So many Joomla extensions are unwieldy and difficult to work with. ReReplacer enables me to correct this with ease.

You know how you look at the page source then dive into the extension files to try to figure out where to adjust, get rid of extra spaces, add styling tags, etc. Some extensions are brutal - Virtuemart is a good example. Great shopping cart, but it's very difficult to get back to where they do things to fix it at the source.

ReReplacer eliminates the need for that, for the cosmetic stuff, I just have to look at the source code, find the text I want to change, enter the current text and the desired text into ReReplacer and voíla! You can change HTML, content, restrict it to articles, or the head section or open it up to everything.

Peter, the guy who wrote this is brilliant, check his other very cool extensions and read his web site, he's a character.

Thanks for this great tool!

Juga provides for the creation of user groups that are much finer than Joomla gives you. You can restrict access to individual articles, components or anything that is defined in the URL. Combined with their sister product, Ambra Subscriptions, Juga gives you total control over who can see what on your site. This is a complex product, not simple or intuitive to set up, but the excellent documentation will guide you through. If you run into trouble (I had a site with an old PHP version), the excellent, responsive support staff will come to your rescue with clear, pointed instructions about what you should do to resolve your issue. I am completely happy and will use Juga on all my sites which require restricted access.

Ambra Subscriptions is a great package, robust and very well supported. I build websites for clients and have tried all sorts of subscription packages, but this is the one I will use going forward.

It is not simple to set up, but the documentation is clear and if you follow it, you will have no problems.

Used alone, Ambra Subscriptions requires you to tag all the pages you want to restrict. In combination with their sister product, Juga, you can restrict access to any Joomla entity using the menu system without special tags.

Support is excellent, but the clear documentation makes it unnecessary except for true technical problems.

RS Forms allows anyone to easily put a form on your site that captures the info to the database. Combined with the Mapping plug-in, you can do anything you can imagine with a form - I used it to capture user-created listings which I then display on the site. I also used it to capture membership information with offline credit card processing. Support so far has been very good with quick response, but I have used that mostly for getting presales info and managing the several product subscriptions I bought, the documentation is clear and easy to follow.
