJoshlewis, January 9, 2013
JProNoHitCount
I worked with Mario in the making of this extension. I helped test and sharpen the idea. He did very well at the creation of this simple but well built plugin. Not only does it allow you to choose usergroups, but this makes it possible to make it so when a user looks at his own articles it does not add hits. But when that user looks at other articles that he/she didn't write the hits are still counted. This also works with the extension Joomgallery for the hit counter. I've wanted this for a long time and am happy that someone went out to make it at a very cheap price.

The Best Slide Show!
byJoshlewis, January 2, 2013
JSN ImageShow PRO
I've tested out many other slideshows in the JED. This one is hands down the best one. Plenty of options, works very well, looks great, and good forum support. Joomlashine is up there on my favorite Joomla sites. This extension is well thought out. Plus they update frequently and are working with the latest versions of Joomla.

Thank You for your hard work.
Cheers Josh Lewis

Good Extension but...
byJoshlewis, November 28, 2012
Content Versions
The extension worked quite well and does what it says. However it does not work on the front-end at all. I contacted support which they replied saying that it would be too much work for them to add this feature. My site mostly uses the front end. As a result I cannot use this extension for my site. I will however compliment how well this extension works for the backend.
MarkItUp HTML Editor
★★★
A Basic Editor
byJoshlewis, November 28, 2012
MarkItUp HTML Editor
I do appreciate how simple this editor is which it did it's job just fine. However from my experience it is not very advanced. I tried pasting in images from other sites which it does not insert. This is more of a blank editor that has buttons that do things (bold, image, ect.)

Certainly not a bad editor, but I was hoping for a bit more. I'm sure some folks will find this extension useful for simplicity.
Owner's reply

Thank you for trying the extension and for sharing your experience with it.
It should be noted for others that this is not a WYSIWYG editor, but rather, an HTML editor for those who like to edit the raw HTML of articles.

For that reason it's not going to have advanced 'editor' features you might find in other WYSIWYG editors which are typically designed for those less experienced and those who need to have HTML prettied up for them.

A Neat Little Extension

AlphaUserPoints - Next Rank
This is a neat little extension for showing the next rank for users. For those wanting to encourage ranks I'd recommend this module.

Nice Little Addition
byJoshlewis, November 6, 2012
CB Random User
This module makes for a nice little addition to my frontpage. It works as it says. I wish there was a module class suffix so that I could style the module content to my liking.

Thank you for your time to review!

We appreciate your feedback. ;-)

iJoomla Speed Check Module
★★★★★
Works Well
byJoshlewis, October 27, 2012
iJoomla Speed Check Module
Tested it out today which it seems quite accurate. To confirm it's accuracy I even ran it along side Kunena's timer which they were very similar. The copyright notice is a little annoying, but this is a test speed module which is not meant to be displaying all the time. Thanks for making this extension.

My Favorite Video Plugin!
byJoshlewis, October 20, 2012
Videobox
I've tested out many video plugins in the JED which there are some good ones out there. However, this one surpassed my expectations. Starting out it was great to begin with, but I decided "what can be done to make this better?". So I contacted support asking about adding a feature to allow full youtube url which they were quick to reply. In a short amount of time the feature was added to the main plugin. I then requested another feature be added which was custom tags to make it so that I could make the syntax what ever I wanted. Sure enough they responded quickly and before long the feature was also added. This plugin also has some other interesting parameters which I have yet to see in the other youtube plugins. So in my opinion this is the best youtube plugin in the JED. Big thanks to the developers!

The Best Point System
byJoshlewis, October 14, 2012
AlphaUserPoints
This is hands down the best point system in the entire JED. Yes Bernard is sometimes too busy to reply to every post of mine, but replies to many and has made a very well made component. I would certainly recommend this to folks wanting a point system.

A Great Addition to Main Menu
byJoshlewis, October 5, 2012
Smooth MenuMatic
This is a neat extension for boosting the main default menu in Joomla. The CSS in my template wasn't fit for the built in joomla menu so as a result I had to do some CSS customization (which is not the owner of this extensions fault). I then wanted to style up the menu which I had troubles with, the owner replied very fast and pointed me in the right direction. I changed the h-nav id to nav which made it easier to customize. Now my menu is working great and looks nice. I also like how this extension is light weight (14 kb).

Thanks for making this, I would recommend this to others.
Komento
★★★★★
Awesome Component
byJoshlewis, May 27, 2012
Komento
This is certainly the best FREE Comment system for Joomla! And even better they have some of the best support I have ever seen. Very fast replies (within an hour at times). I request a few additions which were added quite fast. Can't wait until the comment system is portable. Well done Komento Team!
BreadCrumbs Advanced

Should be in the Core
byJoshlewis, April 7, 2012
BreadCrumbs Advanced
Simple, light weight, and effective. Earlier tonight I was thinking to myself "if only Joomla had a way to shorten breadcrumbs"... Then I searched though the extensions and found this extension. Did just what I wanted and expected. Speed was not negatively effected as a reviewer below has said.

Thanks for making this. :-D

Good Slider but A Bad Addition
byJoshlewis, March 24, 2012

Vinaora Nivo Slider
At first glance this was perhaps my favorite jquery slideshow module. There were a few bugs in the older versions which they fixed which I was pleased to see it working almost perfectly.

But there is one big issue with this which is that it creates an extra slide in the slideshow that links back to the author. Normally that would not be a big deal, but I was using this extension to showcase websites I've created which hence would not honestly reflect my work. If the author very much wants a backlink, it would be better to put it at the bottom rather than add an extra slide.

I attempted to contact the author via a comment on the page (considering that it seems to be the only way) which someone else agreed that this addition is annoying.

I'm writing this review in hopes that the author would change this. Or if not, informing everyone else about this hidden addition. I do appreciate the work that the author has put into this extension.

Lot of Potential
byJoshlewis, March 13, 2012
Listbingo
I've disappointed not to even see a version compatible with joomla 1.6 or 1.7 yet alone we are on joomla 2.5 now. Back in the joomla 1.5 days I've tested this component which it was by far my favorite of all the classified extensions. So I say 4 stars is fair considering these factors. But I am going to have to move on...
Best of luck to the developers.

Good Plugin

CB AlphaUserPoints Activity
Does just what it says. Currently tested on CB 1.8 + AUP 1.7.1 + Joomla 2.5.1 which it works just fine. I would recommend an option to be able to control how many activity items display.
