This component rocks! I used previous version and was pretty happy with J1.5, but now it got even better. No problems with installation, easy to use (deid not have to read manual or anything). I just say BIG THANK YOU to the authors! Great Job!

If this plugin works 100% of the time I would give it 5 stars. Unfortunately out of 5 sites that I used it, on 2 sites it simply crashed. One site. displays TAGS but no links to audio files. Suppoer for this plugin is poor. I have sent 2 messages to the developers but gaven't got a response at all. The problem is that I cannot even remove the plugin as it doesn't show up on the list. I suspect I can remove some php files and make some manual changes in the database, then reinstall it, but can't get contact from developers to find out exactly what the manual procedure should do.

Seems like this extansion could do a lot but let me point things I dislike and hopefully will be improved:
- doumentation is rather poor (and since this tool is quite complex it is a must)
- video tutorials without voice narration are useless (as they are to fast, the screen resolution is sometimes to low to figure out whet the presented did)
- altough it is french product, I would say that English is international dialog language and all documentations, videos, tools, etc should be maintain in English only
- uninstalling CCk is a big problem, becasue it doesn't uninstall properly, so uless you really know what are you doing you better forget uninstalling it manuall or you might crash your site completely. the best method is to make a full backup before you install it.
- operating the tool and comonents is not very intuitive
- exiting/creating new articles ald fashion way requires every time unchecking a little check mark on the top of the admin page (which drives me nuts!)

The positive aspect is that this tool seem to be well integrated with the whole Joomla framework, but the learning curve is pretty steep and long.
What I miss the most is tutorials, good documentation, and well prepared videos.

This extension is simply great. Works fast, easy to use, probably no need to read the DOCs. It would be nice to have an option to remove BugTracker from the template...
THANK YOU FOR GREAT PRODUCT!

Whatever Download
This extension worked for me for few days then stopped working. I removed the plugin, reinstalled it, but it did not help. also there is a problem with the format of presenting information, as you have to manually change CSS if you for example want to show a background other than white. another words - this component should read the site document setting.
Owner's reply

The Fact that it worked for you a few days ago says that its no bug of the plugin, i think its caused by you and/or your webserver. You're free to ask in the Joomlaportal Thread. Most common problem is inserting the plugin-code into your wysiwyg editor. Some of them are converting parts of the code to "html-friendly phrases" - but thats the problem, the plugin cant replace such phrases by the Download-Buttons.

You can check your original HTML-Code with an extension like Firebug or just viewing the Source Code of your page.

Whatever download wasnt developed "for the community", i developed it for my personal usage and then shared it with the community - so whatever download is provided as it is, you are free to change the code, css, images, and so on - but i'll not extend the plugin to work on every site - on every background-colors.

Rating an extension with 1/5 stars without asking the dev for help is unfair i think, but ok, its your opinion.

It seems to be a good extension, but after installing I lokked up developer website, hoping to learn how to set it up. Unfortunately the video presented is really bad. Quality is poor, no audio and all screens are (italian I guess), which makes this help useless (at least for me). English isn't my native language, but I would really appreciate if people - developers and those who make tutorials understand that in the internet era, English is a basic communication language. Another words I would like to see some DOCs or video in English - period! (even if your english is not perfect, it would be better than silence)
Owner's reply

I'm Sorry for my English, now i write only in italian on my site and then it will be google transalte to do the rest on every language, not only English. I'm uploading the new videos with new label in english because with the new version 1.5.0 there are new important features also on the interface.
However I suggest to not vote my component if you don't understand how it runs. The vote is on the software not on the documentation. Thanks

The plugin is working but has some bugs, which hopefully will be fixed soon. This plugin has messed up with my site. Errors while opening some pages (i.e. CONTACTS), also my template setting got messed up after activating, showing ugly large fonts on some pages.
Owner's reply

There will be no such issues if you have gone through the documentation well espescially FAQs section.

I mean the issues you reported are not issues of my plugin.This is misconception for you as you are technically naive about joomla and still didnt read the documentation.

Excellent, fast tool to create simple (usually one table) forms and lists. I registered and paid an annual fee, but haven't gained really much (except few plugins). there are still quite serious bugs in the component and those need to be fixed first before adding new features. support is not bad, but could be better. I would even pay extra buck is I could only know this component is free from major bugs and there is more examples how to do things. This product though could be one of the best development components for Joomla when finished, but after 2 years of using it, I can say it is still in the preschool stage.
Owner's reply

Hi, can you report any bugs found in the forum please, we do fix things when reported and I'm not aware of anything seriously wrong at the moment!

Cheers

Easy Joomla Paypal
Everything works great, and it is very easy to install and configure. There is one problem with internationalization. I had a problem changing default message: "enter amount" to another language. If this is fixed/implemented it would be the easiest and the best PayPal donation/payment module.

Show Me The Positions
Great plugin, except sometimes some of the lavels overlap making it hard to read. I would probably also ask developer to make font colors adjustable so when necessary I could manipulate the color and size to make it more readable. Otherwise it works excelent. I reccomend it.

SpambotCheck
This extension works, with basic Joomla setup, it doesn't work however with CBuilder, and worst of all I was not able to get rid of it. When I disable it, it still shows up on my login page, and when I removed the extenstion my whoe site crashed. I'm not sure how the code is linked to the database and the Joomla core, but at this point it drives me nuts because I do not want it and I do not need it and I cannot remove it without consequences. It doesnt also offer any way for trsnslating the screen prompts to another language.
Owner's reply

I'm sad for your trouble but without further information about your Joomla configuration
I cannot decide, whether your problems really originate from this extension. You can contact us at contact@vi-solutions.de. I tested install, uninstall and disable, extensively and they work fine with Joomla 1.5.x (including many third party extensions).

When you install the plugin the following things happen.
- It adds a recordset in the jos_plugins table of your database (name = User - SpambotCheck).

- It adds the plugin-files spambotcheck.php and spambotcheck.xml and the plugin-folder SpambotCheck in plugins/user in the filesystem of your joomla-installation.

- It adds the language-files en-GB.plg_user_spambotcheck.ini to the folder administrator\language\en-GB and (de-DE.plg_user_spambotcheck.ini in administrator\language\de-DE in case you have german language installed).

- In case you enabled the plugin-parameter "Log Spambot to DB", there will be a table jos_rk_spambot_attempts in your database. This table will only be created, if there have already been any spambot attacks.

You can get rid of the plugin when you delete these files and the recordset in jos_plugins (not very elegant I know, but it should at least be a fast solution of your problem).

Plugin screen prompt is part of the language-files. It's the 'USER_LOGIN_SPAM_TXT'.

CFBlockCountry
Great idea, but,...
Installed locally on my XAMPP server and it is not working (popuing up an error). also it would be nice to attach a country code list to the extension.
