I installed it, tried to use it as it was written here but it didn't work as it should. Than I checked for something like a manual, website of the developer or the demo site. Well, long story short... couldn't find anything. Nothing like a "how to do". Just uninstalled it again.

Community Builder
I tried to implement CB a few times in my site as I wanted to improve the user profiles and additional functions. I mean lets face it the profiles provided by joomla itself are more or less useless. Unfortunately I had to learn quite quickly that CB was not as easy to deal with as one might think. First of all finding all the components and extensions seperately was kind of chaotic but not realy an issue. More of an issue was the website of the provider. At times it took me quite a while to find the stuf I was looking for and than very often only to find out that the specific component/extension (whatever) was not free of charge. Don't get me wrong guys, I think CB is not bad at all, and I don't have a problem with the fact that not all of it is free, but for someone like me it is very often a pain. I finally dropped it. Which was another problem, getting rid of the entire thing. So from my perspective (and I stress MY PERSPECTIVE) CB might be a great extension but dealing with it is simply too messy.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your review and vote on our website (as you said, you didn't review the extension in here).

We're a bit surprised by your review and wonder if you are viewing our new website, which is completely redone since begin of this year, or another website: just in case:

Website of Community Builder: http://www.joomlapolis.com/

Regarding uninstalling CB: Uninstalling Community Builder is just a matter of uninstalling the component and the modules you installed. Nothing more required, as CB and CB Team plugins are cleanly implemented, not modifying any joomla tables nor any joomla files or directories. So here again we wonder if you are reviewing CB or something else.

You are really welcome to post to our forums on joomlapolis.com suggestions for improvements in our website in case something wasn't clear for you. It will be much more useful than here.

Xmap
Well I used xmap for quite a while but since I installed Joomla 1.6.3 it is not working anymore. I downloaded the latest version of xmap available but although it installed componens successfully, the program wasn't able to "(Error) building Admin Menus". Right now it looks quite useless to me. Hopefully that will change again.

I am using this Modul on Joomla 1.6 to keep my visiters up to date about what is going on regarding the situation in Egypt and this Modul is just perfect. Easy to intall and to set up, in fact it is that easy you don't realy need any documentation.

Well done guys!

Phoca - Google AdSense Easy
I recently switched from Joomla 1.5.22 to 1.6 and had to notice that whatever I tried to integrate my Adsense Code into the page, the Code didn't show up on the site using the user content modul (or however you call that damn thing in the English verison). No matter which editor or even no editor I used. So I was looking for any extension that would help me out on this. I first tried another one of these Google Adsense Extensions... I won't mention the name, but will tell you the thing was a mess, although it was marked as popular.

However, all I was looking for was a modul where I can put my Adsense Code, chose the position I would like it to be placed on the site, safe it and done. And finaly it looks like I found exactly that.

Thanks guys.

ShareButtons!
I was playing arround with some buttons provided by the various social networks myself and couldn't realy find a way how to arrange them without distoying the entire visual appearance of the page.

Therefore I was looking for a nice, simple and unobstructive way to give visitors the possibility to share the content they like with their friends, but without those buttons actually annoying users.

ShareButtons! turned out to be what I was looking for, an easy to install component that adds a bunch of small buttons nicely beneath each article. Easy to find if you are looking for a way to share, but easy to ignore if you do not give a damn.

JoomTest
It's quite easy...
Installation of JoomlaTest - easy and simple
creating categorie - no problem
creating a test - no problem
creating questions - no way!

At first I installed JoomlaTest wihtout sample surveys as I thought it wouldn't be a big thing to get it work but had to realize that I couldn't figure out how to insert questions to my tests.

So I uninstalled it and re-installed it again. This time including sample tests. The good news here: It worked and the sample tests even had questions...but, I still wasn't able or couldn't find out how to actually add questions to the tests myself.

When I checked the developers homepage... nothing helpful realy. Well, there are other options to use than JoomlaTest.
