The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is simply the best out there. I've gotten the most positive feedback from end-users using this editor. The other editors out there are good as well but this one is just solid through and through with it's features and capabilities. Keep up the great work.

Overall well done. I've been looking for a photo gallery that is easy and quick to use front-end. Most of the features are very well done however the flow process of creating categories, subcategories and populating them with images becomes a tedious process with this approval process that you can't disable. Honestly, if the approval process wasn't there, I would be giving 5 stars and just repeating my utmost love for this extension. Although unfortunately, the approval or "authorization" just adds too much complexity to something so simple. It simply takes too much time and overhead from the end-user and administrator's point of view to populate galleries produced by this extension with images. Below are a couple examples:

The upload feature itself is nice and easy to use, however the approval process after you upload the images is nice if you need an approval process. If you don't need an approval process, it becomes very annoying to say the least. Basically everytime a new image, you need to click approve for each individual image that is uploaded. There should be an option to automatically approve every new image that's uploaded on the front end.

Simple things like creating new categories from the front-end are not easy to do, unless you have a Joomla Administrator on duty. Even for the administrator, it becomes a little tedious when you have to manually create a storage directory for each category. Automatically creating storage directories for new categories and sub categories is something that should be done by automatically.

Good job overall but the flow from an end-user and administrator's point of view is definitely lacking. Although keep up the good work, this is a very good photo gallery, allow the Joomla Administrator to disable the approval process and this will be a fantastic extension.

This is probably one of the more promising extensions in Joomla. For its been one of Joomla's biggest issues, which is custom content. With K2 you can generate pretty much any content you want in any fashion/shape/form.

While this is very easy for a Joomla Backend Administrator to use, there's really no use for most Joomla websites because it lacks front-end content submission - which is the biggest downside to it.

Most Joomla websites have multiple front-end users whom need to submit content from the front-end with ease. To make this a truly awesome extension, the following functionality would be great: Front-end content submission functionality and completely customized submission pages (Like ChronoForms).

Overall I think its a good extension. If you have a site that is maintained purely by Backend Administrators, this is a fantastic component, and I recommend everyone to use it because you can do anything backend!

After spending a couple hours in figuring out what does what, this component is truly awesome. Once one figures out how the interface works, its truly a powerful tool. If you are a developer and you want a quick and easy method of creating forms, then this is the tool! You have control over pretty much anything and can do pretty much anything, extremely customizable. If you are a novice web developer, then you dont need to know much to construct a form.

My hat is off to these developers. I have to create a lot of forms under a tight deadline and this tool saved me an all-nighter.

Although, I would make a suggestion. For when you add a form link in any of your menus, there should be some text boxes to allow one to add content to the form in the menu item creation component. I know you can add the HTML manually to the form, but often I am developing Joomla sites and then leaving maintenance to the user... they will struggle if they dont know joomla or web development for that matter.

This is an overall good extension to have if you have EventList and need a calendar view. It allows a user to view the calendar events by a calendar view. Although, as nice as the UI is with the base style sheets, its disappointing to know that it doesnt involve AJAX, where you can simply click the next month and it will just load, instead of the whole page reloading. That's the biggest complaint I have. It definitely is hindering and makes the calendar view less desirable to use for many users. But overall good extension!

Excellent job on the module/plugin! Overall its a solid extension. I was worried I would have to have coded an export myself, but luckily I searched and found your extension. Its a simple extension but if you have a website for an organization that needs to export event list data into a common file format, this is the extension for you! To me, it doesnt make much sense if you dont have this extension because it provides for so much use and empowers data integration.

Now... how about an ical import and HTML export that will fit to landscape and/or portrait layouts for 8 x 11.5. Only a suggestion :)

This is an excellent module. If one's website needs an events module, this is the one! Configuring the component and module takes no time at all. Although, wondering why the calendar module doesnt come with the installation. And User Access/Error handling needs to be added. Although a cool feature to add is event registration via email and just on the web (without joomla login) with captcha enabled.

This is a simple and straight to the point drop down menu system. Its very easy to rollout and customize between the CSS options and module parameters. I am very pleased with the results this drop down menu produced. Well done! This was much better than the other ones I tried!

I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to quickly add a customizable drop down menu to their websites.

Joomla's original editor kinda scared me. And knowing the website that I am currently developing is going to be used by absolute novice users, I knew the standard Joomla editor would confuse my end-users. I installed JoomlaFCK Editor and it truly does not disappoint. It even loads quicker, if you ask me. But the main point to make out of this is, end-users dont like web UI's. Especially now a days where every website (especially editors) has a different UI. It is best to bring in a simple and straight to the point UI. And on top of that, bring the user something they are familiar to. Like Office 03 and 07. The office 07 look is definitely easy to use. Even I found it much easier to use. There are also an assortment of advanced features.

Download this and upgrade your editor. You will not regret it!
