Zoo Links for Advanced Link
I would have rated this a 5 star but, after purchasing, the downloaded ZIP file confused me so, I'll explain how to REALLY install this ZOO addon for JCE.

After purchasing, you'll download a ZIP file called jce_advlink_zoo.zip. Don't try and install that into JCE, it won't work. You need to unzip this file. My suggestion to the dev was to simply rename it to jce_advlink_zoo_unzip.zip which makes more sense.

Once unzipped, you will have 2 ZIP files. They are jce_advlink_zoo_0.6_j15, and jce_advlink_zoo_0.7_j16. Now, most people who have been around Joomla for a while would assume the _j16 would be for Joomla 1.6; nope!

The jce_advlink_zoo_0.6_j15.zip is actually for JCE 1.5 installs and jce_advlink_zoo_0.7_j16.zip is for JCE 2.x installs (regardless of Joomla version).

I suggested renaming them to jce_advlink_zoo_0.6_jce15.zip and jce_advlink_zoo_0.7_jce20.zip which makes more sense. I would have never had to visit the forums for help if they were named something like this.

To the dev, good job and GREAT pricing but, please rename your ZIP files.
css2switch Basic
We followed all the directions for installing and configuring this component/plugin combo and could not get it to work period. The bigger challenge is there's little to no documentation on the product if you run into these challenges. We wanted to test this product via the Basic version before committing to the paid version. Glad we did.

Sorry that you didn't understand the simplicity of this component. Install with one click. Just put your additional css-files into yours template/css directory. Don't forget to give them filename the prefix template_.
Then go to the components backend and assign the css-files to the menuitems you like.
That's all, easy goin'. You need no luck, but a little bit intelligence.

More then 10.000 Joomla! Websites works with css2switch without any problems. If the component is to strong, you are to weak. Tell the community your problem in a usefull way, or post your problem at our first aid support forum. People like you does'nt think about how much work and sweat developers like us puts into their work.

Thanks and "good luck" to you,

Website ToDo
We develop a lot of websites and I have been waiting a LONG time for something like this! Thanks! This will become another standard install for our base system we use to rollout new sites.
Owner's reply

Thankyou for your Kind comment and rating. I've often found myself noticing things that need doing, and not having somewhere convenient to note them down. For the next release, I thought I would add the ability to add tasks to a whole page. Any comments or suggestions are greatfully received.

One Page Checkout for VirtueMart
I purchased this product for a client project and had some challenges with getting it working. After it was all said and done, it was some Javascript conflicts from our installation causing the problems. The support during this discovery process was great and we even provided a bug fix and suggestions which were then incorporated into this version.

Great product and company to work with!

Add user Frontend
We needed a component like this last year for a training site where managers could add students without having backend access. Bravo and thanks!

Ninjaboard
We have been testing NinjaBoard since the early days and it's shaping up nicely indeed. If your looking for an entry level, simple to use forum, you can go wrong with this one. If your looking for something a bit more serious but don't want to run a bridge to a forum like phpBB, then use Agora.

If NinjaBoard can add an image gallery tied to the post preview process, then I think they would move ahead of Kunena at that point. Right now, you have simple text and linking abilities.

Keep up the great work Ninja!

I have been waiting a couple of years for group permissions and now they are here in JDownloads 1.8.

KUDOS to the devs and thank you!

JCK Editor
We purchased a subscription to test the editor out to compare it with JCE. We really like the clean interface and speed of JCK Editor and the direction it's headed.

Pros:
Great editor with a full development team behind it with a good set of plugins.

Good plugin architecture for easily creating plugins.

Cons:
There's no layout editor for moving/removing buttons or a group personality editor like JCE (major problem for us).

Still lacking some direct plugins for other popular components.

Not as configurable as JCE.
Owner's reply

Thank you for your fair analyst. Our ‘component’ presently does lack some configurable options but all this will change because our editor is built upon a plug-n-play state-of-the-art JavaScript API engine. In fact everything you see is an app and therefore it can be configured and modified in any direction. When you look at what’s under the hood you will notice that JCE is like driving an old scooter while ours is fitted with a Twin-Turbo V8 Ferrari Enzo Engine.

Smart SEO
This is what's called user friendly!!

Way to go and keep up the great work on this killer SEO plugin. This is by far the easiest way to add needed meta data for websites. It would be even better if you could add JomSef, ACESef, sh404SEF, etc. compatibility so that if those SEF programs have meta data, you display their meta data and if the page doesn't, it embeds the meta data into their DB using your plugin. That would be a major win-win.

A HIGHLY recommended purchase IMHO.
Owner's reply

Hi

First of all i must say THANK YOU FOR THIS REVIEW!

About other SEF and SEO components such as:
JomSef, ACESef, sh404SEF
This plugin Should work fine with them.

if you set the metatags and title by JomSef, ACESef or sh404SEF then the Smart SEO do not delete them.
It will do so only if you edit the METATAGS of the selected page by Smart SEO.

Thank again!

JoomEdit
I have played with 100's, maybe a thousand or so addons and this one by far is the funnest one yet! I would highly recommend this mod to anyone want to "spice" up their site a bit without having to do a lot of programming.

KA Social Sharing
I just purchased this plugin to day and right out of the box, it didn't work correctly. After jumping on the developers forums, they quickly replied to the post and within an hour, they sent me a new version that fixed the problem!

That the same support level we provide our clients so, outstanding. I would recommend purchasing this plugin to anyone.

Mobile
This is by far the easiest product to use out of the box and the easiest to customize. Thank you for this great addon!

This will help modularize our older client sites for the mobile market with WAY less effort than some of the other tools in the JED.

myApi
I was one of the original testers and we have been using this great FB Connect app for months now and our visitors and clients love it. I would highly recommend you add this product to your Joomla site to make it easier for users to register and be automatically logged in on subsequent visits (if they are logged in to FB).

The forums are active and very helpful unlike other projects where questions tend to go unanswered.
AdminPraise Lite
At Web-JIVE, we build a lot of sites every year and we're about to do way more with a new offering we have coming out. The one thing we have always been concerned about with Joomla is keeping up with support and training. Admipraise Lite REALLY helped us with both.

What's helped us keep our support costs down, and training streamlined is the Adminpraise Lite template! It's now so much easier to train our clients to use Joomla because of the familiar "Tabbed" approach in the admin screens, instead of drop-downs.

You wouldn't believe how much of a difference this makes. You just say the word, Menus, and people know to click that tab. Articles, the same thing. Keep up the great work!

Advanced Module Manager
I would highly recommend that anyone needing advanced module control use this product. I would also ask that you support the developer by purchasing a license (even though it's not required) to help with development and support.

Broken image notifier
We're always receiving support tickets from our clients about broken image place holders in IE because they used the image manager to clean up image archives. This plugin will be very helpful so the system can send emails ahead of time that an article has a broken image in it now.

Thanks!!

AcyMailing Starter
We couldn't be more please with ACYMailing. This is a GREAT newsletter component if your looking for one. It's worth the money.

We're now recommending this software to all our clients who have newsletter capability. The integration features and configuration options are outstanding.

OSE Membership™
I have two subscriptions with OSE and they have awsome support and the products work as advertised. The one BIG thing missing with this component for me is the Authorize.net payment gateway. Right now, the only viable choice is Paypaly which is expensive compared to real merchant accounts.

If more payment gateways were added, this would be a rock star.

PHP Image Editor Lite Joomla
Excellent job on this. We just installed it for a customer and they love it. Now, if we could just get this as a JCE plugin, WOW!

pPGallery
I have one template that I have been struggling to get a plugin gallery to work on. I installed it and it worked perfect without any hassles!
