I think it would be helpful to clarify a bit what this plugin does: In a normal Joomla! installation, you can view your module positions by typing ?tp=1 at the end of your address. (I didn't know it until I tested this module thinking it would be doing something else.) When this plugin is enabled, it prevents anyone seeing the module positions (including the admin, btw). Don't really know why you wouldn't want to use this, apart from hiding which CMS system you're using, which is fair enough. I give it "good" instead of "excellent" because although it works, I don't find it a very useful plugin.

When I've been using CMS systems and forum systems and what ever ready made code, I've gotten used to accepting certain limitations and just decide that this or that can't be done. BUT. With SOBI 2, the limitations are minimal. I haven't even gone through all the available plugins yet, but while I already use it on 3 different sites - with completely different uses, Sobi works for all of them.
There are some features that are a bit complicated at first, like the templates, but when ever you add options and flexibility, you have to add a bit of complications to things and in the end you just love the complicated bits, because they allow you to do so much more than what you're used to.
Fantastic work.
The only thing; the English translation is a bit clumsy and could use some polishing up by a native speaker. (Which I'm not either.)

I don't know why it is, but this is one of the hardest-to-manage components or script packages of any kind that I've ever tried out. It simply isn't intuitive, at least not to me, and the documentation is useless. However, once you learn that you have to publish your main language twice - first normally through Article manager, then the second time as a copy of itself as a translation, it will start to make sense and show it's value.
I love the fact you can translate EVERYTHING on Joom!Fish, even those bits that seem completely useless to translate, like usernames. (No, I still don't know why you would want to, but I love the fact the option is there.)
It took me about 3 days of active use to figure this extension out, and I normally allow 15 minutes... However, it was worth the effort.

Dear Sebastyne,
Could you please get in touch with us e.g. using our forum. We are very interested in making Joom!Fish more intuitive to use. For this we need feedback of users.
Many thanks in advanced

This takes the grief out of translating the language files away... I HATE doing that, even though I don't mind the translating part as such, just fumbling around the code highlighting and replacing parts here and there is SO ANNOYING. This is exactly what I was after. Thank you!
I just installed this one to add some videos to my husbands site. This was not the most important thing on the to do list, so I wouldn't have wasted time to figure out how things work - didn't have to. Installed it and it was ready to roll, and now the video section looks like I had put a great effort into it to make it work!
This will be a great component for anyone who wants to have a video site, as said in the description sites can be built around this one component. I'm sorry I only have 2 thumbs to hold up for this one. ;)
