The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I see so many positive reviews. First of all there is no contact address on developer's page, no email no contact page. The forum is not working. Documentation available for 1.5 (nice). When installing package 2.0 or 2.1 the installer says ''error admin menus could not be build" When selecting the component on site map it says: The requested sitemap does not exits". I have nobody to reach... so hopefully the guys will read it and improve.

this is so far the best download and pay component out there. It was easy to install with the step-by-step guide (on the web) and right away you can offer files for payments. Forget robust dokmans or jdowloadz they are too big, you just want to sell individual files and this is what it is meant for. Keep doing an excellent job guys.

I purchased the component and module 2 weeks ago. It is working great. Exactly what we needed for travel agency (event trips calendar, list of events and search module) It has all!. We needed some local language to be added into .ini files and the developer was very helpful and did changes within a day.. Communication via skype was great!

great tool and professional... users should not expect everything on the web is for free. 2 USD is great price. thanks!

Hi, just want to confirm what other people say. The free Gtranslate module works perfect and is easy to install. You just need to select a good position for the flags in your template (we used the 'banner') and choose which languages to use. It is powered by google translation services but heads up they improved much more since the beginning. We tested few languages which we can speak, of course there are some grammatical mistakes, yes, but the user who doesn't speak English can understand very easily the content of the web site. All contents, modules, menus get translated very well!

Now something about the PRO Version. If you don't want to see the message : ...Translating... but want your site automatically load into new language or if you want your site to be indexed in the local national google database (using SEO) then I suggest go PRO. It cost 80 USD, yes, but the support is more than great and very fast. Even if you stuck, you describe the situation and you got answer. Or if you are a total dummy, give the creator a temporary FTP access to your web site and he will do it for you!. Great service!

Sorry guys, I used to love the Joomfish when it was under 1.0 I had it on one of my sites and it is running just great!!!! Now I have another one in Joomla 1.5 and tried Joomfish thinking of premiere translation component. FORGET IT. Spent 45 min restoring my web site back to the origin stage when it was before I installed it. If you have SH404SEF installed as the SEF translation of URLs and now you want JOOMFISH, forget it. These two great components hate each other, there is no way you can bring back the web site unless you de-install it. I de-installed my favorite SH404SEF first thinking I would at least have bi-lingual site without SEF. Forget it, there is another issue which authors admit under Joomla 1.5. "It has become apparent that the Joomla caching system, which is based on files stored in the "/cache" directory, is not an ideal solution for Joomfish translation caching. It is too slow and can lead to large numbers of files being created which then cause the system to slow down as it works out which ones need deleting." No way you can figure out the patch yourself if you are a rookie like me. So after 1 hour of restoring my website I am finally left with plain web site and thinking to re-install the SH404SEF at least and think how to translate the web site... I guess English as default will do for now...

PS don't take it as criticism, the component has still great potential and most of all is free, so I admire you for that, but please work with SH404SEF guys and program something working. Many thanks!

the module works perfectly, easy to install - BUT, the google translation services is far from being even near.. word by word will not make a sentence. It's worse than having anything. I know how difficult it must be to translate stuff, but I wouldn't put something out if it means derailment.

PS but the module works great

good job, simple yet powerful integration of Google Calendar. I don't have much coding knowledge, yet I was able to follow simple instruction on the home page how to set up the component and how to embed the code.
What I am missing is the different color for different event

simple and great!!!

It does what it say it does. Great tool for exchanging your links with other websites and improving your Google and other search engines ratings. I would appreciate a small tutorial how to, otherwise you spend extra 30 min figuring out all necessary steps

If you want to build up your own dictionary or glossary of terms this is the best component to use. It's easy, it has categories, it has terms, it has search, letters etc... all in one

I would like to recommend this community tool to any newbies like me. I don't know how can anybody say it's too complex. Ok, it took me about 30 min to read the installation package, but then step by step you install component, modules and that's it... All is needed to be done is to play with it and change the fields as you wish. It's really simple and I fully recommended it to newcomers to Joomla or CB. I was bit scared reading other's comments about complexity, those who write it's complex, haven't seen the complex yet.
5 thumbs up
