RSMembership!
I have recently adopted RS Memberships after using Ambra Sub for the past 18 months.
After testing a variety of other subscription components, I was impressed with the functions provided, its real MVC structure, the support provided plus its integration with K2.
The support at RS is top notch and have always responded timely and efficiently.

Anyone interested in using RS is free to contact me for a a low down.

OpenPotion Asynchronous Google Analytics
Like others, I have been using Bigshot for a long time.

This does exactly as it says.

Ensure that you disable Bigshot, after you have checked your pages source, to ensure that this is actually loading.

Simples, great job.

Content2PDF
This is one of those, just so simple extensions.
Genius!!

Once installed, through normal Joomla installer, at a little pdf link, which can be customised. This allows visitors to click the link to add to a "basket".
Once the visitor has finished adding pages to the basket, they follow the process through and it creates a full pdf of all the pages.
Theres even a module available to.

K2Joom recommends this for K2 and soon Joomla articles. In fact, I am even going to be adding this to the K2 official documents site in the coming days.

Great job.

Thanks for the feedback Simon... Sometimes the simple ideas are the best ones.

JForce
The demo of this looks awesome with some fantastic features, however their site registration process was flawed, could not login to my account to download the purchase.

For a company that provides an extension to provide support, they have no support themselves.
Repeated tickets submitted, emails even to the parent company and no response.

I had to file a complaint with PayPal to get a refund, which was granted as they failed to respond to it.

Anyone considering to part with $99 for an extension, consider the support you get, none!

I would still consider using this extension as it does have great potential, but I have no confidence in the company.

Hi K2Joom,

I cannot begin to express how upset I was to hear of your trouble with JForce and our support. When I read about the problems you were experiencing I was extremely disheartened. I have restructured the entire company and re-written almost the entire component. We have completely changed the way our website logs in and registers users. If you would be interested in trying our product and support again I would like to personally extend an apology and provide you with the level of service you should have received.

If you are open to this solution I will make sure that your account is re-activated immediately and I will personally help with any support issues that may arise. I cannot say enough how discouraged I was with the way our support was handled in the past; but I can proudly say now that we are handling things as they should have been, and I would like the opportunity to demonstrate that to you.

I look forward to restoring your confidences in JForce both in our amazing product as well as our improved and refocused dedication to support.

Thank you,
David Hurley

Admin Menu K2
This is one of those simple modules which basically removes the default backend menu which would normally allow you to select Joomla content such as articles, categories, sections etc.

If you or your client is using K2 soley for content creation, then this will prevent then from accidentally creating Joomla content instead of K2.

Use this in conjunction with disabling the Admin Quick Icons, for Joomla Content.

Well done.

Trendy Social Share
This is one of those, "It does as it Says on the Tin" extensions.
Download > Unzip > Upload Module > Upload Plugin > Enable Plugin.
Select your parameters and publish > Job Done.

Whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

Note to developer for future inclusion.
Add to Email
Add to Linkedin
Allow ordering of social elements.
Allow centering of the list in horizontal.


Fix some missing language in plugin.

9/10 :)

K2Joom is pleased to be using Foola To Do on our site to help make reminders for tests, tempaltes, extensions etc that we wish to carry out and for just about anything else we think of and need reminding about.

Install, Enable, Publish to Cpanel position and there it sits patiently waiting and displaying it reminders.

We have used this with Joomla 1.5.12 and various Admin templates

We recommend this.

JAutosearch
This has potential, but it crashed our site.
Ticket has been raised and Steven mailed.

Have not seen this functioning on our site yet, as soon as this was enabled, it caused jquery conflicts which messed with our slideshows, menus, logins etc.

Despite disabling the jquery parameters in the plugin, it still did not resolve our issue, until we actually uninstalled the plugin.

Dont let this put you off, test it for yourself, it may well work well for you.

K2Tabber
Does as it says on the tin, installs k2 template to components folder, so be careful when you update K2.

Users running categories that already have a K2 template assigned might have an issue.
Owner's reply

Tanks K2Joom!
We have done some tests after your warnings.

- K2Tabber simply adds an additional folder in "root/components/com_k2/templates".

- When you update k2 our folder is not affected by update.

- Also if you have categories that already have a k2 template assigned, they will be not modified and will retain their settings and template.

K2Tabber use is completely optional.

Tanks for Feedback!

OK, this is one of those "does as it says on the tin" extensions.

Cant fault it, it works.

K2
For those of you that are considering downloading K2, please do so.

For those of you that instant trash this extension because you cant get it to work, then consider these options first.

1) Go to http://simon.getk2.org for extensive K2 documents, guides, tips and tricks.
2) K2 has a very vibrant user and support community. Pop in to http://getk2.org and ask a question.
3) More specifically, you can now Ask Simon, the creator of simon.getk2.org
4) With those three pieces of support alone, you can easily gain access to dedicated support if you need it.

As with all extensions there is a learning curve, but if your stuck and you dont ask questions, then you will never get the answers.

Reading the reviews etc, this extension sounds very promosing, however it failed to run on our deployment.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in libraries/joomla/database/table.php on line 847

We will do some research and post an update, in case others see this.

Dont be put off though, this is well worth trying.

Cant fault it.
Upload, extract, load the page, enter DB details, updates as expected.

Highly recommended.
