The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is an excellent slideshow module that works like a charm. I use a number of these type plugins and this one is by far the clearest, easiest and most reliable. Better yet, it's 2.5 compatible now. It's easy to have some great eye candy in a module now and it has made one site really pop. Get it. Use it. You'll love it.

I've been using the commercial version for several years on all my sites, client and personal. It's super reliable, easy to use, bulletproof and best of all... comes with exemplary support. I can't tell you how great it is when you are stumped (usually something simple you forgot or simply got wrong) to ask for the developer's help and overnight or faster, get it not just resolved but, even have your mistake fixed by them.
Maybe there is something this can't do but I haven't run into it. Only suggestion would be for the developer to set up a way to let people contribute their JS extensions and other code to check field values, etc.

Regardless, JS is my first choice for this and other solutions... then I go looking eleswhere. Highly recommended.

Finally, a plugin that worked out of the box, simply and elegantly creating Excel Workbooks and Pages. It made developing custom reports from our membership database a snap.

Get it, it's worth it and it works with the latest FF and IE, at least for me.

I hope the developer will come out with a 2.5 version soon, it's hard to think of converting without having it!

This is an outstanding membership and content control system. It's easy to implement and extremely well documented.

It's also got support that is truly as good as any you are likely to experience. Need to know something? Ask How Do I Get This to Do That? Need something special? Not only do you get an answer, often the same day but they'll explain exactly how to do what you need to do.

Have a problem or confused? They'll often fix the issue on your site if you want.

And the best part? No hands held out for exorbitant fees to get their component to work, unlike some I've dealt with.

Control of memberships, payment systems and there are plenty to select, and setup is easy.

Managing access to articles, components and menu items is as straight forward as it comes. You'll love it's simplicity.
The component has been updated so it's simple to install and has all the "pieces" loaded and ready to use.

Conversion was a snap, they make it sooooo easy to set up existing members and transfer over accounts. With integration to CB, it's seamless and simple to use either CB to set up memberships or OSE.

What I really like is their openness to suggested improvements and they are already working on the next release...

Cons? Well, not much, it takes working with to figure out some of the nuances of the way it handles presenting membership options but not bad, at some point, even their excellent documentation could not possibly cover every goofy thing we want to do with our memberships...

Having worked now with 4 major system, I can say this is the easiest to use and a great blend of capabilities. Well worth a solid look if you are replacing an old system or installing a new one.

I think you'll find it's a great solution that should handle all but the most convoluted requirements.

It is long past time someone did this for CB. This installed in a second, has 1.5 and 1.7 versions available and it worked instantly. No hassles or problems; worked on standard and user created CB fields with no problem.

The one thing you'll find you want immediately is the ability to have this plugin display more than one CB field.

Adding the ability to select different CB fields as needed would make this a CB Must Have.

Even with just one field, it's handy.

I use about 6 different slideshows, galleries and carousels but needed something that was elegant, crisp, and had an easy to load gallery from directory. This one did the job nicely and worked with zero hassle. Gave me a number of very useful transitions too... the Ken Burns effect can be pretty dramatic for some sites. Loaded even a large gallery of big images quickly. I recommend this one.

This makes managing your Google tracking using the asynch tracker a snap, took 2 minutes from download to tracking working on site. Thanks to all who made a simple plugin with just 3 instructions... download, install & activate, put in tracking code for your site.

I needed a replacement to solve the problem of articles becoming static and outdated using the core functionality. This did the job in about 2 minutes. Excellent and well done with great flexibility.
Only suggestion would be to provide a negative option for eliminating some section/categories e.g., -35,45 etc. I've got a few static sections I'd like to eliminate but a growing list of ones that need to be added continually... Even a range setting would work like 7-999 for example.
Maybe a new release for the future will make this an even more flexible solution. Great work.

Having used two others that didn't do the job well, I tried this and am delighted to say it is the most professional, flexible and easy to use one. Gave me huge flexibility and scope of social sites for my readers. This one truly delivers and is super easy to set up and use.
One enhancement would be a version you could add to a module with {} code or a module version.

This simple idea made styling an intractable menu item a snap. I see many uses for it and it installs easily, is super simple to use and does exactly what it says. A 'toolkit' must have.

This worked and had my Google analytics on my site in about 4 minutes start to finish thanks to the extraordinarily clear video and written instructions with --- amazing --- a real example of what it should look like. So many developers do great work but don't document or explain their plugins and leave live examples out. Congratulations for a job very well done.

This is a sleeper that has about everything you need to create a great gallery. I liked its flexibility of configuring the actual gallery and images right in an article, etc. Being able to include the actual titles and other features for photo competitions is more intuitive and easier than trying to use image title txt files.

It's easy to install and simple to use, once you master the simple syntax. One hint for you, here is how you put in an image title, maybe I missed it in the explanation but this will clear up that piece if you didn't get it the first time:
{besps_c}0|1st place birds ale aspy great egret at magnolia plantation1.jpg|1st place birds dale aspy great egret at magnolia plantation1|1st Place Birds - Dale Aspy - "Great Egret at Magnolia Plantataion"{/besps_c}

It works great and best of all, it's super easy to set up. The easiest install I've ever seen with and pre-configured right out of the box the way you likely want it. Even better, it has very clear explanations for each item. A dream plugin to use.
