The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Just wanted to say thank you for a free open source module that installed first time, looks the part and has no issues whatsoever on install. great job!

Looks fantastic and I think its the one for me to use..

I started to register and pay, but then had real issues and it is such a shame that the developer could not be bothered to add a proper payment registration process. As I have now cancelled my order because of it.

It clearly states that you get 30 days for free but it forces you to pay the seven euros before you can actually have the 30 days for free and even then you are not told how.

Then when you get the registration email you are then told to enter your country and it just gives two options... Switzerland and "extra Switzerland" No other countries... Just stupid.

There is also a section that you have to fill in for VAT code. Well a lot of businesses don't know the code so why force people to add it. Without it you cannot finish the payment process. Like many others they have given up and cancelled their order, like me!

I just think the developer did not care about this part of the order process and just threw anything in there.

Such a shame as I was ready to buy this for my website and send you recommendations.

I have to say that it is so nice to see a module that works straight out of the box and more importantly is FREE.

It is a shame that there are not more games like this as I would love to have a page on my site for a basic games section like Sudoku.

Thank you for adding this. Superstar! :-)

I would like to say thank you to the developer of this module as it is just fantastic. I was worried that when I installed it that I would have to do some programming to put a message in to make it work, but you don't and it works straight out of the box.

I'm very surprised that no-one else has made a note about the extension or a positive mention here as the module is brilliant and should have a lot more followers that just me.

You don't even have to register to use it which is even better and as a bonus the developer gives you choice whether to mention his work or not too.

Many developers put back links in, but I can not see any, so thank you.

It is always nice to find something that works very well without issues and having to register for support. Thanks for the PERFECT social media slide in Module. Superb work!

I like this component a lot, but then saw back links to it which I am not a fan of. Shame really as I would make a donation if this was not in it. Nice concept and I like the way in crawls and indexes and I especially like the way the component gives you 4 ways to save the file. Nice touch.

Installed First time and is now on several of my client websites. Have a virtual beer on me. thanks for this great service.

Simple to install. Once the sitemap was created, I copied the link to the sitemap as have other people and pasted it into Google's webmaster tools/Sitemap and Registry and it worked perfectly. I also added it to Google Analytics for the process and that worked as well.

Make sure you do get XMAP installed as Google then crawls your website faster than it would without it. As this helps the SEO for your site and helps the pages get indexed so much quicker.

I can see why the developer is not addressing the issues as it is a non-commercial version.

Saying that.. I would pay for a pro version if it worked on all platforms. It works flawlessly on 3.0 and 2.5 but 1.7 it crashes every time on every template. This is a real shame as 50% of my 200 client sites do not have XMAP and if it worked multi platform I would happily send a BEER keg. :-)

Thanks for this version, but please move forward with it as it could easily become one of the finest core joomla components built.

Super plugin and component.

I have to say this as the first person adding comments to this review. WOW and THANK YOU. Registration was fast, easy and classy. Download and install on J2.5 was perfect and I have it live on my business website right now. The only voiced opinion I would raise. Is that you have only allowed for 5 Social media slide-ins and it does not allow for more.

Yes most people use facebook, twitter, youtube, linked in and myspace, but others use many different social media groups and I think you will lose votes and positive comments due to this.

Overall it is a solid module and I wish you well with it as it is great, but could be better.

What I like about Template Plazza is that when they develop something it not only works, but works very well. The banner is perfect for all my needs and I can't wait for them to bring out new stuff. It is a very exciting time for Joomla developers.

Thanks for making it cost effective for me to buy, test and use it.

Overview: This is "now" one of my favourite components on Joomla. It has been developed and coded well, and still has room for even more development.

I may buy the PRO version later on, which is also cheap at £34 but for now the non-commercial one is fantastic.

The component needs some minor upgrades that require coding but the overall project is VERY CLEVER and INTUITIVE.

