The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is a great tool to help Joomla 1.0.x users to migrate to Joomla 1.5.x.

However, when I tried to translate this component into Chinese language, I noticed that many many texts at backend, where also the main operation
interface, are not included in the language file, so I can't make a complete translation.

Hope the author will add all those texts into the language file.

Thanks.

This is a lightweight shopping cart solution, especially for its "sell products in Joomla content" feature.

However, the language file is not complete yet so that I can't make a full translation for it.

Hope the author will add those lost strings into the language files.

Thanks.

I tested this plugin recently. The author even forgot to pack up JQuery Lighbox folder and files, but the XML file try to install them at the same time.

Another problem is, this plugin will also try to generate thumbnails for my math equation images which were output by mimiTeX plugin and made those images can't be displayed.

I also tested another famous plugin MultiThumb, MultiThumb can automatically ignore equation images.

I think the author of JUMultithumb should learn something from MultiThumb, if it is possible, please take over the MultiThumb code and continue it, because that project seems been abandoned by its author.

For the equation image issue, you also can add a new option to solve it. This option is: exclude images with "nothumbnail" CSS class name.

Thanks.

This is the best banner manager for Joomla 1.5 ! For a long time I was looking for a way to display flash format banners, now it was solved by this component.

the only disadvantage is that the author did not add multi-language for it. Hope he will add a /language folder soon.

Thanks.

I must salute to Joeguo since he had contributed several excellent free plugins to Joomla community including this one.

This plugin will save your bandwidth and make your page open faster. It is really a Must-Have!

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.

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.

This is a great plugin. If your J1.5 website seldom modify articles, this plugin can generate Static HTML pages for your articles and make your website faster.

Thanks to the author Joe.

I just can say Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Thanks to the authors.

I rated this one Average not because it can't work for me. Even it can work, I also think it is not good enough.

The author used the word Automatically when introducing this plugin. What is the meaning of Automatically? If a plugin needs manually edit CSS file and manually set the CSS class for the image, it shouldn't be called Automatically. Take a look at another plugin named Multithumb, that is real Automatically.

For a long time, people complain that there is no way to run some plugin syntax inside a module. Now we have it!

Two suggestions for improvement: 1. what is the use of first parameter "Plugin to execute" ? If it is not compulsory, just remove it. Because it will produce an EXTRA {something I entered} at frontend. 2. sometimes we need to limit the dimension of this module, for example, when playing a video file. So please add new parameters to control the size.

Thanks to the author!

This is the best directory component for Joomla. Today I tried to make a custom template for SOBI2 but can't find enough documentation on this issue. Hope the author will improve the Template Commands page on their website.

Thanks to the authors.

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!

Just tested this with Joomla! 1.5.7, it can be installed and worked. But I can't understand the design of this software.

Is this a single-user blog tool? Then why you need an Author field to fill ? Do you think the Admin will forget his name? Why not just fetch the Admin name automatically?

Is this a multi-user blog? Then why I can't find a Write New Blog link at frontend?

What is the superiority of this software when compared with Joomla default content component? I think we can publish mini Blog articles with com_content too. If we need special blue frame around the article, we can do it by CSS. Why bother to install such a weird component?

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.

Today I tested JLord Users Generator component on my Joomla! 1.5.7, I think the author can do something to improve it.

Let's see a feature reqeust from one of the members on our Chinese Joomla Forum:

He is building a website for a college, he want to generate a lot of users, each for a student. But the problem is: the username must be the Stubent ID Number, not the Name. The password should be the same as the username. The email can be anything since it will be modified by each student himself.

I noticed that you had fix the beginning portion of the generated username to jlord_test_user. And we can't control the dynamic portion either.

So, my suggestions are:

1. Add a new option to allow user specify the fix part of the username, for example, we can use 2008 instead of jlord_test_user, because the Student ID Number always start with the year number. Of course, we can also leave this field empty to disable the constant part of the username.

2. Add a new parameter to let user specify the start point number of the dynamic portion, maybe from 1, maybe from 00001, maybe from 999, just let us control it.

3. Add a new option to let user specify the increasing or decreasing direction and step length. Default is increasing by 1 for each step.

4. Add a new option to exclude certain numbers or characters.

5. Add a new option to print out the generated usernames, passwords add emails, one user one line, then we can cut that paper and send each user info to its owner.

Due to the poor instructions from the author, I can't get this plugin to work at first. Finally I realized that I just need to give the image a CSS class named jthumbs. Then it worked. I saw the highslide effects.

But the thumbnail image did not show up properly. My thumbnails look like a vertical bar in gray color with a size about 2px*15px. If I click that gray bar, there will pop-up the large image. I can't understand this.

Anyway, this plugin seems the easiest way to get highslide images. Hope the author will improve it. Thanks.

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!

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.

This module is better than another module Bookmarks Joomla! 1.5 which claims to do the similar job but not.

Hope the author of this module add those backend parameters to the language file so that we can make complete translations.

In addition, if possible, please use .ini format language file since this is the standard of Joomla! 1.5.

Thanks.
