This works perfectly on a site I am running with lots of components, including Community Builder.
Installed, enabled, turned off login redirection on CBLogin module, and it works perfectly. Absolutely AWESOME! Big thanks!

Everything from purchasing to installation and getting support was top notch for this plugin.
It massively extends the functionality of Community Builder profiles and lets you escape from the dreaded tab layout!
Much promise when they are able to implement including other content (from plugins, e.g. from forums etc) - actively being developed with helpful responses on their forum.
Had to do a couple of tweaks to get the plugin button working with JCE however these are all documented quite clearly on the forum. Some great video tutorials give you clear ideas on how to get started - I can only assume the negative reviews didn't bother to check out the resources that this developer makes freely available.

This is a really useful feature to incorporate into your Community Builder site - the option to allow a user to delete their account.
It adds by default as a tab to your CB Profile, and you can specify a warning message informing them what it does when pressing the button.
What I would like to see as potential improvements are the following:
- Send the admin a message via email as to why they're deleting
- Probably more sensible to be under Edit Account rather than as a tab? And as a popup window rather than there all the time, perhaps?
- Option to deactivate the user and then have the administrator do the actual delete (could prevent erroneous deletions)

I downloaded this component having found it through the SOBI plugin, and I have to say I wasn't that optimistic but it has been PHENOMENAL in stopping the spam.
I had so many what I call manual spammers - they actually sit there and type the captcha fields out so don't get caught by the normal methods.
Because this queries the blacklists of known spammers by IP address, username and email, it catches probably about 98% of the spam.
I have had one or two false positives, but the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience (and if someone is blacklisted incorrectly they can apply to be removed, incidentally).
I would like to see this component developed further - for example enabling the redirection to a content article within the site rather than the die loud page (which could really do with looking a little bit more professional - I developed my own).
All in all, a VERY useful component which I will be following closely - I hope it goes on to expand!

This is a good start on an area which is hugely lacking in the Joomla world.
I would like to see a bit more in the way of support (such as a forum) however it's early days!
Only issue I've had is that the text only button opens in a window without scroll bars - but I'm sure that's just a minor tweak :)
Looking forward to seeing more developments!

I get the feeling I've only just scratched the surface with what this component can do - for me I need to be able to have an article show in more than one category.
What could be easier .. install the component, edit the article and on the rhs there is a new menu of "Sub Categories". Tick the box, et voila! All done!
Fab extension, hope it goes on to be developed!

I have to say I was a bit sceptical about using this component having already tried several others which, to be frank, just weren't user friendly or "quick" enough.
There are a few things you have to get used to with this - firstly how to construct the forms using the pages, and secondly how to use the "drag" feature.
There are bugs like when you drag the menus they don't always move properly, and dragging the elements is sometimes a bit glitchy but once you get past this, it's a very powerful system.
Support is absolutely first class, I have had a few issues (where admittedly the answer was in the manual which like many I didn't read fully!) and had a reply within a couple of hours.
This is definitely one to watch - if the little niggles are ironed out I'll be using it on all my sites, for sure!

This addon for Virtuemart does so many things, it's a very powerful tool.
The need to export from VM in Excel format (e.g. CSV files) is central to so many business functions, whether it be for accounting, business intelligence, stock control, etc.
I'm astounded that VM haven't put more into developing this side of the extension, but RolandD has done an excellent job. He responds to questions very promptly and is frank and honest about what is being developed, what bugs exist and how long it'll take to get things fixed.
All together, this is an excellent addon which is being actively developed! It has huge potential and I'll certainly be using it a lot!

Brilliant module, does just what I wanted, although I tried searching for ages with no joy as I was looking for "add to favourites" - might want to add this to the search terms?
Works fine in firefox & IE

Just what I needed - I was going to write this module and thought I'd have a quick check to see if anyone else had already done so!
After a bit of tweaking I managed to add in Tel: and Email: which were not present, and with the instructions for adding CSS styles was able to customise to the site.
Thank you, saved me a lot of work!

Absolutely excellent component, works perfectly on my site demonstrating portfolios. Also unable to get the zoom working but not a big problem.
Shame that you don't offer payment by paypal as not everyone outside the USA has a Visa or Mastercard :P

I really like this - it does what I struggled to get docman doing ... creating private folders for each client registered via community builder.
Only problem I had is clicking on "configuration" broke it, so I had to reinstall.
Also, when I upload files, the filenames seem to be called "." and ".." "..." etc. Not entirely sure why this is happening but it's a bit problematic when trying to remember which file is which. Might have missed something but given the problem with the configuration I'm hesitant to poke around too much!
Would also be great to have some way of changing the default save dir to something unique (e.g. "fileuploads") rather than "espacePrive".
Support forums would be extremely helpful (in english if possible!) to enable discussion of problems/fixes/etc.
Otherwise, very promising if the language & bugs issues get fixed!
