DFContact
This is a good component to offer CAPTCHA support. I tested DFcontact v1.0.3 for Joomla 1.0 today. It can't pick up the correct language file. I have to manually specify the language file.

I think you can make this component better by detecting the correct language file automatically.

Thanks to the author.

tinCaptcha
The author did not make it clear that this CAPTCHA engine requires modification to Joomla core files to be applied to the default contact form.

Finally, after the email exchange with the author, I found out how to modify those code. I think the author should include that link to the forum post in the extension description.

Though this is a good extension, I think modifying core files is not good.

Versions
We know that drupal has versions management feature for articles, but Joomla does not. Now with this extension, Joomla will have the same power to give content items a version manager.

Thanks to the author!

mavik Thumbnails
I can't believe that this small plugin (only 17KB) can do such a fantastic job!

It offers another feature for thumbnails generating, since we can set different size for each single thumbnail.

Thanks to the author.

BIGSHOT Google Analytics
This plugin is exactly the best one to insert Google Analytics code into your template. Don't worry about if a module position is at the bottom of your webpate, this plugin can just insert those code before closing Body tag.

Excellent job! Thanks to the author!

XTypo Plugin
This is a very good plugin to make it easier for inserting special typographic blocks in the article content.

Thanks to the author, hope you will add more styles and icon images to make it more beautiful.

Tabs & Sliders
This Tabs module is very easy to use. But it lacks of two important features: 1. Open tab on mouseover. 2. Automated tabs change.

Anyway, this is still a very good module. Thanks to the authors.

RWCards
This is a very good component. I hope the author can improve the uploading feature, since if we have too many categories of e-cards, why not create sub-folders for each category ?

In addition, I think use Flash video file (.swf) to make E-cards is more beautiful. Please add support for SWF videos. When the receipient got the notification mail, he can click the link inside the mail to go to our website to watch the SWF video.

Thanks.

Core Design Ajax Vote plugin
I would like to rate this one 5 stars but I can't, because it simply doesn't work!

I installed this plugin on my Joomla! 1.5.6, and installed the Scriptegrator plugin. Surely I had enabled both plugin and select jQuery JS to yes in Scriptegrator plugin. But it just refuses to show up the stars!

Ozio Gallery
This is a very beautiful photo gallery component! I can't help being excited to translate it into Chinese language.

I noticed that the author is planning to add Separate Album feature in the future version, that will make this component even better !
Ignite Gallery
I tried to translate this component, but found that it can't pick up the correct language file according to the site language settings. Even when I checked the preferences of this component, I found that my new translation was not included in the language list!

Hope the author use .ini file format for language files instead of php format. This is the standard format for Joomla! 1.5 native extensions.

Second problem is, when I tried to create a new menu item of this component and save it, it can't be saved in IE7 browser. I was forced to change to FireFox browser and then I can save it. I hate been compelled to use FireFox!!
Owner's reply

I have added .ini language translation to the feature list. At the moment the php translations work fine. Any extra translations can be included by simply putting the language file name into the config.xml file.

The component also works fine with Internet Explorer. Out of 1500 downloads this is the only user that has complained with and Internet Explorer Issue. However the user is convinced the component has the error, not themself, and has chosen to complain here, instead of following the issue up in the support forum, where I am happy to help with.

Template Toolbar
I had tried another Joomla! 1.5 template tool in mxp format for Dreamweaver MX, but it can't be installed into my Dreamweaver CS3. So I gave it up. This one can work with ANY editor since it only generate code and put them into the clipboard, then user can paste the code into any editor.

Cool! Now I can use some OpenSource HTML/php editor to design my Joomla! 1.5 template.

Thanks to the author!
MultiAds
This plugin can insert Ads code automatically into your articles. It also can insert other code! After the author added the ability of excluding certain categories in the latest version, I think this plugin should be installed on each Joomla! 1.5.x.

Great job! Thanks to Joe.

Rquotes
This is a good component for Joomla! 1.5.x to show random quotes. It is very easy to use. So I made a Chinese language translation for it since the new version has the multi-lingual interface support.

If the author can add a new feature to allow user creating or editing categories, it will be better.

DISQUS Comments
I want to use Disqus plugin. But I noticed that the frontend interface of Disqus comment system has no multi-lingural support, it only shows English language. And the Disqus plugin can't choose specified section or category. Not good.
Owner's reply

I'm guessing that the DISQUS people have plans to open their service to other languages as well. You can contact them directly if you want on this post:
http://disqus.disqus.com/integrating_disqus_on_joomla/

Regarding display options, we will roll out v1.2 soon (along with the J!1.0.x version) which will feature the ability to filter where you want the comments to appear. ;)

Security Images
SecurityImages is a good component, the author must had put much more efforts in the development. But it requires hacks to the Joomla! core files and other 3rd party extensions which want to use this CAPTCHA engine. I think these hacks will creat difficulties for later updates. This is just like cut foot to fit the boot.

Maybe a better solution is to add CAPTCHA engine to the Joomla! core. I mean, let Joomla! has its own CAPTCHA component and plugin and API. Then any 3rd party extension can call and show security code if it was coded to use this API.

Thanks for your efforts, hope Joomla! team will add this feature soon.
