Core Login Redirect
I have a site that uses a 3rd party sign up form. After months of dealing with spambot registrations that sneaked in the back-door, I found and installed this plugin (installed and setup in about 5 minutes). Two days ago I had almost 100 blocked spambot registrations (blocked by a plugin I had installed). Today - nothing. Not. One. Spambot. Registration. And no back-door registrations. How awesome is that!
Coupon
Although Coupon Manager has many features that promised to be what we wanted, I am constantly beset with poor coding, and coding that appears to be left over from Joomla 1.6. For example, there is no ACL in the registration process. I get hiccups and gliches and javascrip alerts that say "error", even when I check things on their demo site, their coding for locating a store on a map wasn't working, so they switched the lat-long to make it work, which made the locations wrong for their google map module. When I submit a ticket it may be days (or more often never) before I hear from them. Their demo site, which is what they package up and provide as an installation package, is based on Joomla! v2.5.4. I have asked repeatedly if I can upgrade safetly to 2.5.6 (at least - they've told me not to upgrade to 2.5.9), and I have not received any response. Their template, which is suppose to be mobile ready, is not responsive and seems to rely on older coding.

I will never purchase a product from Joomla6Teen again.
Owner's reply

Apologies. I know it's you, Sue. There have had been those problems you mentioned in your review. But they all have been fixed in the latest version v2.0.8. Hope this cools you down. We're just redoing our focus on our most-loved products and continuously hiring more and more Developers to help us with our new releases. We're aware of how bad it feels to have a product which over promises and under delivers. We dont want to be known as such a product company. That's why we are now releasing new versions of all of our products. Some products have their new versions out and some will have theirs soon. Coupon Manager's new version is out. Just so you know.

Akeeba Subscriptions
It took me a little while to find all the features that I needed, but everything was there, including integration with Joomla's usergroups, the ability to upgrade members, and adding custom fields for special purposes. All this AND great documentation. And, it is free. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Akeeba!

Attachments
I've used Attachments on a couple of complicated sites, and it just works. It's a real pleasure to use a component that does exactly what it says it does.

SpambotCheck
I was getting spambot registrations at the rate of at least one per hour, and was having to continually monitor my site and delete them as soon as they appeared. I had recaptcha and opt-in email enabled for registration, but apparently they found a way past the controller. Anyway - I installed spambotcheck, and it is handling the spambots like a pro. I set it to registration only, and only check the IP. I've doubled checked several of the IP blocked, and they all have been from strange locations and are on spambot lists. Thanks for a great plugin!

nZambi Latest Posts
Love this module! I was asked to provide a list of the latest posts on a sidebar, and NZAMBI's Latest Posts is very easy to install and use, works well, and has nice modern behaviors (sliding windows). Very nice!
