The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.
