Admin-User-Access (free)
Great freakin' work!! Can't believe my eyes and my Joomla!

Keep it under development!

It works fine and it's not very complicated!

A 5 star (C)(M)(P) .. I'll contribute with a Romanian translation!

Thanks!

A very good module and a very helpful one!

I, for one, have no complaints!

JCrawler
This seems like a very useful extension. I have only one problem / question.

Is it normal for my sitemap.xml to have just 7-8 URLs ? I mean, I have a lot of articles on my website but only a few URLs.

Music Collection
We all remember the MusicBox component I guess. Music Collection is far more better and has a lot of WORKING functions that MBox didn't.

Installs in a second and you can learn how to use it in two. So, you all are three seconds away from having a perfect music based web-site !

capDropper
It's a good start! I use it already!

May I give you some suggestions though ? :)

You can make the plug-in use some images. Web-fonts are scarce, you can only use ones that are 100% in the users PC to get the result you want.

If you could make it use uploaded images of A,B,C,D etc it would kill !

Anyway. Good work!

Thanks for the positive words! There already is a plugin using images, mfDropCaps. The idea here was to have full css liberty and convenience, and to choose if dropcaps should be shown in overview pages.

If you look at my page, you'll see that the 5 stars rated extensions are very scarce.

Many times over I avoided using JForms. I don't know why. Today I decided to try it and remained stunned !

A clean and professional component. It is very useful! It covered 8 of my problems!

THANK YOU !

JFusion  -> Universal User Integration
I usually do not rate Excellent, but really this one deserves it.

Before JFusion, I tried 2 or 3 extensions. I don't want to nominate them now.

So, finally I got over this one. At first I thought it was a complicated and painful process. I went on reading the documentation. It was all clear from the first lecture, and decided to try it.

I have tried it on two phpBB3 forums : one with 2000 users and one with ~3000 users. It worked. No bugs in the sync process as I expected.

It was a little hard to visual integrate the forum in my website.. but with the great support on the forum I've managed to merge the two user databases and also visual integrate Joomla! with phpBB3.

I was really amazed! I advice all of those who want to synchronize phpBB users with Joomla! users, to give this one a try.

I don't know if JFusion works that well with VBulletin or other boards, but from my point of view it deserves 6 / 5 stars rating.

Cheers, and thank you for this one!

Simple Image Gallery
It is my pleasure to rate and review this incredible plug-in.

I have to tell you that I have tried all the extensions in the gallery, before using Simple Image Gallery.

They all were buggy, did not install correctly, impossible to customize and so on.

I'm pleased to have this plug-in on my site. It is so simple to install, configure .. and to post galleries with it.

THANK YOU!

I have been using this component for a year now and I've never had any problems with it. Nor me, nor my users.

It can be fully customized, it is easy to install and configure and it works flawlessly!

It also can be used for a lot of things. I for one have been using it to review new metal albums on my webzine.

The only bugs you're going to find in this component will be the ones that you create yourself.

Cheers! .. and thanks for this marvelous piece of software!

yvComment
Hi!

I am awful disappointed in this component.

First of all, it needs three archives to work (com,plg,mod).
If it takes all of three things to work, why not make them install automatically?

I'm not happy with how the component needs a section/category to work.

The plug-in and module, each have a ton of configuration that blows you out of track.

Reading the documentation is like reading Karl Marx. (a novel full of information with little chance of gettin' it right for the first time )

I, personally get the "Section is not set. Please configure Section for yvComments" info-box, everywhere in the backend, although I have set one.

I have done every step by the book, and still it does not work.

It may work, it may be good, it may be clean.. but not for me it isn't. (And I am not really a newbie in Joomla! )

I rated it 2 stars just in case it's my mistake!

One thing it's sure. The install/configure process is painful.
Owner's reply

Hi, Vampy!
Of cause, you're not the one, who don't get, why there are so many configuration options in yvComment, just like there is a lot of users, who ask for MORE options and more modules for yvComment...
And I agree with you, that reading (and trying to understand) long documents and searching support forum is not for everybody.
In order to skip this boring steps you may try something like 'Intellispire Software Installer - com_updater', that advertises ability to "install a variety of Joomla! software with just a single click" (that one has free version...).

Latest News with Mootools Accordian
Hey, what happened? This should be on top of the Latest News extension list.

Maybe with a little improvement it'll be. This is a clean-does-what-it-says module.

Thank you!

(It's worth a "Good" rating but I'll give it an "Excellent" for encouragement)

Cheers!

Romanian - Translations for Joomla!
It's ok, it could have been better and also it could have been a lot worse.

I've made it a 5 star translation by changing it a little to better suit my needs.

JEvents
Ok, so here it is:

5 stars for the component. It is simply great and the fact that it's free makes it better!

0 stars for the support in the forums. NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER!

(5+0)/ 2= 2,5 ~ 3

3 star rating from me.

Modal Popups
I've been looking for this one for ages.

I came across only over infobubble-like or onloadpopup-like plugins, and none of them helped me in my work.. and was amazed when I found this one.

I'm beginning to wonder if you made it for me.. hehe. :)

It is perfect, just perfect.

Best regards !!
