The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

The one thing I'm always trying to do is optimize site speed to help with Google SEO rankings. I decided to look into this optimizer to see if it would help. What I found out is this plugin links to the Web Optimizer website and you need to buy a minimal plan for $99 for this to not work in demo mode.

I just purchased this today for a client and it made importing products and categories a breeze. Definitely worth the money. I had some post install challenges and the dev was promptly responsive and very helpful in getting my problem solved which had nothing to do with the product itself.

This is where the GSOC is paying dividends just like with the Front End Editing component! Excellent tool for site developers or production sites allowing you to run a second copy, do what you want to it (testing) and then roll that change up to the master site for production.

Keep up the awesome work on this component.

Finally, a recognized Joomla developer has picked this great product Docman, and breathed new life in it. We use this on several projects and look forward to the continued development of this awesome piece of software. We're purchasers of Artio JomSef3 and the support has been great.

We are looking into implementing this for our packaged Joomla solutions for small businesses. This is a HUGE advancement for easing the use of Joomla! The backend and terms used by Joomla tend to confuse the less savvy users out there and this is a big help in lowering our support costs.

Please keep up the great work on this component. I would hope to see "menu item editing/adding" included one day. That addition would be huge so that we can just about block the need for logging into the admin console!

I have been waiting a long time for a simple "Login via Facebook" addon to happen and it has. This works great and right out of the box.

Thanks for the great mod!

I have been looking for a module which allows users to edit the HTML/WYSIWYG in the frontend for a long time. This allows users edit the content from the frontend because a lot of them get lost and confused when having to use the backend to do this.

Thanks for this module!

If I had a way to replace all the core Joomla 1.5 functions with this I would do it. Awesome content management system...

What would make this even better is if we had an admin template which was K2 aware and would allow you to select K2 functions to replace the core Joomla content functions. That would be way cool!

I just installed this on a client site and it did exactly what I was hoping. Worked out of the box. Thank you to the developer of this module.

I have been looking for a module to do (other module) popups for a long time and this one worked right out of the box without plugins, etc. I needed something to show the Community Builder login in a popup and this did the trick.

Nice job.

I purchased Joomsocial Pro back when it was first released to see if it would work for a company intranet site I was building. I haven't used it yet because I'm waiting on the right project to come along before committing the license since it's tied to a single server.

While this component has great potential, it still lacks greatly when it comes to plugins and community support compared to Community Builder.

For the Intranet project we were hidred to build, we used CB because JommSocial Pro hadn't been battle tested in a corporate environment and LDAP support is sketchy at best. That didn't worry me as much as not having the Lists feature that CB has. Without lists, there is no way to create the equivalent of a company directory like we have done with CB without adding significant costs to the project.

Right now we see CB as the product of choice for internal company sites with heavy requirements and JSP for light weight social sites.

Upside:

I am confident this outlook (hopeful) will change over the next year and look forward to all products maturing. The cool thing about this space in Joomla is that competition is heating up!

We now have CB, Joomsocial, Joomunity and Jcommunity.. wow..

Let the best product(s) win!

This should be part of the Joomla core! This save a lot of page refreshing when working in the backend.

After reviewing all the helpdesk components on JED, we purchased ProDesk because it has a lot of features that otherwise would take several components to accomplish. While digging into the code, we noticed that it's not a native Joomla app which doesn't concern us that much since it's well integrated with Joomla.

Being able to move a trouble ticket to a FAQ is a real plus so that your not always copying and pasting text to accomplish this. Another plus is that the system includes testimonials, announcements and archiving capabilities.

Overall, a good choice for a system which seems to have a comparable feature set to the Kayako support suite which is a bit pricey.

I have gone through a lot of galleries on Joomla looking for the right one. I tried to like Phoca but could never figure fully figure out the process for creating user uploads areas.

With Joomgallery, it was a breeze and now it even has Piclens support!

Keep up the great work!

Works as advertised. When you type a search phrase, view the HTML for the results page and you'll see the meta keywords.

I have used Acajoom Pro and other newsletter components for my clients and this one by far is the easiest to use. Everything worked out of the box and creating a newsletter to use as a template was a snap! Now all my clients need to do is copy the template with the copy function, edit and send. That easy.

To the author, thank you! One nice little enhancement would be for the subscribe module to have an unsubscribe button..

I just purchased this component and the first time my customer tried to use it, they couldn't. The reason is this product communicates with the IONO licensing server (which I suspected) and if the authors site is down (which it is right now), your gallery is offline.

Until this licensing server tie-in is removed, this product has a lot of risks for production servers. I know this author is fearful his software is going to be compromised but, putting legitimate customers site at risk of not working is a poor business decision. I would look at another solution if this is unacceptable to you.

I will have to start looking for another solution again and that's too bad since this plugin integrates so well with CB and has some good modules. Another upside to this product is the uploader, which is first class! I will also check on refunds.

What led me to figure this out is my customers site started getting the dreaded IE7 Cannot open site XXX errors. When I went into the component in the admin, I thought it was a corrupted key.php error so I deleted the key.php from the server as the instructions on the site says to do.

"Everytime you update your license key, or update your domain/IP, you may have to delete the key.php file to continue. key.php located in /components/com_simgallery/"

This is what I did and not I get the error:
SIMGallery License Error: Unable to communicate with iono (i.e. http://www.ionolicensing.com/). I verified this by digging into the server logs.

As of this writing, the authors server is still offline and so is my customers gallery.

Use this along with sh404Sef and you have full control over your site and page titles. I was having a real struggle with sh404sef (still in beta) and this plugin helped resurrect my site title which had disappeared which was killing my google ranking.

I tried it on one of the blog sites I frequent and nothing displays. After looking at the code, it looks like the author is hooking into Joomla RSS XML API's which many not work with RSS 2.0?

I used this to migrate a 1.0 site when the official migrator was causing SQL errors. GREAT JOB!
