I used to be in love with this extension for a long time and used it for over a year till it gave me terrible responsiveness with the last upgrade.

Since moving to 1.2.12, 5 out 7 newsletters that I would send out in the week would have errant links, probably because of a lack of compatibility in the SEF.

Eagerly waiting for the next upgrade in the hope that the bugs would be fixed.

Have you documented these issues in the support forums? I've never heard a complaint about this from our user base. We'll be happy to look into any issues you may be having.

Hi,

I tried this extension and simply flipped for it. Was perfect in FF, which I know a lot of us use, but when I checked it in IE 6 and 7.

It seemed to conflict with other scripts running on the site.

I saw a query of the same in forum (which I could read but not respond to), but couldn't locate a free support registration, which kinda rendered the support useless. (Owners if I missed something pls drop me a line).

Would really like to use this extension.

Tweetme
I really like this plugin, and came to the directory looking for a twitter option and found this perfectly lightweight option.

However, it took me over an hour to configure to work perfectly for my requirements.

Here are my learning and suggestions:
1. It works excellently for articles. Would strongly recommend using it within.
2. I was unable to get it to come as a part of the title. It came only as a part of the intro text. Not sure whether the issue was my inability to figure it out or otherwise.
3. I was using Joomlaworks to call articles which had videos in module positions. If others are doing the same please exclude such articles immediately as they will throw your template out of whack.
4. Usage in sections and categories works, but did not sit well in my design as the tweet comes in the area where you mention what the section / category is about and has variable height issues. Also if u have left the section / category description blank, the tweet will not show.
5. The frontpage view also did not work for me.

That said, I still really like this extension, and look forward to future versions of it to make it more functional.

Great effort, and thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to review. The plugin used to have a simple one step configuration, however users made many requests to be able to exclude sections, categories, individual articles etc, so these options were added recently, so if you leave everything at default it will shown everywhere in normal Joomla output in all possible layouts.

I have not tested this with third party content type extensions, The position of the buttun can be adjusted from the plugin parameters. Try our support forum for more help.

Honestly I love VM, and spending time configuring it and so on...it would be nice if the documentation was improved and even better if someone really cared about the users in the forum.

Guillermo's support and willingness to help make his product better and more user friendly forces me to give this an extra star over and above the product itself doing exactly what it is meant to do.

Was looking for an alternative to avre for module usage as that was slowing down my site immensely. This does the trick perfectly in conjuction with the UCD module (read note in the forum).

I just wish there was some way we could turn off those options that youtube throws up for alternate videos - they keep popping up disturbing the video if your mouse hovers around the bottom of the module.

Has made tremendous progress from version 0.1.0

Remember the first draft made me cringe...the latest version shows just how far hard work and determination can bring you.

Well done and look forward to many more updates from you.

Perfect for any sports site - so far have used it only for Formula 1 (it was designed for racing), but from what I've seen so far, the back-end is very neatly packaged and can be used across sports.

Future Version Recommendations
1. Some code clean-up is required - need the msgs to be more user friendly - still get a few sql warnings if u press the wrong stuff.
2. Is hard to use mid-season as a lot of the data has to be manually fed in. Would be ideal if this came with a sql dump as well to pre populate the tables.

Requires some time and patience to configure, but definitely worth the effort.

Best module I've come across yet!

Would be nice to get the flags - also does not work as smoothly with IE 6 as it does with Firefox. Haven't yet tested on IE 7.

Also you would need the fonts installed on your comp to test fully.
