Great until it stopped...

I loved the module. Did pretty much what I wanted, is configurable to a degree, I could offer a couple of suggestions, but otherwise worked right and out of the box. I upgraded both Community Builder and Joomla to current versions (current 5.XX versions), and it continued to work ok. Then it didn't. Nothing was moved or changes - it just gives the rotating "loading" symbol eternally. Uninstalled and reinstalled, re-linked stories, made sure all graphics were same format - nothing works. Sent email to support site with no answer as yet, been almost 24 hours since problem started, and that's a lot of time for part of a website to not work right. From other reviews, I can only hope to get this resolved somehow, meanwhile I'm looking for alternatives.

Waiting for Upgrade

Have always installed and used this excellent app. It works as it should and is easy to use. I am waiting for an upgrade for Joomla 1.6 native, as I do not use the "legacy" plugin. Am concerned most posts and news on their site is almost a year old. Are they still in development? Will there be a version for 1.6? Certainly hope so, as this FREE Open-Source extension is superior to all the Commercial ones offered.

Vinaora Visitors Counter
Some exclusion abilities would be good. As site owner and admin I'd like to have my ip-address excluded from the counter. Otherwise though it may not be the best of all possible, it is the best I could find among the 1.5 Native mods for this purpose. It is good in that it plugs in and works once activated.

Doesn't Work

eXtplorer
The old eXplorer was my most used admin component. The new one just will not work. No matter how many times I change the chmod of the fetchjscripts file as instructed, it continues to pop up the message, that it can't find the scripts. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times with no success. This is very disappointing.

Nice Exterior, Not Ready for the Road

The Component looks good, and has the basic features needed. As Beta, it is definitely not ready for a production site. It should be remembered that many people who want to use CMS packages are not programmers or scripters, just people who need a good functional website. Joomla in general fulfills this need.

This component hasn't totally been configured for English users, with lots of French terms in both front and backend data entry points.

Also when configuring, the change-table function doesn't work, so Property Types is the only working function. I added Houses, Apartments, Land, etc., then switched to Towns or Department (should be County), but entries were added back to Properties instead.

I had to uninstall, will look forward to properly functional final release.
Reem Content Templating

Sounds Interesting, but...

I would like to try this - have installed it even. But there is no demo and very limited instructions. The author seems to assume everyone who runs Joomla sites are programmers, but some of us aren't. Detailed instructions and demos are would help those of us with a more limited understanding. I do know basic html, but don't quite get what this does. Is it for page layout or content layout? Does it insert content from elsewhere? Is for creating online magazine layouts? My favorite components have a lot of documentation, plenty of examples and polished demos. I'm not saying this isn't an amazing thing - it just doesn't tell me it is.
Owner's reply

Sorry for this confusion.
It is for content layout.
When you enter a new content you have two text areas, intro text and main/full text.
So you can imagine your content items as composed of 2 pieces of text, [INTRO]=intro text and [FULL]=main/full text, then go to the component Reem Content Templating, create a new template, draw any html layout you dream of with aid of the html editor attached, assign positions/places for the content pieces by writing [INTRO] and [FULL], so at content viewing this placeholders will be replaced by the original text.
And you can add to the layout the following:
- Static text, by hardcoding it.
- Modules by using the moslaodposition mambot.
and so on

At last,I'll manage to show a demo on my site for more explanation.
Thanks
