AiDaNews2
I have tried umteen news extension and each one just doesn't give me what I'm looking for and at alst, not sure how I missed it, I found AidaNews2! At last my site has a small latest news feature which looks really god and was not difficult to install and configure.

Initially it looked rather daunting but I soon found my way around. Thanks for this, you guys have made a truly great extension which I will most certainly use very often.

Page Scroller
Ever since Joomla changed to 1.6 and now 1.7 I have not managed to have a decent scroll to the top icon but not found any.

At last this extension beautifully solves that problem. I really like the ideea that one can have either text or image. I prefer the image option and that I can use my own image is really great. Thanks a million guys.

CN Photos
I dug around for rather a long time trying many module image rotators but was not really happy until I found this extension. It is just that little more smart and looks really great.

I develop in Firefox and all was well until I tested in IE9 and Opera. In both the image got wrecked and enlarged until it filled the screen. I was very disappointed... but only for a little while. I dropped an email to the developer, Caleb, and within hours he had fixed the problem and this extension now looks great in all the browsers I tested: Firefox, IE7 & 9, Opera, Safari and Chrome.

AppointmentBookingPro
I cannot emphasis the quality of this product enough. The more I dig around in the Admin area the more I realise that the developers have really created something that not only does the job but it can be configured very easily to display exactly as you need.

Not only can you get the booking to show different categories, resources and services as well as user defined fields, but you can change the labels of these via the Admin panel. e.g. instead of calling the Resources that you can change them to be Venues or Facilities or whatever you need. Extremely flexible.

Thank you for this. I will certainly be using it often as I can see that I can integrate it into many of my sites. Hullo new revenue stream!!!
RSform Pro
I have been using ChronoForms for a few years and have got to know it very well but have just built a Joomla 1.6 site and found the new Chrono rather tricky and couldn't get it to work my way.

I read the RS FormsPro reviews and thought I would give it a shot. Initially I though that setting it up would take hours as I would have to learn everything from scratch but I must say that I found it all rather intuitive and got my form created in English and French without much hassle. It even has a feature to add the form straight to your menu or add it as a call into a content page. There are many more options but I didn't need them so didn't explore them.

Well done folk at RS I will certainly be using this component again.

ARI Sexy Lightbox
I have been looking for a lightbox that can display anything and at last I found ARI. My first use was for a form to display in a lightbox. The documentation didn't give me the option to click on an image and then have a lightbox open with a form.

After digging around the forum alittle I found the solution but the lightbox didn't close upon submision of the form. I posted a request on the forum and the ARI team soon emailed me the solution for my specific situation.

Well done and thanks for a great extension. It's not free but very worth the small cost.

FlexBanner
It is just great when your client asks you for something that seems impossible and then you dig around and find exactly what you are looking for.

I needed to have specific banners display on specific pages and this extension does exactly that. You can display specific to Section, Category or Article or even a blend of all three. Its just brilliant! Another happy client! :)
Simple Picture Slideshow
I absolutely love this plugin and now that you can have inline parameters it means you can use the plugin more than once.

It is very simple to setup and works brilliantly and what is really great, it doesn't eat up resources so your image start loading with the page and the slideshow starts immediately unlike a number of other slideshows.

Great work Andreas!!

Admin Tools
Akeeba Admin Tools should definitely be part of the Joomla Core! It gives one numerous must have security features and makes keeps Joomla updated literally as easy as clicking one button.

Opening Hours
This is a very simple yet effective module and adds a ordered touch to a website that has specific trading hours. It is very simple to use. It would be nice if I could choose to display the Organization Title or not. If I leave it blank it doesn't display but a gap is leaft in the module which doesn't look as clean as it could. All on a very neat and effective little module.
Owner's reply

I appreciate the review and I'm hoping the module will benefit you.

I like the idea of being able to hide the title. Looking at the time I have available, I'd say somewhere around 9 november an update will be available that will include this feature, along with some others that are planned.

Advanced Module Manager
All I can say is that I'm very sorry that this extension is 1) not part of the original Joomla install, and 2) I didn't find it long ago! I have been using a number of extension to accomplish various things and now that I have found this module I can do all without the need for adding numerous extensions.

Thank you very much. This is a brilliant addition!!

I have been adding this code manually to all my sites and am just thrilled to find it as a module and it works perfectly. Thank you very much.

Install, publish and it works!

Preachit!
I have been using SermonSpeaker for many months and was reasonably happy although I felt some features were a little cumbersome. I have now installed PreachIt and the installation and setup went very well and I'm seriously pleased with the result. Initially I didn't read the documentation and could get it to work but once read it was very simple.

Thanks for this very useful and easy to use extension.

AcyMailing Starter
I downloaded it a month or so ago and just didn't get around to using it but I have now set up a newsletter and mailed it to my relatively small database of just over 750 and it went flawlessly.

I have been using a program called MachMailer up until now and have consistantly had hassles with the number of emails I can send out at a time due to Service Provider restriction. For simply sending out a newsletter Acymailing was absolutely great. Simple to configure and the mailing went off without a hitch.

contactlink
This is a great little plugin. All your contacts are immediately linked to from anywhere in the content. Initially I was doing this all manually but now no longer.

Thank you very much!

Core Design Login As plugin
I spent about two hours going through login modules trying to find what I needed. I wanted to have just the words Login visible on the page and then when clicked to be taken to a login form.

This mod did the trick beautifully. Initially I didn't know that the Scripgator plugin was needed and this cause me much confusion but once installed it worked very well.

For me a nice to have would be the option of being able to change the word Login to something like Member Login.

All in all I am very pleased that I found this mod. I have asked about the changing of the word Login on the forum so I will waut to hear if there is a solution.

CH Spurgeon Morning & Evening
The simplicity of this component is great. Install, add to your menu and that's it. Works beautifully and adds a great dimension to any Christian website.

Thank you very much for this extension, much appreciated.

ccBoard
I have just installed ccBoard and am very impressed with it. I have only very recently started working with Joomla and this Component installed with ease, was very intuitive to configure and integrated completed with the rest of Joomla.

I have had a fair amount of experience with Simple Machines Forum (SMF) and was disappointed to find that the bridge was no longer available but when I installed ccBoard I found it to be far simpler to configure and is has all one needs for a fully functional Forum.

Way to go guys!
