Place Here module
Very, very nice job. Kudos to you my friend. Keep up the good work.

I had a very simple need. Allow my customers the freedom to admin left and right module/column content via the frontend editor.

I have been running into the same stumbling block with customers and decided to address this issue as it was mentally taxing, time consuming and was leading to an overall negative experience for both the customers and myself.

For me this "Place Here Module" was a breath of fresh air as I tried others that just didn't work as advertised. As well there was no need for the cryptic "{article}{/article}" type syntax. With this your given an amazing menu to choose from. Imagine that.. ;p

I recreated existing custom module content into articles. Loaded up the "Place Here Module", configured the options like any other module has on the left part of the page. Then on the right part of the module configuration page were all the Article options. Gave it the article id, module suffix, and turned on and off other options as needed. Saved... and WhaLa!!!!

Logged into the frontend of the site with my customers credentials and to my amazement they can now edit the module content to their hearts desire.

Keep in mind, this module has tons more options than what I used it for, but thankfully it was intuitive, effective and simple.

No my customers can turn that frown upside down. ;p

Using Joomla 1.5.15 atm.
I was having some very frustrating permission issues that would arise after using Joomla's backend to edit my index.php or template.css files. The permissions would get switched to 555 on save. Having done hours of research I found some stuff in the forums but none of the developers had anything to say.
I was pointed to NinjaExplorer and was purely delighted. You can browser your file system, change permissions, edit, create, add, delete and move files directories without permissions getting overwritten with silly 555. This is something that my customers were asking for as well. Before they would have to have their respective cpanels open as well as the Joomla backend.
I ran into some issues and started a thread on their forum's and was responded to in a prompt curtious professional fashion. The developer/s came out with a fix and a new release within a day. Great efficient products and top notch support. Thumbs up to the NinjaForge team.