Functionality: Easy to install for 2.5 with swift precision and styling for the Control Panel. Everything has been well thought out for the layout, buttons and Agendas.

The Newsletter is to me an added bonus. I was going to use another newsletter component and bolt it onto the website for customers, but this does that as well - Just awesome.

I especially like that you do not have to provide a full registration on your website for the non commercial one and downloading it is very simple.

You have added a video in the Joomla admin section on how to use it. This is a fantastic addition. It is a shame that other developers are not as future proof as yourself.

Great job. Simply the best component for Event Management.

What a superb and special component.

I was about to go to bed with a heavy head. As I have been searching for a cheap banner rotation management system for awhile now and this pops up.

This is a wonderful, easy and intuitive system to use. For the cost of it. It's ACE.

You should give yourself a pat on the back for the development and creation of this. As you have done us proud.

If you are looking for simplicity and an ultra friendly installation. Then this is the one.

I especially like the ability to change the rotation from flash to basic rotations. So that it works on iphones ETC.

Nice job guys. Keep up the good work.

This is why I adore JOOMLA and everything about it. Developers are happy to create superb components and modules at no charge. The true ethos of open source. I will be making a donation on your website. Thank you 100 times for this lovely banner. Good job and well done.

Hi, I just want to say thank you for developing this as it installed first time on J2.5 and works perfectly. You have done a great job, WOW... thanks.

Functionality: Loads first time for 2.5 and no issues. PERFECT.

If you were able to remove the the text you have added in the Weather Condition: KWEATHER_LIGHT_SNOW

You would get more comments and more people downloading it and giving donations. I would if it was removed on the next upgrade.

Good job though, it looks and works perfectly other than this small blip.

I personally do all the SEO on my client websites, but it takes a lot of time and to find something that makes my life easier is always a good thing.

Functionality: Perfect, wouldn't change a thing, loaded on 2.5 first time and has already picked up some missing meta data which is great.

Price: Overpriced in my opinion. If it was $39.99 I would consider it, but £49.99 for the PRO version is steep.

Styling: Perfect! Great layout and forward thinking development.

Keep up the good work.

Personal Comments: Impressive Component from Skyline but needs major work to become one of the best components available for 2.5. It could,and I hope it does! As I really like it.

Price: As a Commercial extension, I believe it is a GOOD value.

Functionality: Really fast install on the component no issues at all and a nice and a straight forward approach. The layout looks simple and clean and is easy to use for any level of website user.

Commercial Value: It needs major development to make it so much better, which is why it only has has a few feedback comments on Joomla from March 2012.

1. Colour Styling
The admin section does not allow you to colour code the new testimonials, this is poor.

2. Editor
There is no editor available to allow you to bold the text, or do italics to make the text stand out. You cannot even space out the comments that people leave. For example, if they leave a large testimonial and want to space out a few paragraphs. They cannot, it is just all bunched together, this is just stupid.

3. Image Attachments
Unable to add a client logo or photo of them. So each testimonial just looks plain, boring and uninteresting.

Also, after reading the comments from one of the submitted views. It had said that the developer was sent a message asking for text add ons and colour changes. Which was done on his component, so why was this not rolled out as a development upgrade when it clearly needs it.

This component is good don't get me wrong, but it needs major work to be wonderful.

This is a great PLUGIN and works perfectly every time.

thanks

I am very busy running a marketing company, and don't have time to do reviews hardly ever.... but I have to give these guys a standing ovation for their product and customer service which has been out of this world.

I purchased a slideshow a year ago and the support was very slow. This has now completely changed and this is a very positive step in the company's evolution.

The Component purchased was very simple to install, and it was a joy to be able to get a response from their technical team within minutes and not days, like other developers.

If you are looking for a component gallery that is totally inspired and simple to use, which allows you to look totally professional and offers "you" the customer, a first class service. Stop thinking about buying it, and start doing it.


Thank you

thank you, thank you, works perfectly.

So nice to find things on Joomla that are the best in the world, good work.
