Flexi Contact
I last tried Flexi Contact over a year ago and wasn't very impressed. I didn't like the interface and things just didn't look very good.

I decided to give the extension another try this week to see if it had been improved on.

What a difference!!
Everything you could want from a Contact component is now in there, and it's very easy to customise to your own needs.

Top marks!

Yt Mega K2 Items II
Purchased this based on the examples featured on their 'Demo' page. But was left feeling disappointed.

Using K2 2.5, it will only source K2 items from child categories, not from a parent/root category. And the four themes look very basic, and will require css editing to sit well with almost any template.
And to top it off, their contact form for submitting support tickets does not work!

A nice idea, just requires more work!

Dear Moraelin

Yesterday, we upgraded this module to work for unlimited levels of categories. You can use any level of categories for main categories, also, we are moving to new hosting, Next time, you can submit tickets easier

Thanks for your feedback

K2Tabber
After installing this extension I found that the drop down list attached to the K2 Component menu item (K2 2.5) had disappeared.

And as there is no uninstall function for this extension as it is neither a Component, Module or Plugin, you're left without one of K2's nice new features.

Be wary.

Hi Moraelin,

if you had asked for assistance on our forum, you would have received free support within hours.

K2 2.5 is compatible with J1.6 and J1.7 so, beeing our extension J1.5 Native, is ovious it could create issue.

Now in our downloading page there is a "Pay Attention" warning.

To unistall K2Tabber you only need to:
- unistall plugin
- delete k2tabber template
- reinstall k2 2.5
(this steps would solve the issue)

If you find problem please wriote on: forum.webself.it

I think we don't deserve this review and vote..

Regards

Tienda
Tienda provides the main component parts for any good stock manageable shop. Everything you would need to get going is there, and more!
I found the styling and interface to be very user friendly for both customers and admin.

But what makes Tienda better than most of the other store extensions out there, is that it has everything laid out in the back-end in a simple intuitive way. With a lot of shops you're left trying to puzzle your way around massive back-end feature lists and sections. But with Tienda it's well contained and everything is where you'd expect it to be.

Hopefully they can keep it this way and it'll turn out to be one of the best stores for Joomla!

I tweaked it a little to suit my template, but other than that it works out-of-the-box!

Art Text Rotator
Just tested this on a Mac.
It works well on Firefox, but on Safari and Chrome it does not render correctly. It just produces static links with no animation.

That would normally deserve just 1 star, but as it's a new extension I'm sure the dev's will get round to sorting this glitch out!
Owner's reply

Thank you for your comment.

Demo works fine for us in the latest versions of Safari and Chrome: http://demo.artetics.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=166&Itemid=169

Please feel free to contact us by email with the URL where you experience the issue: info@artetics.com

JoomShopping
This product does have quite good functionality and is reasonably easy to set up.

And while the footer tagged on the bottom is fine. The 199 Euro price tag to have it removed is far more than this product is actually worth.

There are far better Commercial/cheaper extensions out there that don't extract your hard earned cash by subterfuge.
Owner's reply

If you stay our link to our site there is nothing to pay.
We do not see any problem .. we want that link .. in case you not want the link you have to pay the license .. so where exactly is the issue?
All functions of shop are working without that license key!
We do press any user to pay .. but for shure it helps for development if users also pay the license to have more possibilty to create more features for future.

CMSE Multi Media Player
Quick and easy to set up, with a very nice range of different skins to fit in with the look of any site. I literally set this up within 2 minutes and it looks great!
And the retro Plexi skin, with old school switches and styling, looks amazing.

And even though this is a commercial extension, it only costs $5.
Well worth it.

Would give this 6 stars if I could!
Owner's reply

Thanks and be sure to get the latest release with some additional functions.

Just to clarify though: the skins were not designed by us so credit goes to the authors which are all listed at longtail video's addon page as indicated in the module details. Also the $5 fee is not for the single module but for access to all available extensions for life.

IProperty
The google maps integration and customizable filters gives this extension a huge amount of potential.
After reading up on it, I bought this extension with a view to using it for something other than real estate. And with very little coding it can be bent to the needs of any intrepid website developer.

It's quite expensive, but as it does what no other extension out there does(for the time being), it's well worth it!

AC File Payments is simple, effective and provides the same (if not better) functionality than most of the commercial plugins out there.

Dione FileUploader
I used Dione File Uploader to give a client the ability to add new images to their website photo galleries whenever they want.

Simple to install, and very user friendly.

And a quick edit of the mod_easyfileuploader.xml file lets you easily select whatever destination root folder you want to use.

Thanks for this great extension.

RokQuickCart
Rokquickcart is good in many ways.

However, due to compatibility issues with Google Chrome, it does not show cart images of what you have added to your cart, only text filepaths. This looks bad, and leaves the customer wondering whether they are purchasing the actual item they wanted.

Rocket Theme have not offered a fix for this as yet, even on their paid subscription support forum, of which I am a member. They are oddly reluctant to comment on this glaring issue.

So unfortunately, as growing numbers of internet users migrate to Google Chrome, it leaves this potentially good extension, somewhat redundant.

Admin Tools
An excellent component.
With just a couple of clicks from your admin panel, your Joomla is updated to the latest version.

Simple install and very easy to use!

AG Google Analytics
From the other reviews I can tell that this extension works well for some people.
However, no matter what I entered in the 'GA Website Profile ID' box, I could not get access to my analytics.

Let down by lack of documentation.

AtomiconGallery
Easy to install and configure. And great looking as well.

It would be nice if the images could be arranged in a random order.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the nice review.

Interesting option the random image option.

We might make that a parameter option :) we'll keep you posted :)

Advanced Module Manager
Great Work my friend.

This should definitely become part of Joomla core.

AdminBar Docker
A simple idea which makes a big difference.
Useful, intuitive ideas like this is what its all about.

Quick installation with immediate results.

Exposé bridge
This is by far the best free Joomla gallery.
Simple yet highly configurable.

Some webservers will require adjustments to the 'save session path' and 'permissions' though.
The creator should better address these in the user manual.

Other than thet, fantastic.

mod GetFirefox
A very useful little mod.

Worth having for all those people who think that IE is the 'only' browser because it comes already installed on windows!
byMoraelin, April 22, 2009
This Plugin is perfect. It works exactly as it says it does, by adding {backbutton} to any article you have a backbutton on the page.
No need to mess about, or change any settings.

All plugins should be made like this!!!
