Quickcontent
Good idea for Developers, but would be VERY useful with some changes for general non-tech users.

Publish to menu option is a great addition that is missing unexplicably from the Joomla core.

Problems
- location in Components pulldown menu instead of integrated in the Article manager section confusing.

- can't unpublish from menu unless you go to menu manager.

- doesn't use the standard publish / apply buttons, so unclear at first how to publish article.

- after publishing article, there's no clear way to see other articles or link back to a main component page.
NOTE: Using core Article publisher, after you publish an article you taken to the Article manager page.

I would LOVE to enable the publish to menu option here and add it to the core functionality of the core Article publisher.

The software may work, but I didn't understand how to actually add code to content using the component.

I installed and try to use the component but wanted more instructions on how to use it properly.

I read the minimal instructions, but they were unclear to me.
The Developer was prompt in reply but unfriendly in his response.

I'm a Web Developer, so I think if I'm asking for more instructions then that's an issue that most average Joomla users will have as well.

JCK Editor
The default editor tinyMCE in J15 is good, but it fails to deliver on two key areas: viewing page code and managing images.

To move between design and code view in tinyMCE requires opening a popup window with an unformated presentation of the code. It is difficult to view because the text is not wrapped.
Using JoomlaFCK the code is wrapped, which makes viewing code more appealing.

To add or manage images in tinyMCE, there's no upload or browse option, so you have to know the name of the images and where they are located. Additionally, if you want to add new images from your HD you would have to go to your FTP program to upload them.
Using JoomlaFCK, the image manager includes upload and browse options, so you upload new images or browse the image directory to select images to display.

Awesome to find an open-source Editor that offers so many features!

It is working, which is good. It would be nice if there were more instructions on code parameters.

Like how to turn off autostart on google videos!
Owner's reply

Thanks Pixelate,
You can now join denVideo project at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/denvideo/

To turn off the autostart just go to plugin params and set autostart = false, or {denvideo video.google.com/blablabla 400 500 false}, or edit the code, on the first line before the google video position insert:
$autoplay = 0;

I hope this could help,
