Zoom In
I looked for such thing for some time and was very excited with it but...
1) There is not enough of option, like lens size. You can edit it manually, at least.
2) Plugin works only with standard com_content. No effect in Flexicontent.
So, i was forced to search for plugin that works on Flexicontent this time.

It should work with Flexi content. probably a jquery conflict. We have updated with better jquery interaction and added a click or hover option as well as making it Joomla 3 ready.

DB Replacer
This tool is very useful to power administrators. With it you can easily replace something with something almost system wide. In example, you can fix broken static links on domain change.
That i dont like about it, is that as far this extension evolves, its actually becomes less and less feature complete - features previously available for free in 2.1 ("Where" option and regexp) was removed in later free version, moved to paid version. I appreciate developers hard working but i doubt this is right way.

Jtouch
Its really easy to install and pretty easy to set-up but...as it said in documentation, "recommended to disable cachingЭю In my situation disabling caching is not option, and in pair with JotCache this extension works poorly. Mobile detection simply not working, and dirty hack like binding template to menu items gives even more erratic behavior.
I see this extension pretty great, but it its not like it can be used in any situation

Phoca Guestbook
I using this extension for pretty long time. While it was on joomla 1.5 it was definitely not best, but it got much better with Joomla 2.5
I generally don't have problem with this extension at all except...SPAMMERS! Oh, i don't know how but they bypass reCaptcha and sending tons of spam...
I know it's not extension problem, but everyone who wants guestbook should be ready to deal with spam.

Hi, answered many times in forum and many times here (see below for more information about spam)

Every site which gets input from users and is known, it will get spam attacks (for example, I am solving now problems with over thousands attacks in few minutes on one server - no joomla, no phoca guesbook - easy html site with input :-( )

So protection against spam, attacks, etc. should be done mostly on server (e.g. with help of security modules on Apache, etc.) and needs to be checked regularly. :-( :-(

Zh YandexMap
Installed and worked as a charm.
I very glad that used it, but waiting for Api 2.0 support

This extention works great to show path for magazine, marks on city map and other means
Performance is optimal for Russia. since it use Yandex maps, for non-Russia GoogleMaps maybe better.

Config is little too complicated, maybe, for simple "find us on map" page it's overkill, but still - very powerful, lot of abilities and ways to configure.

Thanks.
The API v2 is coming soon.
I've done about 70%.
Just wait a little ;)
