Well, the first method works fine so I give 4 stars here. Hope the author will improve it better.
Thanks.
Here for "manual input": http://www.imageupload.org/getfile.php?id=66431&a=7ccec360821eb100a98d8bf653b788ed&t=4dfdc346&o=A569068EC280587EA80B5462D9255B823021670DDDDC216AC8DCDDF5487D013055A4690392&n=jv-slideshow.jpg&i=1
Another confusion is, it can't even create its own subfolder in the Joomla /images directory. Since it does not allow user to manually enter the path but select from a list, then , the list is always empty because there is not such a path!
The author claimed that v1.1 can show text and titles, but where can user add those texts? There is no such a field!
In short, this is a pre-mature module, don't waste your time downloading and testing it.
Hello. Thank you for your interest in this module. I would appreciate attempting to contact us directly about any support issues at info@finelinewebsites.com.
As for the images/fl_slideshow directory not being created. I found an issue that caused it to not be created in certain circumstances. You can re-download the file from our website for the updated version.
As for the captions and urls, can you review the documentation? We have provided instructions on how to set these up.
Thanks again and let me know if you have any further questions using this module.
Regards,

Now this plugin uses a modal pop-up to force the visitor read these system messages, that is great!
Thanks to the author!
You are right; I changed it to above and below in version 1.2.1.
I also want to translate those navigation strings, like "previous group" and "full screen", etc. Hope you will add those strings into the language file.
When testing it, at first I can't understand why there is a big Green S symbol in the center of the image, then I realized that it is like "copyright link" for free versions. Hope you can add some tooltip to that S symbol like "pay $5 to remove this".
Anyway, this is a good gallery plugin.
Ok, i'll implemented ToolBar lables traslation in next version
Hope the author will change the parameter labels in the XML file (joomla 1.6 version) so that I can translate it into Chinese language.
Thanks.
But, it only loads the default mod_login, user can not choose his own login module. If I use CB, you know, the default login module can't have CB registration link, so I must use mod_cblogin now. In this case, this plugin will not be able to load mod_cblogin.
Hope there will be a new option to choose login module (by ID or list selection, not position).
Thanks.
Hi,
thanks for your review.
Before helping you I ignore the existance of Community Builder. Shame on me! Now I will study it and I'll surely implement the CB Login in the future version of HOT Login.
You must restrict the current logged in user can ONLY delete his/her own account.
If user A know this data of user B, it is indifferent login or not login to the website. User A can login with user and pass of user B and delete or change his data.
The only limit is the Search String Length Limit, which requirs minimal 3 characters but in Chinese language even 1 (one) character is also a word. So I hope the author can offer an option for choosing the string length limit. Thanks.
This is a great idea to create internal links. However, I am thinking of another better usage: I can use it to turn the article system into a Wiki.
Two things need to be improved:
1. If I enabled "auto create link", then, on the "submit article" form, the "title" should be automatically filled (or just hidden to prevent manual input), because the Article Title HAD been specified in the syntax code.
2. If I disable "auto create link" feature, the text is showing up as Bold style. However, I think they should be just plain text.
Thanks.
And, if we choose to show a "Section", can you group those thumbnails by Category?
Thanks.
2. Why should the user input the path and URL for CAPTCHA? I think the CAPTCHA should work out-of-box! Could you please use relative path for it and then you can hide this parameter by using /cache folder by default?
3. The language selector should have an option to detect site language setting or the client browser language.
4. Fields labels should be translatable in language file, NOT to manually set in parameters.
Not sure what is meant by #1. As for #2, it was a conscious decision not to have the module create a CAPTCHA directory. It's too dangerous to have the module write files to some arbitrary place on the host web server! Much better to let the administrator make a conscious decision where to create the CAPTCHAs. The latest version displays an error message with a "suggested" CAPTCHA directory and URL. As for #3 and #4 I agree with baijianpeng. You will note that it is on my "todo list". I most likely won't get to it in the version for Joomla 1.5, but will add that capability in when the version for Joomla 1.6 is released (most likely not until January of 2011).
Since Adobe Reader has NO 64-bit version, I did not install it. I use PDFXchange Viewer 64-bit instead. This viewer also has browser plugin. When I use Embed PDF plugin to display a pdf document inside my Joomla article, I noticed some weird things happened.
If I shift to use Google viewer for this plugin, it can't open the PDF document at all (maybe Google viewer does not support localhost server?).
Hope this plugin will support other viewer than Google and Adobe. Thanks.
Hi,
thank you for trying my Joomla plugin.
About your "weird things"...
Google and also Google viewer is an internet service. So if you would like to show a pdf file with it, your pdf file have to be available for that service!
If there is a localhost in that path, it probably will not be available from www! So you also will not be able to use any pdf plugin exept it is on the same machine, where the pdf is saved!

It is difficult to assign image and you can only assign one image for each item. The frontend "thumbnail" of this image is acturally just a HTML resize, not real thumbnail. When you click on this "thumbnail", there is NO pop-up(such as lightbox), but open the full-size image in new window!
The worst is, it can't refresh the current bid automatically. Don't you know there is something called AJAX?
After a long time, this component is still so simple like a doll for a child. I noticed that the author has several Joomla extensions in hand. If you are too busy, please just focus on one product and make it a good product. Thanks.
This extension started on the wrong direction. How can it be a good extension then?
Well, it can be a good extension if it's useful, well written, and well supported:) Actually, a component was briefly considered, but didn't seem to give much, if any, advantage for the increased complexity. There was little reason to create an entire management component when the existing article infrastructure works perfectly for this. This may change as features are added, but currently there is nothing that requires a component. sdMacros is still in beta and I'm open to suggestions. If you see advantages to having a component, I would appreciate you posting them in the support forum. sdMacros has proven very useful on several of our websites and I suspect it will prove useful on others' sites as well.
Thanks.
Thanks to the author.
Thank you very much for your review. A installable english-translation is available on the download site. A copy button works well only with IE, other browsers have too many restrictions.
I will think about your second suggestion.

I met a problem when using this, and the author gave me instant and detailed instructions to solve that, which is my fault NOT a bug of this plugin.
Thanks to the author.
The frontend layout is also very clean and neat.
Only one thing I think should be changed: the flv files should be stored in /media folder, NOT in the /components folder, because if the user want to upgrade the component by uninstall/reinstall, he will lost all uploaded videos.
If this component can also support to add remote video on Youtube/Youku to make video gallery, that will be great!
Thanks to the author.
User should upgrade JVideoClip without uninstall the component then the videos will not be deleted.
It is easy to leave the videos after uninstall but not sure the Editor Team allowed this un-clean uninstall.
There are a lot of features we plan to put in the future included you suggestion to add remote videos.
Thank you for your review and rating!
I hope it can allow register with only two files: username and email, then generate random strong password and send it to the user's email address.
Hope the author will improve it soon. Thanks.
I found a small bug in the config.xml file which caused that error. I didnt notice because if you go to the component parameters backend and save the config one time the problem is gone. But anyway thanks for pointing this out to me. I have fixed it! Next time try posting a message in the forum before giving a review ;)
