The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is the perfect component to develop an article directory like ArticleDashBoard.com, ArticleFriendly.com and other article marketing directory scripts. There is one catch, you get to build one with the power of Joomla.

The developers are awesome. They fix bugs and add features frequently. The best part is that it works with ease.

You can restrict categories to different user groups, assign users as article reviewers, connect it to community builder and attach user resource boxes. It also will send out emails to your authors letting them know their article is awaiting approval, was approved and reject emails when you find problems with their article allowing them to fix it and resubmit.

To my knowledge no other submission component has all these features. Most other do not have resource boxes or an article management facility on back-end to allow the admin to approve or reject articles.

If you want to develop a Joomla site that is like all the other article directory scripts out there I wouldn't look at anything other than Article Factory Manager. Its your all in one solution.

It may not have the ratings like the others and that's because it is commercial and they have their own support forum. I want them to add more advanced features to it so I wanted to give you some incentive to check it out because I think many people overlook this great extension.

I guarantee you won't look back once you try it out. Prove me wrong I dare you, But since you won't I will just say I told you so!!!
