AutoTweet NG
I had some trouble installing this at first because I was rushing it. The instructions are clear, and you have to have both the AutoTweet and AutoTweet Kunena plugins installed.

After installing, I did a test run and it didn't work, but I just posted a reply to a topic and I got the message stating that the autotweet worked. I checked my twitter account and it was up! This is a huge step for my website. I can't thank you enough! Great plugins.

PU Favorite Games
Installed okay, and it works well accept it has a major issue. It always shows all of the favorites no matter what the back-end variable is. There's no support link to get help for this.

PU Arcade AJAX Module
This module installed just fine, looks great and works well but there aren't a lot of options. My website has a lot of non-scoring flash games so it would be nice to have an option in the back end to disable the score and instead show a play count and/or rating.

The other module on this site does that, accept it would have been nice to have your ajax module. Also, I didn't see any buttons to press to change the content on the main page which is the whole reason one uses ajax. Thanks.

PU Arcade Newest Games
This is exactly what I was working for. It's perfect. Compact, shows the game's thumbnail, and it has all the configuration options I needed. Thanks! Great work.

Thanks for adding this. The only problem I had was that the xfire image was too long for my page and I had to change the default tab position. Looks great on my site. Thanks!

i have now made it so you can set the skin and size of the user bar.

There are a few things I would like to change:

- In the ACP, when you finish adding a medal or a medal icon it goes to the awards tab instead of back to the medals tab.

- It would be nice to customize the layout of the awards, or have a "top 10 latest awards" above the medals.

- Give users a customized page they can link to that shows all of the awards they have won. (to a friend or something)

- Have an example award or two so people can figure it out a bit easier.

- If someone made a CB plugin for this, that would be great.

The component works great! I think that this is a solid piece of work and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Also, I have a ton of components installed and there were no conflicts. (please don't rate 1/5 just because you messed up your installation)

Thank you for the review! Of course a CB-plugin is also available, showing all the awards of a user. You can find it on the Downloads page at Joomlacode.

Seyret Video
Anyone who goes around rating applications 1/5 because they didn't install it correctly or because they have another app that conflicts with it, should be embarrassed. This is an incredible application that's free, and rating it 1/5 is just malicious. I donated and got the pro version which allows you to upgrade from the backend. This is truly impressive since most components don't even tell you when there is a new version out.

The gallery itself is highly customizable. The only problem we had was that the category listing was hardcoded to be 4 columns but we fixed that ourselves. Pro version was worth the purchase for the lifetime upgrades and the different player skins but even if you don't upgrade, there's so much that you get for free with nothing hindering your site on the look and feel that you should try this component first without hesitation.

This really is the perfect app if you want a video gallery. It easily places videos from popular sites like youtube straight from the link, or you can upload your own video files and it converts them for you.

What more can you want? Oh yeah, AND it's free. How ungrateful does one have to be to rate so much quality and so many features a 1/5? There's nothing wrong with it, and if you can't get it working but you read reviews saying that it works fine then obviously you are doing something wrong.

This is a solid 5/5 with no need to look any further. :D

Zaragoza News Tabs Menu
All it does is add a panel with links and it uses one of your menus. It works just fine, but unless it's dynamic (AJAX or Moo tools), what's the point of having this? It's the same as the top menu.
Owner's reply

Dear Makoto.
I think that you don´t understand the way you can use the menu. This menu is for 2 level tabs menu. Nowadays is the only free and open 2 level tabs menu. It works, fine, is a clean html code.
It´s a CSS menú (no mootools, no javascript). I considered that this review is not real with the work, thanks.

The only input I can give is that it would be nice if "cpanel" was the default location. This is a great replacement for the original ACP user activity list. Thanks!
