The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

In my opinion, this is the best event component out there for Joomla. I've looked at several and always ended up back at DTRegister. The version for J 2.5 now no longer requires an uninstall, which is great.

Note that DT Register doesn't use the "ticket" type system that other components (or event brite) use, but it has fee fields and conditional fields, which can basically take care of most needs (including a new conditional option where you can hide fields for groups of X number, giving you the ability to hide things like fee fields when your group rates kick in). In addition, the developer will add features at a reasonable price and (if you are okay with it) roll them into the commercial release (the benefit being that you aren't stuck with a fully custom build, you can keep on upgrading as other new features are added-AND you help the community as a whole).

One of the newest additions is the ability to put registrants of certain events into groups-this allowed us to sell premium webcast access per event (older versions used 1 joomla group for the entire system).

New features are in the pipeline and this component will continue to get better and better. If you're looking for a solid event system with the option to purchase customizations at a reasonable price then look no further.

Same experience as the other reviewers. I followed the install directions (even installed the language file that isn't mentioned but is included) and it does exactly nothing.

This slider is amazing, but you can read the other reviews to see that. It's the support that deserves an extra 5 stars. Twice I have emailed the developer with feature requests (once to make sure article plugins could be used in the sliders and again to see if he could find a way to stop videos from playing if the user moved to another panel). Both times he responded with a NEW VERSION within hours.

If you need a flexible slider, do yourself a favor and just buy this one.

Not only does this module open up a whole new world of filtering to VirtueMart, but the customer service of this company is outstanding. We realized that product types aren't searchable in the standard vmart search field and Maks modified the vmart search plugin to include product type fields, so now we have both the filter AND the search working (not sure if this puts stress on the database, but we're running a VPS so its not a problem for us).

If you're running a virtuemart store and you want more than just a generic search function, cherry picker is the way to go.

The only thing missing in this module is the ability to make a template override (use of the tmpl folder) and the ability to turn off the Show All text.

I edited the module to remove that and adjust my module width, but otherwise, this one WORKS. The one on the JS site caused errors if the guest clicked a photo, then clicked Back to Album.

I'd give this 5 stars but it's basly programmed. If you use ANY other module that uses simplepie, your site will break. I got a tip from the gCalendar guys and patched this plugin to look for simple pie and only load it if needed, but then it has to be AFTER the other simplepie modules...need to put it first and you're out of luck. I'm having to look elsewhere.

Be aware, this plugin does NOT seem to work if you have more than one instance on a page (such as a blog layout would do). I have no idea if this will get fixed or not, but it bit me just before I went live with a client site.

I'm waiting to hear from the developer, but so far, this component was a waste of $25 for me. The layout system turned out to be messy, and at any point in time one of my static text boxes will get a border around it. The only way I found to remove it was to delete the item and create a new one.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to make the form longer than the layout area, and so far I can't get the submit button to do ANYTHING.

I'd steer clear if you need something that just works.

I had been looking for a decent forms component for a while. Previously I used performs, but found it lacking. Though RSForm has lots more detail which could get confusing, it was nice to be able to do things like add a few break tags after the form (in the provided code box, right in the component) to make sure there was a bit of room below the component. I was even able to figure out how to add space between form items by editing the code in the Field Style box (in this case, I added a break tag right before the {field} item to move my submit button down a bit).

I'm likely going to be going with RSform! for my client joomla sites in the future.
