jUpgrade
Tried to run the module several times. First it got stuck after downloading Joomla 1.6 – to get past that point I had to setup the module to skip download…then the installation came a few steps further but now it’s stuck with upgrading progress – migrating undefined its saying in the progress bar.

Imo to many errors that should have been debugged before released to end users.

Will reinstall my backup and try another tool even though this is the one suggested by joomla org. when upgrading from 1.5 to 1.6.

Smart Blog
Download / Installation:
Like many other there are absolutely no help and no description of what you need to install the module. The ZIP file you download “smartblogv1.5.1.zip” actually consist of 3 zip files:
blog.zip
mod_bloglatestpost.zip
plg_blog.zip
And absolutely no help or description at all but that’s the same problem with at least 50% or more of all the other extension caused by zero project management.
Configuration:
After installation of the 3 modules you are left at your own trying to guess how to configure the stuff.
It’s easy to get something that looks like a BLOK but it’s hard to figure out exactly how this has to be set up….to work!
On you ways testing yourself through the extension you find out that you are actually BETA testing the software and ends up getting angry and frustrated because there is absolutely no back-end control panel so that you can control accounts etc.

The software looks nice. It doesn’t do any harm and you get what you pay fore – which is weary little…

We still need to see a decent Web Log plug-in that works….

LyftenBloggie
Just uploaded and installed the LyftenBloggie.
Seems like there has been a great deal of work thrown in this Module for Joomla – hands up for that…

But seriously – setting up the module is not “just a walk in the park” – why should it be so hard to find some kind of description about how the module works.
I have spend more than 30 min. trying to find some kind of PDF document or just anything that could help me setting up LyftenBloggie…

Actually this is not only a problem with LyftenBloggie.
Most of the download site for Joomla plugins cryes for structure. On some of them it’s “mission impossible” to find “heads and tales” and what to download to get the module working.

So guy’s project management and a lot more of structure on your web pages would indeed help more people to feel lige wanting to use your stuff.

So where do I find the documentation and description for this module so that I can start using it and comment my findings / experience with the module….

Phoca Download
Being quit new to Joomla (a little bit more than 7 day’s) the system roocks….

With Phoca Download manager U get what U pay fore.
First of all it’s “Mission impossible” 2 find documentation to install and setup the system – Phoca’s homepage lacks structure.
But I managed to get Phoca Download to run within 2 hours.
The interface is nice but the buttom’s are ;-(

Next is setting up the module….
Without documentation I’m only capable of creating a menu which points to section which point to a category which contains the files which user could be able to download. It’s the same way user has to access the files – click on the menu, chose a section, chose a category, and then final chose a file….
Am I missing something here?
Furthermore it seems impossible to select only one section/category for a specific menu point it’s all or nothing
Isn’t it possible to go directly from the menu to the category folder?

Well without the documentation it hard to customize Pooco…

But it’s free and it works – what more can U expect?
Nice work – and still room for improvement.
