Remository
I have been using Remository component for a long time. This is the best downloading management component for Joomla! now. I recommend it to everayone.

The latest news is there is also a new native version for Joomla! 1.5 to run without legacy mode.

Attachments
This is the only one component that can let us attach files to article in Joomla! 1.5 contents.

The author is also very talented and active. Thanks to him!

BookLibrary Basic
This is an amphibian like component to display your books. I mean, at one side, it can accept the book infomation entered by you manually; at the other side, it can retrieve the book information automatically from amazon.com, you ONLY need specify the ISBN numer of that book.

The most important thing is, it can implement your Amazon Associate Tag and let you got rewarded if someone click your book link and buy a book from amazon. So you can built a small bookstore in minutes to make money from amazon online bookstore as an affiliate.

Joomler SyntaxHighlighter
I have waited for a long long time to see these features in this plugin: custom line number and copy to clipboard. Now the dream come true.

Thanks to Joomler!.net for offering us such an amazing plugin at no cost.

Joo!BB
I view JooBB on Joomla! 1.5 as a FireBoard on Joomla! 1.0.x.

JooBB has more features waiting us to explore. I highly recommend Joo!BB to those who won't use a bridge to build forum on Joomla! 1.5.

yvComment
Someone applaud for this commenting component maybe because it is the first one, or the only one at present, commenting component for Joomla! 1.5. But it is not so good. The file and folders structures are similar in component and plugin, which make me very confused when trying to translate it.

The backend parameters are also weird, it ask me to add a Guest User account! I haven't seen such a requirement on any other commenting system.

Second, it is not easy for those who want to allow comments for All his sections. This component has no option for All Section, you must enter the section IDs manually.

I am not satisfied. Hope the author will improve it later.

This review shows, that yvComment is not so simple already, as it was 6 months ago :-)
It may be disappointed for somebody, but one have to read instructions on the Homepage to know how and why something is done...

Community Builder
C.B. is very good. I think it should be the core component of Joomla.

Time Zone Clock
This module can display current time for different time zones.

If you allow to translate the weekday name that will be better.

If display time with Analog clock this will be perfect.

Thanks.
Owner's reply

I'll work on a version to allow translation.

Analog clocks are problematic because they have to be calculated and are much slower.

Vinaora World Time Clock
This module can display a clock as it claimed. But it only shows one clock for one region. I thought it can display several clocks for different time zones just as we saw on the wall in big hotels.

This module also loads very slow since it will try to read some data from another remote server.

eXtplorer
Very great component !

I can't love it more. Yes, I had also made Chinese translation for it.

Now I think you can add a link of Back to Joomla for this new version.

Thank you.

Random Flash Module
Finally we have this module to show Flash files on the Joomla webpage. I love this one.

But I noticed that this module will resize my flash banner to about 190px wide when the original width was 768.

Maybe it need some reparation.

Anyway, thanks to the author. This is a great one.
Owner's reply

baijianpeng: Are you sure that this is because of the module. Could this be an issue with your template?

JV-LinkExchanger (jvlinx)
This component is very good. I like the idea.

Hope the author can add a new feature : import from Bookmarks component since it was abandoned by its developer.

I think LinkExchanger has all those features Bookmarks have. So I will not use Bookmarks anymore.

VirtueMart
Why you all praise this component so much ?

Today I began to test it and thought it must be very good. Finally, I realized that this component was disigned wrongly from the first line of code.

It requires to disable the registration system of Joomla, and can't use the registration of Community Builder.

Why it need a new registration system when everyone agree that CB must be the Core of Joomla?

Very bad idea. I will give up it even if there is no shopping cart component for Joomla.

CB Captcha Plugin

GCalendar
I like the idea of integrating Google Calendar into Joomla. This is really a good component. But when I try to translate your component into Chinese, I couldn't find the language folder.

The author said we should use JoomFish to get multilingual support but he has not realized that JoomFish is not a must for every user. Sometimes a language folder containing language files can solve this issue easier than JoomFish. Especially when the user just want a site of single native language NOT a multilingual site.

I suggest the author release the 1.4.1 version with a language folder. You can only put english.php file there and we translators will do the rest.

Akeeba Backup
Joomla! Pack does what it claims. This is a new concept for backing up Joomla websites. I love it so much that I had made a Chinese translation for its language file.

Hope it can be better and better. Thank you Nicholas.
AdsManager
Obviously the author of Ads Manager has shown us a full consideration for the users' needs. This great component tells us that it is not too hard to do following :

1. Let user customize the page title

2. Let user insert some customized text below the title and above the mainbody of the compoent

3. Let user add customized fields, and also the fileds can be allocated to different category

I think all those extension developers should follow this example to make better extensions.

Many many thanks to the author(s) of Ads Manager.

CiviCRM
I installed this com_ on my testing server. But I can not find the option to change the language. After about 2 hours' search I know I have to modify some codes in the civicrm.settings.php file. I can also change the default country name there.All these information was not added into the readme file.

Another pain is I do not know how to set up one or more menu items on the frontend. I had tried to do so by creat a new menu pointing to the com_ but cause error on the frontend.

Hope authors give detailed instructions to a new user.

JoomSEF
As you can see, the com_ of ARTIO JoomSEF is continously rated 5 by 8 users including me.

This SEF com_ is the best not only for English language users, but also, or the more important rule, it makes non-English language users like me to enjoy the fun of SEF perfectly.

Suggetions to Chinese, or Korean, or Japanese, or Arabian .... any non-English language users: When you use this SEF com_ , just name your Section/Category Name with your native language and name the Section/Category Title with English, then name your article Title with your Native language and name the article Alias with English.

Now, you can see all those words on the frontend are still in your language but the ARTIO JoomSEF com_ will extract link elements from those English Names you just given.

I want to rate this com_ as 100 if they had set this number.
