Agora

ACES

bySpringDay, September 24, 2009

I needed an integrated forum for Joomla that would allow me to keep all of the posts and information from a huge bridged phpbb3. I really checked out about every available option and settled on Agora. However, "settling" is a misnomer.
Agora not only gave me a seamless migration it also gave me full CB integration with a few clicks in the admin panel. Now I am a hero to a large section of members who had a hard time viewing a large and complex forum within a bridged wrapper.
Agora has got to be your choice if you are seeking a fully optioned and fully Joomla integrated forum.

Conv_Agora

Excellent

bySpringDay, September 24, 2009

The migration of my huge PHPBB3 to Agora 2.5 could not have been better. Simply perfect.
When I subsequently ran into a problem with their upgrade script for 2.5 to 3.0 their support forum was there with step by step assistance.
I highly recommend the Agora transfer scripts for any supported forum.

SimpleCaddy

Genius!

bySpringDay, January 25, 2009

Brilliantly genius in its simplicity. Perfect if you have very, very few items to sell. Just a bit more back end coding and I would use it. Suggestions:
1. Put a header panel in your backend admin for easier navigation (like most components have).
2. Make adding the product a one screen operation. ie. add article creation and image upload to the product admin screen. Currently you must go to SimpleCaddy admin and create product with name and item id. Then go to Section and Category admin and create some for the product if they do not already exist. Upload images to your article image directory. Then go write an article placing the SimpleCaddy plugin code referencing what you did in step one... It takes a LONG TIME to set up each product.

Phoca Gallery with Slideshow

Cute

bySpringDay, January 14, 2009

Cute little component but with no pagination and a clumsy upload procedure it is not practical for large galleries.

Owner's reply

Hi,

- there is a pagination (since the first version of Phoca Gallery)
- Upload procedure - standard upload in Multiple Add View, flash upload in Multiple Add View, standard upload in Add View, flash upload in Add View, Java upload will be implemented in next version. Upload works in frontend and in administration...

There is a special way how to quickly create your L A R G E gallery. Just create a folder structure on your PC (folders, subfolders, images), then upload this structure into your server (e.g. via FTP). Go to Multiple Add and with just one click, Phoca Gallery creates categories (from folders), subcategories (from subfolders without any limit) and thumbnails... Thousands of images in e.g. hundreds categories and subcategories per one click ... :-)

AdsManager: Classified Ads

Ho humm

bySpringDay, January 14, 2009

Not 1.5 native and you have to pay 50 Euros for very basic PayPal integration. Finally, the "JOOMPROD.COM" water mark on uploaded images is annoying and unprofessional. Should have automatic general category population function. Download should be marked COMMERCIAL up front. Disappointed.

Owner's reply

Hi,
There is no watermark. "Joomprod.com" on pictures is a basic text example set in the configuration, you can change the text by your own or remove text in configuration panel.
All features are present for free except payment. You have the possibility to write your own payment system for free.
