Ultimate Content Display

Amazing flexibility

Ultimate Content Display
This module is amazing on how many different ways you can display content. Very, very flexible. I use it for showing a list of content in chronological order (for showing upcoming events), another for randomly showing the intro text of content each time that the page is refreshed, and yet another for showing YouTube videos with a "current" video along with a list of past videos. In other words, you can use this a million different ways on your website and can often combine several UCDs on the same pages for really cool ideas. The best display module out there!
pollXT

The best voting system out there

pollXT
This is the best "free" voting system for Joomla. Very flexible and easy to understand and lots of ways to show the poll results. The interface for entering survey question information is easy to follow, although a bit buggy. For instance, I can't create new survey question from scratch; I have to copy & edit existing ones. Other than that, pollXT works very well! Highly recommended.
JEvents

The best free calendar system for Joomla

JEvents
JEvents does just about everything that you need out of a free calendaring system for Joomla. The calendar is clean, colorful, and effective. Lots of addon modules for displaying event information, such as a mini calendar for the front page, a list of "upcoming events" for showing teaser dates, etc. Lots of flexibility in everything. My only gripe is that you can't easily link calendar event content with existing content pages, although there are workarounds. Also, it doesn't support e-mail reminders of upcoming events, which is sorely missed. Other than that, a fantastic calendar system!
Googlemaps Plugin
★★★★
The best google map system for Joomla
byTom Hammond, October 26, 2007
Googlemaps Plugin
I have tried all of the Google Maps extensions currently and this is the easiest to use. It does the job and does it well. Lots of easy-to-follow examples on the author's website. You can even do driving directions from the maps it generates. One small bug, though, where it does not display your map on content pages with a Read more... link and the map is on the second section of the content page. Other than that, highly recommended!
Owner's reply

Hello Tom,

Thanks for your review.

I've tested my plugin in Joomla 1.0.13 and Joomla 1.5 with the read more.. link and it works allright.

Can you please send me more information or example where it doesn't work?

Regards Mike

Nice, clean interface, does the job

eXtplorer
Very clean and high-tech interfaces, makes browsing the file structure of your site fun! The best file editor out there out of the current bunch. My only gripes is that you can't perform operations on multiple files at once, nor does the FTP "mode" work. But still a great way to access the innards of your site.
JCK Editor

The best Joomla! editor out there, and I have tried all of them

JCK Editor
FCKEditor is by far the best Joomla! content editor. Toolbar looks clean and has lots of editing features. What you see is really what you get, which isn't the case for most of the other free editors out there. Documentation is sparse, but the technical support is excellent. The only minor complaint is that the "insert picture" from browsing the server doesn't preview the pictures as you click on them. But other than that, I highly recommend this text editor to anyone!
Community Builder
★★★★★
The best addon for Joomla out of 2,200!

Community Builder
Community Builder is a must for any serious Joomla! designer. It expands the user database to include fields for anything and everything you can dream up. Many, many modules on this site are aware of CB and tie into it. Easy to setup and use.
Akeeba Backup
★★★★★
Does what it says
byTom Hammond, October 26, 2007
Akeeba Backup
JoomlaPack is very easy to use, easy to configure, performs backups without any problems. Backup files can be stored on the server or easily downloaded. Documentation is good, too. I haven't tried restoring a backup, but am confident it will work admirably.
