The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Works great with all versions of J1.7. Tested on WAMP and LAMP. Also tested it on WAMP with the production release of J2.5 and so far its great. Thanks to the developer for this fantastic extension!

Simple, easy to edit the source to make it do what you want. Reviewer below andrecolbert must not understand CSS. I also added a few tweaks in the PHP to make the "sender message" optional in the outgoing email, and a few other things. Thanks to the developer for this free software.

On content pages, it automatically adds a very nice looking graphic tab to the edge of the browser, which pops up a lightbox containing a "reccomend a friend" form with 5 email addresses and captcha. It is really quite nice.

But it is in Russian. Any volunteers who can translate it?

This module saved me tons of trouble. This module provides an option that should exist in mod_mainmenu.

I found one problem. Menu items that are external links (URLs) fail becuase ItemID is unconditionally added to all menu links. I added "m.link" to the database calls in helper.php and changed one line of code in default.php to make ItemID conditional (exclude if type=url)

Thanks for your contribution!

Totally Customizable! Conquered many problems with this extension. I needed a submit system that was flexible and configurable, and still simple enough to modify (with my limited programming skills) so that it would work closely with CB and with a separate "reccommend this article" extension.

JE Story Submit filled the bill perfectly. Now I have hundreds of users submitting their stories and referring their friends to the site.

I contacted the developer for some quick assistance, and was satisfied instantly. Great job to the team at "JoomlaExtensions"

Since I depend on this software so much, allow me to offer an idea for further enhancement. What about moving the configuration options to the menu assignment instead of the component. This way it will be easier to create many different submit links for different sections/categories, with different admin emails and user messages.

again, Two Thumbs Up!

The AJAX driven user interface is really great. Allows you to deliver multi-page surveys using only a small screen real estate. Users are not scared off by long forms.

A background image for each survey can be assigned, plus images and full html can be used in the body of each question. There are 4 question types which seems adequate for me.

This extension is J1.5 native, contradictory to other reviews posted here.

The major drawback WAS that non-registered guests could not access the surveys, but I fixed that with a minor hack to three php files. The changed files are posted in the developer's forum.

On the surface it seems that multiple questions on a single page are not possible, but you can use the "Ranking" style question to create a drop-down list of answers/responses that must be exclusively matched to multiple questions. That is adequate for my purposes. Besides, I think that one-question-at-a-time is a great approach for online surveys (can't look ahead). By comparison, such AJAX powered surveys would be a pain in the rear to build using a form generator.

Best of all, its FREE. A big Thank-You to the developers.

Ecommerce systems cause people to assume 'unlimited availability'. But to get people to BUY NOW, you need to push 'scarcity'. This really helps to get the message across.

Thumbs up.

Initial install did not work right away. I turned the bot off and added this at the bottom of my template at got it to work:



FLIR.init( { path: 'plugins/system/facelift-1.2/' } );
FLIR.auto();

Had some troubles with Phoca SEF. Backend was scrambled so I couldn't get anywhere. Installed this and 2 minutes later my problems were solved. With SEF tuned on, URL maintenance can be a headache. If you need to change a menu alias, this will allow you to solve the problem immediately. Will make this standard on all my builds.

Simple and does the job in an instant. More feature suggestions:

APPEND MODE - if some keywords already exist, keep them and append additional keywords up to the maximum. Preserve sequence so writers can identify the ones they entered vs those automatically added.

NO CHANGE MODE - only process if metadata field is empty.

Give stronger weighting to keywords in the title, H1 tags, etc.

A fantastic component. Solid, fast, flexible, great admin features. The true beauty of this component is discovered when you start to play with the templates and tweak them to create a completely original front end look and feel. Developers are consistently moving forward, adding features, fixing bugs. I have used RSgallery2 on many sites.

This is a total snap to install, and use, and looks great.

Questions/Issues...
I get an error on each page that reads "Notice: Undefined offset: 15 in .../plugin_jw_sig.php on line 59." How can I make that go away?

I have image sizes and aspect ratios that are not uniform. Sometimes the thumbnail does not fit in the shadow box for which it is intended (additional white space shows up between the right edge of thumbnail and the shadow box). I get better results when I resixe the original image to an even multiple of the target thumbnail width. Is there a better solution?

If a thumbnail is shorter (vertically) than the one next to it, S.I.G. drops in another thumbnail below it in the same row. Great idea, but a problem can/does show up because this is a progessive feature. At the end of a row (on the right), the stack can grow up to 3-5 thumbnails high with TONS of white space left under the first thumbnails on the left.

Perhaps a solution would be to track the height of the tallest individual thumbnail in the row, and double up below short thumbnails only if there is room for it (without increasing the min row height required for the tallest individual thumbnail).

Great work. Wish I was a programmer so I could help out.
