Absolutely the easiest sitemap component I've ever used. The automatic submission to search engines is nice too, although time will tell how well that actually works.

I was skeptical because I couldn't read the download site (I don't speak Spanish) but because I already had a site running and didn't want to use the 1.0 component migrator, I decided to give it a try.

I was able to take the database from the old site, upload it through Cpanel on the hosting account backup screen, and have that database available to the component.

The install went well into my 1.5 site, and I configured the component with the user on my new (backed up) database.

This "old" database really was old. Mambo old. mos_ prefix old.

The import worked like a CHARM. I was so delighted, this saved me hours of direct database manipulation.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I need photo galleries that my end-users can use easily. I've tried them ALL for 1.0, literally, and have only found solutions that come close to what I want.

This gallery system is the closest yet. There is nothing added that you don't need, the interface is really easy to use and the output is clean and attractive out of the box.

I am very pleased, thank you for this extension!

I needed to put a map with several (ok, 30) different content items on a client's website. This extension made it fast and easy, PLUS I can teach the client how to do it for the future, because the syntax is easy to learn.

Thank you!

I think I see the problem with people who say "works great for backgrounds" conflicting with "I couldn't get it to work for backgrounds".

If I have an area that has a specific size (header) and the background image MATCHES that size and doesn't tile, it works. It will not repeat for me.

I've been using this module since it was posted here in the JED, and I am incredibly pleased. I wish it allowed flash files smaller than 500x500 ... you have to create them at 500x500 and they will *display* smaller, but anything smaller than 500x500 original file shows blank space for me.

Otherwise... super easy to use, and a beautiful effect.

Even the first version (which did not have a way to customize which games would be available and just had 5 classic arcade games) had my COMPETITORS playing games on my website and giving me traffic.

Now, with the customizable version I can provide games that are appropriate to the different sites I create.

It just keeps getting better!

Most web hosts work fine with the direct-install utilities, that download and unpack files remotely.

The one I'm working on right now? Nothing would complete! Every single auto-unpacker left the subdirectories empty. I don't know what specs the host has (it's for a charity who refuses to let me host their files for free because these jokers offered a long time ago... some people are set in their ways) ... but it won't set permissions on the fly unless directly contacted via FTP. Even the FTP method of Joomla! Downloader didn't work.

Frustrating to say the least.

JoomlaDesktop Installer Utility WORKED for me! Finally! Now I can help this client jump into the 21st century with a CMS... and more than a CMS... they can have JOOMLA!

It's a nice little component for displaying a simple portfolio. An image gallery works better for certain applications, but this no-frills approach is perfect for a few of my sites.

The CSS manipulation is cumbersome for those without a lot of CSS experience.

Fastest DHTML creation I've ever done. I've got intermediate CSS skills and I can manage certain DHTML solutions... but I find a lot of the menu extensions for Joomla to be too complex or confusing for me.

I was able to get swMenu working for me in MINUTES. I will be purchasing Pro for all my professional sites!

Just downloaded and put to use, and it will save me tons of time! Rich in features, handles multiple sites/users with ease.

Not much room for improvement!

I'm lazy, let's just put that right out there on the table. I hate assembling the XML file, and the free extension didn't work. Buying this kit was worth it just for that.

Yes, the individual buttons for the main positions can be gotten with Joomlasolutions (also free) but for some reason I really like this kit and don't mind using the two-button method.

I've made 5 or 6 templates "by hand" before getting the Media 65 kit, and I can say without a doubt that this kit is worth the money for anyone whose time is valuable.

The one thing that bothered me when listening to the video was the "joom mal" thing over and over and over again.

Brian please, remake the video and say it right. Please.

That said, the "convert images to CMS" and back to Dreamweaver features are awesome, and if you pair this kit with JSAS (Joomla Stand Alone Server) you can create really nice templates in no time.

It painsssssssssss me to pay money for an extension to put in a FREE CMS, but I think I made the right choice here.
