Easy Syntax Highlighter
★★★★★
Works fantastically
bybristophocles, May 1, 2011
Great plugin, works really well. Very simple to use and works great even from within a WYSIWYG. Does a good job keeping formatting intact, no playing with tags to get it to look the way you intended.
GeSHiHelper Plugin
★★★★
Good, Basic, Works
bybristophocles, May 1, 2011
Does just what it says, works right out of the box (I'm using JCE). A bit vanilla though. Perhaps being able to set options to include line numbering would make this a bit more versatile.
Mad4Joomla

Good free program, but captcha is an issue

Mad4Joomla
Form building features are pretty good for a free program. However, if you have to jump into the code to fix any issues, good luck. Captcha functionality leaves a lot to be desired. It's quite buggy, captcha refresh actually refreshes the whole page, etc. Bottom line is, it's not worth the time figuring out the absolutely cryptic captcha coding in this component to fix any of it. If there was an option for using your own captcha code (like reCaptcha or some other) it might be a little bit less of a headache. Spend some money on a decent forms component instead.

On the project site you can find the technical requirements.
There we point out that the GD library with true type font support must be installed on your server.
Otherwise you can not use the native captcha's.
Furthermore, Mad4Joomla does have 4 different captcha techniques. Those don't have been tested by the reviewer.

We also provide information via the F.A.Q's about issues with captcha.

At last we provide a pro version (Mooj Proforms) of Mad4Joomla. This is commercial and does support reCaptcha.
Mad4Joomla and Proforms are the same software with different names.

So talking about spending money for a decent form extension, when there is a commercial pro version (with all the missing features :) ) sounds extremly like a malicious review.

A Basic Must-Have

Outstanding extension. I consider it a must have now every site I create. One of the first things I install every time. If you are operating on a shared server, this tool is an absolute must have. Also, never have had any issues with it at all. No bugs, no hiccups. Use this if you aren't already.

Great extension. Intuitive yet versatile PMS. Really easy to mod, too. They provide excellent documentation and intro to modding/paneling. I hope to see more third party extensions become available in the future.
Image Wall for K2

Not what it seems

Image Wall for K2
Bought this, but didn't work out of the box. Had to add a missing require_once to bring in k2 helper class. Gives you a simple block wall of linked photos, but not as it seems in the demo... there is no column to the left that displays written summary/info as it appears on the demo site. You'll have to figure out your own magic to make it look that way. I'll have to add params for the written content on the side and add CSS/view mods. Not all together miraculous.

It seems that you do not even have basic experience in joomla. The extension produces a image wall. You misunderstood entirely. The demo shows the wall. But On the left is custom html module. And you have given the possibility of various params. But you did not used them effectively.
Lastly, i tried to help you. But you did not respond.
