The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I join Joomlabamboo just for this module! The flexible it gives you is unbelievable. And when it came to creating my responsive gallery to adjust to my users device (Tablet, iPhone or desktop) it just works! But Zentools allows you to do so much that it hard to believe its just a module and not a component! Since finding this module I have placed this module in everything. Rarely do you find a module or component that just works without keeping you up at night when it comes to the developers that post their extension here, but trust me this baby works! And if you run into any problem Anthony or "A" Man is there to shoot you an answer for any problem you may have. But once you get the hang of how this module works you are going to put it in every new project you start! Just logon to Joomlabamboo.com to see this baby in action!

Plus they have the most Responsive Templates for Joomla 1.5 and 2.5 on the market: Platform, Lifestyle, Colourshift, Responsive, Epicure and Vintage that have my clients thinking I am a Joomla Website Building God!

Every now and then when you log-on to Joomla.org you come across something special and this just happen to that something special!

I first purchased this component when it came out. And have been taking my time to learn it before writing a review. But what I learned is this if you ever used Open Cart before, then you already know how to use AyelShop!

The best thing I like about AyelShop is all the built in features that this program offers on day one: Reward Point System, RMA System, Affiliate System, Wishlist System, Credits System, Reorder System, Coupon & Gift Voucher System, One-page checkout, Guest Checkout, Advanced Sales Reports, Google Analytics integration, Multi Language, Multi Store, Multi Currency, Multi Tax Rates, B2B, Internal ACL systemSEO Optimized, Backup-Restore Tools, Geolocation and I can go on and on when it comes to the features you will find in this program.

The next thing I like about this component is AyelShop Support Team! When I was having a program getting a Module to work with AyelShop I shot it over to their support team to take a look at it, and after a couple days, they email it back to me working! Now how many developer would have done that without asking for a secondary fee?

And it doesn't matter what e-commerce program you are using this program lets you import your products, images and setting into AyelShop without any problems, nothing gets left beyond. And once you get your basic settings done (shipping, payment, store info) you are ready to go. Now if you do an import from Virtuemart 2.0 like I did you will have to enable your categories in order to make them appear. But after that this program really lights up. It just works.

And no matter what kind of look or effect you are seeking Open Cart extension forum has a Module or Template for you. There are thousands of Extensions to choose from or templates you can add by uploading them to your Open Cart Directory.

As good as this program is there are a few things I would like to change... but that has nothing to do with AyelShop, but more to do with Open Cart as a whole. One little pea is the Navigation Setup! After clicking on a product link, one would need to go back to the category section instead of being able to go to another product page; thus slowing down the shopping process. But I know a simple navigation module will be able to fix this, at least I am hoping there is one available or someone is working on one. Virtuemart, JoomShopping and HikaShop has the additional Product Link on each product page so a user can seamless move from product to product within a Category before going back to the Main Product Page...

But its really hard to point out a lot of problems or issues; because of the many features that's tied into the core of Open Cart you just won't find yourself needing a lot of Modules or 3rd Party Plugins/Modules.

If I had to rate AyelShop I would give it 4.5 stars just because of issues thats automatically carried over by the core program Open Cart. But if you are looking for something that will grow with your online shop, this is a product you should take a look at!

And take the time to read up on OPENCART 1.5.1.3! While a lot of you may know how Joomla 1.5, 1.7 and 2.5.1 works this is not joomla but a completely different program that has been ported to Joomla! The learning curves is very low once you understands how Opencart works!

I really don't know if this plug-in work or not? But I do know it creates a great deal of errors when it comes to the components and plug-ins that I have. When logging out of Jomsocial 1.8.7 it create an illegal key error, plus created another error when I was using Virtuemart 1.1.5 the new version. So until it has a little more wear and tear I am not going to use it. Because I can't have my members running into errors pages.

Another thing: placing the Siteground link on one page is fine, but when it places the siteground link on all my pages and throws my template out wack, I was left with one choice remove the link...

But what good is this plug-in when everything you have or want to use conflicts with it? Just do a search on this plug-in and it clear more than 50% of the people thats using it or have used it have un-installed it. And I still don't know if it ever worked! But I do know the link to Siteground website worked! And no one in this review section knows if it works or what it does? There no read out or any that shows what it blocked or prevented! Wait, here a thought and a scary one at that maybe the hackers was supposed to see the Protected By Siteground and run away...or find another website to hack into...

No one that have downloaded this plugin knows what this plugin does?
