I took a chance on this software. It is perfect, and perfectly solved everything I needed. The support is also incredible. From pre-sales questions, to post-install customization requests; A+++ Support.
2 negatives which I think adversely affect the product however: after purchase of software, author tags have to be manually removed (there shouldn't be author back-links in commercial software in my opinion). And also the author attempts to sell the product as a re-occurring yearly subscription, which is somewhat mis-leading, and I almost didn't buy the product because of this. After poking around in the fine details, I found that you can cancel the subscription, and it's not required.
Overall rating for me is 4.8 out of 5!! Thanks!
It installs easily, and there was great set-up documentation at the developer site to make sure it would configure properly to my PayPal account.
I do wish there was a way to reset the download counter on the back-end without deleting the download, and reloading it. Maybe something for the wish-list??
Thanks!
Thanks for the "super" review. It means a lot to me. I am happy to read that you are enjoying the Nice PayPal Downloads extension.
I just wanted to pop in and let you know that you can reset the download counter by clicking into the download item details. At the bottom of the details form you will see a field labeled "hits." Simply set the value to 0 (zero) and click save. The download counter will be reset.

I had a little trouble getting it all going, but once I got all the setting correct for my desired functionality, it works beautifully!
Thanks for a very nice extension, and thank you for the non-commercial price of $0.
But....people....This still doesn't stop someone from disabling javascript and reloading page which brings back the right click abilities. Also, there is no way to disable print-screen. So anyone will a little computer skills are still going to get their hands on your images. Watermarking the images are your next best defense.
It solved what my client was asking for however, so thanks!
The 1.6 download doesn't work at the developer site. After contacting the developer he sent me a new link to a beta version. It doesn't work either.
The documentation is terrible, and there are no clear guidelines for setting up this extension. I can't waste anymore time troubleshooting it and debugging it. I am going to search for a new option instead.
The perfect blend of functionality and useability, without over complicating the tool.
This was about the 8th Comment extension I tried and it's awesome!
It's FREE and contains no hidden back-links.
We need more Joomla! developers such as the people/person who created this extension. Thanks.
I do however wish you had a support forum and/or a tutorial video available for the slider. I can't figure out how to load the slider in the main content of the template. Instead I but it in the breadcrumbs position and it works perfect. However, should I ever need to use the breadcrumbs, I then won't be able to use the slider. Perhaps I missed something altogether.
Great job overall.
The Good: It seems to be a powerful extension. It preforms as described. I received a quick response on the forum to a specific issue.
The Bad: It's very expensive, almost $80 USD. This is not for beginners or even intermediate users, it has a steep learning curve. I would say I am a 6 out of 10 in terms of joomla skill level, and I found it somewhat difficult to get fully operational. After 10-12 hours of working with the extension and watching tutorial videos, it does perform as described.
I paid for the full version, and it has bugs. There is no support from the developers...I'm not sure they even check their own forum.
The extension is a 3 out of 10 for me.
Hello,
I didn't receive any support request from you. Please send me a mail to paidsystem @ joomprod dot com
Pros: Works really well, easy to use, nice functionality
Cons: Has some issues with Firefox
One suggestion would be to include a note with the installation reminding people to select the new editor under the Global Configuration. This tricked me, and it took a few searches to learn how to enable the editor within my site.
Thanks.
