obSocialSubmit
I purchased this extension with some trepidation.. I have tried others, but just wasn't happy with them. obSocialSubmit... What can I say.. The best auto social submit I have tried! Installed easy, and the support is spot on! I purchased the Facebook pages Addon, to submit to my business page... works great!

If you want a good auto social submit extension.. THIS IS THE ONE!

I have been looking for such a plugin for J1.6. I finally came across this one. It does as it says.. My only issue is that you can only input cats and articles you want exluded. My site is setup with over 50 categories.. and I only want to use this plugin on 2 categories. This means I must input 48 categories...also each time I create a new category I need to remember to also add it to this plugin.. A lot of work for me.

Much prefer this plugin to allow the input of categories you want the plugin to control.

Why not offer users both options..either to list categories to exlcude, or categories to include?

Thanks for review. I changed my plugin to you. Now please try new version 1.1.

I originally purchased ver 2.. After a lot of tickets submitted and them trying to get it to work on my site.. they finally fixed some of the bugs. When version 3 came out, I went to log into my account to download the latest version, only to find my account had been deleted, and not able to log in. I emailed the company.. They reponded the next day asking for my subscription details.. I e-mailed them back immediately.. 4 days later and still NO response from them..Even after send 3 e-mails requesting the fix my account so I can get the latest version. I paid 69.95 for 12 months access to upgrades...Now can't even do that!!

Mark,

We have fixed the error with your account so you can access the downloads. I do apologize that we did not promptly get back to you in the 4 days you mentioned, though as I explained in the ticket (and can be seen by viewing the ticket in our support center) our ticketing system was having problems receiving email from your account as it has found its way into our email blacklist. This has been prevented in the future.

The only outstanding issue is that you wish to receive support on multiple sites with one subscription which we denied. Our terms of service states that we support one domain per subscription and we already fixed issues on a previous Wordpress for Joomla installation of yours.

If you require further assistance or have any questions, feel free to contact us again through our ticket system or forums.

Kindest regards,
Andy Poorman

JoomListings
I am not going to go into all the issues I had with this component. I feel the developer has tried to make this way too complicated and therefore way too many bugs that still need to be worked through. I spent weeks trying to get this working the way "I" wanted, and ended up spending way too much time on it and getting frustrated. I have gone with another option.

Thanks for your comment. I will not take this as a review because this doesn't explain the pros and cons of the product.

JoomListings is a complicated product. To cover the wide market of the end users requirements product is difficult to setup up initially. To overcome that we offer FREE hands on training and support for the customer.

Before purchasing product I always encourage end-users to email us so that we make sure product cover their requirements.

Clearly I see here end user getting unhappy on setting up the product. I apologize for that. But was support involved.... If there were issues were they reported....

JFBConnect
After trying myAPI, and getting no satisfaction from the author, and him blaming my site for his facebook connect module not working, I decided to purchase this one. What can I say..worked straight out of the box, and not one single issue!

Thanks guys..GREAT work!

myApi
This mod does not work on my joomla site. After a few e-mail exchanges informing the author I was getting errors with his mod, and that it doesn't work. He asked me to donate some money and he would log into my site and fix the problem. I donated some money, and a copule days later the author sends me an e-mail to download the update. I downloaded it and installed the mod. Still same result, error messages and not working. I have sent 2 e-mails, asking him to look at the problem. Not one response from him.

Well clearly you are unhappy and I apologise, as I said in my private reply to you your email simply got lost amongst all the other people I have been helping over the past few days and I thought that you sent me an email saying that everything was ok, until you later contacted me about another problem.

After going to your site to look at the second problem it was immediately clear that myApi was working fine. The problem was you haven't fully tested your site. Your site has javascript that is causing fatal errors may be affecting myApi. Also have you removed mootools form your site? Mootools 1.1 is part of the Joomla default core and is needed by myApi. What you have done is install myApi onto a broken website and accused myAPi of breaking it.

And though I am very grateful for your £10 donation, for the amount of time it will take me to debug all the third party problems on your site this donation barley covers the average wage of a web developer. This is why I thought it was just a donation to the project and the work already done, instead of being payment for professional services.

For anyone reading this review in weeks to come go to, you should be able to know that all these issues have been resolved.
