This component really offers a lot of options and many different functions. It works well and does everything it should.

Great extension for anyone accepting donations.

Attachments for Joomla!
This does exactly what I needed. I wanted to replace phoca download with something that my users could use with less hassle.

This works great for this. Easy to use and manage.

I ran into a problem and emailed the developer. He quickly jumped in and found the problem (an error on my part) and got things fixed. Fastest support I have seen so far.

Very simple to install and setup.

Had all the parameters that I needed such as position in the article, articles only. and the ability to add and remove different buttons for different networks.

Two thumbs up for sure!
Great extension! Easy to install, and get running within minutes.

As said before the downside is the iframes. If there were a way around it would be great.

Either way, this is the simplest and fastest way to get a wiki setup on your site. Great job!

I love the fact that this is so simple. Anyone can use this easily. Just install and enable and you are supporting Firefox. Very simple.

What I don't like about it are 2 things. One there is no option to hide the module for Firefox users. I worked around this by editing the .xml file and making the "msgalternative" default text blank. This allows me to use the Advanced Module Manager to hide the module when empty.

The other thing I don't like is this module uses the developers Firefox affiliate link without giving us the option to use our own link. I feel like the option should be there, and if it's not used it could default to the developers link.

I don't think it's a problem, and I do feel like the developer deserves the credit for helping people switch to Firefox. I use this module on a few sites and will be using it on more.

mod GetFirefox
Love it. So many people are afraid to switch because all they know is IE.

Like the other review, I wanted to see a Firefox logo. Simple to fix though.


Thanks a lot!

I looked into including the firefox logo, but according to the guidelines at: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/foundation/identity-guidelines/firefox.html, the logo can only be displayed on solid white or black background, no mid-tones or strongly colored backgrounds. Since I can't guarantee the style or color palette of the site it's installed on, I decided to leave it off. My guess is that a significant number of Joomla sites would probably have something other than pure black or white for the module background.

Once the extension is setup it works very well. It is flexible and is great for showing and collecting your testimonials.

Setting up the extension is somewhat more complicated than most.

Instead of just radio buttons to choose which options you want on or off, you have to edit the option and type true or false. This is not hard but is just a hassle.

One thing that stands out is that the images that are used to wrap quotes around each testimonial are gif images with a colored background instead of a transparent png. It's an easy edit but again, more hassle.

Hopefully it will be a bit easier to setup in the future, but overall it is a great extension!

Pro Sticky Message
This is a great module.

So many things you can do with it. From targeting guests to get them registered, to keeping your users informed, or just having fun. It can do whatever you need.

Support is amazing. Went beyond what I expected. Instead of just linking me to an article or guide, they took the time to do what needed to be done.

When I first came across this I figured I could just install it and figure it out on my own. I was wrong! Take the time to watch the tutorials, read the information and put some time into it.

Once you get into the flow you can do amazing things with this. It has made my life so much easier!

AcyMailing Starter
I have a lot of respect for this because they do not put any ads in the newsletter. I thought for sure any free component would have ads in it.

The setup was very straight forward and I had my first email out about 15 minutes after installation.

I will be upgrading to the paid version just to show support!

Redaction Utility
When I first found this and read through the instructions, I almost didn't install cause it looked too complicated.

Amazingly after reading the instructions a second time (just to be sure I understood everything), it worked right away.

I will be installing this on all my sites.

If you are having problems with this, keep this rule in mind: "RTFM"

Thanks.

There's a lot of power built into this extension. We did our best to make it as simple to use as we could without limiting the power.

To make it even easier, we're building a repository of rules on our forums at http://www.abivia.net/help/forums/forum?id=4. Check in there for help, or contribute a new rule and help others.
