The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I have been utilizing AutotweetNG Pro since its conception, and want to thank Ulli for this wonderful component.

Have a Facebook Fan Page? Personal Page? what have you - this component outputs the same "tweet" messages that is does to Twitter. Plans are in the roadmap to provide more detailed output to FB in the future, as there are fewer limitations than Twitter - Just an example of what you can expect from future updates from this great component, and great developer.

This component is very easy to install, update, and maintain - One look at the backend and you will realize the time and hard work that was put into it - Information section is VERY smart for keeping you up to date of the latest versions of the various plugins/components available.

I am using SH404, and Autotweet NG PRO has no problem integrating and working with it, at all.

Options allow you to pick manual or automatic tweeting/FB updates - Roadmap is to provide separate capabilities for both TW and FB instead of together every time.

Sometimes its the little things that matter - the work that has gone into the plugins is amazing - the configurability of details is fantastic!

This component is worth the 9.99 being charged for it, even if it only output to Twitter! And we all know that FB output is a must, so.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this great component - it's THE Social component for Joomla.

This is a must for any Joomla installation. The component speaks for itself.

Just wanted to comment that I think this is the best way to deal with any google crawl errors you may be having.

As well, for those interested, It took me a few minutes to figure out that when inserting the error url as an REDJ "item" (I was putting the full URL of the error url, and the redirection url and it simply was not working for me) - I needed to put (error url) /old/url/here.html instead of www.mysite.com/old/url/here.html and then the redirected URL as the full url - www.mysite.com/old/url/here.html - After that, this component worked like a charm

At any rate, my thanks to the developer for such a handy extension, I am well on my way to fixing my google errors at this point thanks to this.

This has got to be one of the, if not the best weather module available for Joomla - and I have tried allot at this point.

One of the biggest issues I have with weather modules, is data being accurate. Why bother putting the weather on your site if the data feed is always inaccurate?

This module lets you change the city and Celsius/F on the fly without reloading (AJAX)- for this reason alone, I have switched to it at this point. - If your site is not geared towards one specific area, its nice for your users to be able to change the city like this!

Thanks Ksou for this awesome piece of work.

I have to admit, this module caught my eye as far as looks, and I decided to have a look.

The instructions on the site indicate to drill down to your weather page - and look for: a url with the following format weather code: ASXX0075

Unfortunately, at least for Halifax Canada, the yahoo page does not indicate such a code. It would appear that Yahoo has taken steps to hide this code, perhaps after the author wrote the tutorial.

I am taking further marks from this module, because it uses a data feed thats in my opinion utterly useless.

-the weather data is based on the weather channel (weather.com) and I have found that (at least for Canadian cities) the weather couldn't be farther from what environment Canada reports (inaccurate) - always, so when I saw that yahoo was getting this feed themselves from weather.com, I knew I would not be utilizing this module on my site at that point regardless.

- Just a heads up for anyone that wants to use this on a Canadian site - weather data VERY inaccurate from weather.com!

Ulli has done a fabulous job implementing a system to automatically tweet various events from your joomla site to your twitter account.

I wanted to thank Ulli for taking the time to put this together, and, per my request, also taking the time to put together a plugin (SVN) for Eventlist - thats even Eventlist SVN compatible!

Support is great as well, my forum postings don't sit very long without a reply from the author!

If your thinking about a twitter solution for your joomla site, please take this for a ride, you will not be disappointed.

I have been using JComments for awhile now, and I can honestly say I believe it to be the BEST Joomla commmenting Component available.

Installation is a snap, plays well with other components like SOBI2 (they have a plugin for SOBI2) and Eventlist.

Permissions tab in settings is incredible for fine tuning, It has built in subscriptions and even allows for importing comments from other systems if your switching over.

The Module;

This would be 5 stars, if the ability for users to set their location permanently was implemented, as well as a way to ensure Celsius output all around in the frontend.

- Google uses Dependable, Accurate weather data - so this module is the only free solution out there, that uses data thats accurate at this point. I truly think that if you are going to post a weather widget on your page, you should be putting one with accurate data at the very least ;)

The plugin;

Great tool for your content, you can show the current weather for anywhere - from anywhere.

Believe me, I have tried them ALL. This one is by far the best plugin for addthis(and more) going!

I had an issue with the official addthis plugin appearing on component content pages, with no options to exclude anything...

-The MOST configurable
-No backlinks
-IT WORKS

This plugin would be great, except that it has no way to limit where it appears. Eventlist & Sobi are showing this plugin in their output (which subsuquently shows frontpage titles, not eventlist or sobi titles (doesn't work in those components even though its displayed), so its not limiting itself to article sections and categories (no way to control sections or categories either)

Man, some of the reviews here are hard to understand... are you people for real? one person posted that he never bothered asking for support, because of the posts here, and uninstalled? and that review made it through? lol is there another component's author at work here?

This is by far the best component for classified's that you will find for Joomla. The Forums are very active, with a wide variety of issues, and implementations covered. I can honestly say that any problems I have had (not many), I always found a solutions to, or had an answer provided.

I would suggest anyone turned off by some of the ridiculous negative comments here have a second look, the author is currently back and breathing new life into an already awesome component.

Thanks for this great piece of work Thomas.

Just getting into the RSS scene for my site and it did not take me long to find this little gem, and it was the FIRST RSS module I even looked at.

I wanted something to show photo's from a feed, as well as introtext, a one liner link just wasn't doing it... This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! tooltips hovers show the photo from the feed, if no photo, then introtext - if that wasn't enough, links open a lightbox effect with set size over your site for better retention.

I have played with this for only about 10 minutes, installed the module, threw in the rss link - realized my news sections will now rock.

If you utilize RSS news feeds on your site, this is MANDATORY.

I think this a fantastic module, don't get me wrong. The real issue for me is the quality of the data that the module gets its feed from. It seems to not be updated very often at all, for example it says its 15 degrees here, when its really 20. - Im not sure at this point, but think the temp and forcast is update only every 12 hours???

I guess my point is, why proudly display the current temperature and forecast, when its always wrong? - I have given this a week, and the data feed from source always seems to be WAY off.

Other than that, for a free module, its quick, simple, and to the point. - I took the time to edit the weather icons from 30,000K each down to 800K because I liked this so much. (40 or more icons) - You might want to do this, as I had 3 days of forecast displaying on the site, and noticed a 100K jump in the page size!

Thanks for the work on the nice module, I will be contacting regarding utilization of a different feed soon.

Really, this component rocks! when I read the other reviews here (pretty dissapointing that some people wrote support type reviews for issues I had seen in the forum), I felt I HAD to write one myself! Eventlist is FREE & Christopher Lukes has done a fantastic job with this component... I just noticed another component released on joomla extension that boasts that it has features that no other joomla calendar has... (for 59 euros!) Well, thats correct somewhat, at the moment.

I had a need for a calendar that had multiple categories incorperated into it and I'm sure I am not alone. I would suggest that those that are looking for this feature as well as a full page calendar, recurring events (that works!) and more..., look no further than this component! These features are currently in the developement build of eventlist (which has always been available to the public BTW - read the faqs!)

Hopefully more people will become involved with this new developement version and contribute to the community - I'm sure you will not be disapointed.

- Good luck to the other developers that want to charge for a component that does not even come close to this one.

My thanks again to Christopher Lukes and the developement team at Eventlist for spending their valuable time to provide a full featured calendar to us all, for free.
