Not ready for prime time

The installation of ver. 1.3.1 on a Joomla 1.7.0 site went without a hitch. Documentation is adequate and the user interface is adequate. When the Facebook site URL was loaded and tested, there was an error from FB. The module has /pages/ hard coded into the creation of the URL. Example: facebook.com/MySite was coded: facebook.com/pages/MySite That is clearly an error. I've corrected the code in the module by deleting the /pages/ from the URL construction and everything worked well.

I then tried the ver BETA 1.4 and got an installation error that the system couldn't read the XML file. Clearly, both versions need some work.

About v.1.3:
When I began developing this module, should I only use it for a page on facebook and have not thought about that it could be used for anything other than that.

I'm sorry about the problem with 1.4 BETA! But it was only a problem for 3-4 days, before it was reported and a new version was uploaded.

Btw. 1.4 is nearly ready for a stable release with HTML 5 support, SEF Support, and totally re-design!

Sorry for your wasted time on the module.

Nice Calendar

PHP Quick Calendar E
This is a great calendar, and it will be all the better when the developer(s) add the features suggested in previous reviews. i.e. 12 hour selections with AM/PM, day/month order selection and CSS color selections.
I would add that it currently allows you to have a monthly event, and that event is scheduled for the same day of the month by e.g. the 18th day of the month etc. It would be nice to have it schedule the specific day of the month based on the week. e.g. The third Monday of each month.

The small module is a very nice feature which complements the full component that manages the calendar.

All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing the mentioned enhancements.
Simple Reset Hits Module

Nice module for resetting hit counters

Simple Reset Hits Module
This is an admin module that loaded easily in J1.6.3 and reset all my articles without a problem.
It resets all hit counters at once to zero. There is no option to select a single article for reset.

This module is most useful for when you have completed the development of a site and you want a fresh reset of all hit counters prior to going live.
Another use would be to do a monthly or yearly hit count reset. No need to go into the database.
Nice module.
Cool Hits Counter

Clearly not ready for prime time

Cool Hits Counter
The author's web site indicates that this module is not compatible with Joomla 1.5.x. It certainly isn't working on 1.5.9.
It loaded correctly and provides only text output.

On further analysis, the language file has image path errors that prevent the admin panel display of graphic samples for selection.

Selection of image output doesn't work.

This could be a nice module if the author tested it and fixed the errors prior to publishing.

The reviewer should try the native 1.5 version, which has been available on joomlacode.org since early February. I just downloaded and retested it on my own site and it worked fine.

Does what it says.

If you need a simple count down to an event, this is all you need. There are inputs for pre and post count text. It would be nice to have font size and color selections, but as other reviews have stated, you can make the changes yourself if you know CSS and PHP.

Sample text: Only 38 days until the baby arrives!
