Actually opencart is the solid extension since AyelShop is simply the integration of opencart into Joomla!
I greatly second most of other reviews before mine.
I had a couple of question which were answered quickly and well.
The only hiccup i faced was the customization of the template. opencart uses a slight different approach to template overrides and template system than Joomla! Which translated in some confusion at first.
opencart uses xml files to make some overrides on the fly to the template files. So customizing the default template is confusing at first as it's not just a matter of changing the CSS and php files.
But the default set of features coming with opencart is excellent and rich. You've got everything you need for a shopping cart "in house".
One advise, if you are not sure, download and run opencart alone since it's free, check and/or work on your template; and then get AyelShop. In theory, you'll just have to migrate your template.
In conclusion, i had a much better experience with AyelShop (opencart) than with Virtuemart (version 2 included).

The installation was simple, the set-up is easy as well given all the explanation, tool tip an guides. Sure there are many settings as you would expect from a professional extensions. But not too many that you are discouraged looking at the config page.
The restoration process is a breeze! so simple.
It's definitely worth getting the pro version. I used to always go for free extensions. But what you get for such small price is no doubt valuable. And when you think about it, just factor the cost in your next project(s), and basically, your extension will be paid for by clients, and will benefits you for all sites.
And since time is money, you will save a lot of money with this extension. A very good ROI is you ask me.
Let alone providing additional service to your client by providing them with peace of mind knowing that their entire site is backed up frequently and ready to be restored very quickly.
Great work Akeeba team !

Now, not only i use Joomla! to build pretty much all my site. But Flexicontent has become "THE" CCK extension i install to build the sites.
It is so flexible, it's unreal. And unlike other CCK, the templating system is so simple to play with.
I've tried other CCK extensions which can also be powerful, but either the templating system was complicated or the extensions itself was hard to set up.
The Flexi team is doing an amazing work!
Flexicontent has become the second extension with JCE i install right after i install Joomla!

Personally, i never had to use all these feature for my site or my clients.
xgallery has just the right amount of settings and it simply works!
The easiness of use is great when you install it for your client project as it makes it easier to train the client and clients loves it cause it so simple to use.
Although no support forum can be found, the developer answered my email really quickly.
GREAT EXTENSION!

When i ran into problem for some component plugins, the support was actually pretty quick and efficient as i got my problems solved all the times.
Great job

It is always the first extension i install after installing Joomla! itself.
If you ask me, it should be the default editor packaged with Joomla!
Even the subscription fee is well worth to buy and only 20$. When you think about the added value you bring to your own project or client's project 20$/year is nothing.
Seriously, a must have extension!

But no proper doc available, not much info from dev and it's broken in the latest version of JS.
Owner's reply
Hi bobthebob01,
I understand. If I have enough time in the future I will continue developing this extension as I found this useful. At the moment I am busy learning Magento and Drupal so I hope you guys can understand. Thanks!

Works great out of the box. Easy to configure and use.
Since it is already so good compare to others (paid and free ones), i will only make little/unimportant comment.
In the admin interface, i would simply use the default Joomla! icons for: new, publish, delete etc. So it looks the same. Makes it visually easier as any heavy Joomla! admin knows these icons.
The text area where you can enter your css or html template should be wider and taller.
it's just for user friendliness. That's all i have to say cause the rest is simply working fine!

My only one little issue is that i need to have the gallery at bottom instead of at the top, left or right.
I could not find any forum or support page since the site is not in English.
@developer: if you have a solution, please let us know.
But if you are not in my case, i agree that you should need support as it is simple and working!

And it works right out of the box, just as you need it to do.
For me it lost few points in the customization. The template and css for the views are not quite well done. But if it comes from a pure developer then i am not surprised ;)
But the most important is that it works great.
cheers for that extension

But it's a bit buggy.
But most of all the dev. have disappeared, vanished completely. Even if you bought the paid version.
NO ANSWER AT ALL.
Even the their forum have been closed.
So if you just need a simple forme, go with the free version, but don't upgrade to the paid version for now.
