I love the flow of this program and how it works. It's a very easy to use solution and infinitely configurable. HOWEVER.....

I had a validation error where the bottom portion of my template was breaking by an extra closing div tag. Ran the site through the HTML validator and the software showed 94 errors.

Posted this onto the forum and was given a very terse reply of "This software works fine and there will be no changes made. The problem is within your template I will arrange a refund for you". ????

I was not looking for a refund, but an answer how to fix the problem. (Isn't that what a support forum is for?)

For the record, with rhuk_milkyway as the active template, the software threw 97 errors.

As I said, great piece of software. Perhaps the dev can get a better attitude towards those who spend money with him.

Youtube Gallery
I work with quite a few musical artists and having a consolidated video "viewing room" is not only essential, it's expected!

This module allows me to do exactly that. It was a bit tricky to get it looking right in the beginning, but after a few minutes of playing with the settings, did exactly what I told it to and it plays nicely with my other plugins and whatnots.

If I could rank it 10 stars, I certainly would.

geosearch
We needed a map that would spot the user's location and produce a list of results on-the-fly. ACoolSip came through with stellar support!

Can't recommend this suite of software enough. I'd give it 20 stars.
Facebook Share
Good extension- does exactly what it says it will do! However I had to hack it a bit in order to make the page come into compliance with W3 standards. A couple of ampersand issues and the script tag not having the "text/javascript" portion, as well as the style tag being in the wrong place, so said the validator.

To fix it, I just replaced "&" with "&" in the URL string, and moved the custom style rules into the a tag.

Seems to work fine now, and it validates!
GTranslate
This saved my client! We needed to get the site converted into several languages fast and I thought we would be sitting up configuring Joomfish all night (JF is awesome too, BTW)

We dropped in this plugin, fooled with it a bit, and BAM!

Another great use of this plugin is to illustrate to your clients the need for plain text integration; some people like the funky cool text graphics but THIS shows people how important ASCII text on a page is in relation to search, etc.

When this site goes live it will be with the GTranslate PRO version. I don't have a problem spending $$ on quality and this is worthy of my cash.

If I could give 10 stars, I would.

IPrice calculator
I needed a way to make a very simple estimate sheet for my clients. Something that they would be able to configure their product and see the cost involved, then shoot over the information to me so that I could contact them and complete the transaction.

This component exceeds my expectations. I like it so much, I bought the "Plus" (mid-grade) version.

The developer has gone far above and beyond to help me install and deploy the component. One small caveat- The template I'm using (rt_solarsentinel_j15) hides the "standard checkboxes" so that's a small glitch. The developer is looking into this for me and it seems that they really stand behind their product!

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the interface. It's intuitive, functional, and works like a charm.

If you need an "on the fly" calculator for estimates or even purchasing (I think the "pro" version has a shopping cart function) then this component is for you.

Five stars, all the way.
