ITPMeta
Really useful extension. As i said, works like expected and out of the box. Saves many handwork and hacking, specially on adding metas to defined URLs.

Users, NOTE: if you have your Joomla installation in a subdirectory, if you add URLs for adding metas, you must add subdurectory name to the URL Path too. In the URLs manager write something like /subdirname/your-defined-page-for-meta.html. If you don't add subdirectory name to the URL path, the added metas will not be attached to your defined page despite you add them in URLs and meta manager!

This extension does what expected. If you mean rich snippets are importent for your site, use it: it works out of the box, and can be easy customised.
Store for K2
The mainly importent thing for extentions, which are used on earn-money-projects, is the support. The developers of K2Store understand this and take your questions/troubles/feature requests seriously.

Earn money with K2Store without fear: the developers don't just code, they advise befor and after sale too.

K2 Filter and Search Module
More support, more functions!
This module earns all best notes from me. It is possible to use it on commercial projects - with this quality of support you will be not lost.

There are more functions in a comparison with other K2 search modules: i say just "working connected fields";)

A bit tricky is the arrangement of the search elements with the module own ordering options, but i went another way and solved this with the ordering of fields in my K2 backend.

Btw: last 2 K2 updates are not a problem for this module: i tested it by myself, and asked the developer. He answered, there are no troubles counted.
K2
K2 component is easy to use and easy to set up. It is mighty, you can built many powerful things with it. Thats the good side.

The dissatisfied side is: if you need help from K2 community or developers, you lost. K2 team doesn't care about community. Very very important bugs with thousends affected users, like duplicated urls issue, are not answered from team till year. The answers, which was given, was just "go away"-answers, they gave no real solution. Active users are just spamers for K2 team, which must kept away from posting through filling captchas, even after registering and more then 40 topics. In the forum with more then 13k threads is 1 (one) active moderator, who isn't knowledgable enough, like team members must be.

Yes, K2 is free. You can use it, there are many good extentions for it too. If you good know, how k2 works, you will be happy with it. And you can let it be, if you plan a project, which must earn money and you need developers help.

I use k2 at a commercial project and i'm really scared, what will happens with the project, if my knowledge will be once not enough and i haven't somebody to help.

First off, the right place to post verified bugs is not on the forum, as they can easily get lost inside any kind of request. The proper way to submit a bug in the K2 Bug Tracker at http://getk2.org/bugtracker - in there you'll see that we address ALL bug reports. If you have a valid bug please post it there.

The K2 Community moderators are doing a great job, far better than many other communities. If they don't reply to some request, that's probably because you didn't search first.

Now as for K2 credibility, I'll never stop repeating that: a) K2 is supported by a company that's been around since 2006, is profitable and going strong year after year and b) K2 is used by the most high profile Joomla! websites being built since 2009.

My ShortList
I was looking for an extension to let my users create shortlists of closer selected articles. But for my goals is such extension useful only if it shows beside of titles the article images too. MyShortList doesn't offer such possibility. I asked developer, whether he implements this feature and he did it. Beside of this he got some bugs away, related to my installation. Generally speaking: 5 stars for functioning, 5 stars for support, 5 stars for responsibility.

InterExt
I got this extension on my search for optimizing possibilities for javascript loading in J!. And the possibilities of InterExt are more various, as i searched and expected from it. Beside of removing of caption.js InterExt manages jquery, mootools AND mootools-more and loads scripts remotely from Google! With single InterExt you get all your js-optimization needful tasks done. That's enough cause to use it;)
bychilly_bang, October 9, 2012
Works as expects, right out of the box. Installed, checked versions of mootools and jquery, setted and published up, taked a look into the pagecode and realized cute thin chain to google:)

The possibility to host scripts and fonts remotely must be a part of J!-core!

Organizational Chart Menu
Works like expected and gives possibility to layout menus on a nonorthodox way.

Beside of this, if using it for a declared purpose, also for maintaining personal/organisation charts, it is very very sophisticated.

works fine, looks cool: who expects more, is to much fussy;)
thanks for the nice thing! it was here in JED a similar one, but only for J!1.5, and i can't fint yours long time. But finally!
Recently Hit Articles
Very interesting extention, which gives a user possibility to see articles with images, which are recently viewed.
The developer has added a image feature on my request and was very responsible on getting a thumbnail path bug away. 5 stars, only because there aren't more of them;)

Highly recommended extention and developer! I use this extention on a production site, it works like expected. Once i get a weird conflict of this and another extention. My email question to developer was answered quick, friendly and serious.
Another good thing is this extention utilizes Joomla own tabs/slides engine - this causes a better site performance.

Dropdown Articles
i like it. It saves page space, works fine, has clear settings to do the expected job the best way. There are only 2 or 3 dropdown article modules in the JED, but this is the one and only to use without any rottent compromise;) Just a nice thing. With itemId handling and SEF url's, one is best served.

J2Store
I must to say on the start: i used only demo on the developers site.
But for this idea i forecast a big future for this extention! This is a sole Joomla ecommerce extention, which uses REGULAR, NATIVE Joomla content items as shop goods. This means, you may use all parts of Joomla universe with your ecommerce items. The developer must only do his job good, keep bugs away and so on, and we get really beautiful ecommerce extention with long life and much usefulness.

Sure, the best thing is, that this cck build native joomla content items - this let you use all joomla 3d-part extentions universe with it. SMARTY as templating engine let you easy implement all plugins you wish.
And better support you wouldn't wish - the f2c-guys are proactiv, skliful and easygoing. All in all, if you wish well structured information on you site without deployment and running troubles, take f2c.

The idea is really cool - but i have not got the possibility just to try the plugin. After i published advertising text on my pinwall, the download was not avialable. sorry, but very poor. i advice you to try your extension yourself befor you post it on JED.

Sliders
aha, early adopters already in da house. yes, the plugin works, as expected, and will be supported, as expected. the nonumber art to code gives a feeling, the Joomla is a right choise.

the setting of this plugin (and for the tab-plugin too) is transparent and easy understandable - you must only read the documentation, copy the example, try it works and adjust it for your needs.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much :)

Instead of copying the example, you can also use the editor button to insert the example code...

This module covers 90% of thinkable possibilities, what a man can do with Joomla-articles, and it does this with uncomparable quality. Another 10% of possibilities are not necessary, redundant and wasting of the client budget.

If you buy Boris just as much slugs of beer, as optiones provided by this module, there are minimum a good pair of bottles.

Articles Anywhere
To tell the truth, i must write reviews for all extentions developed by Peter. This guy has incomparable deeply knowledge about giblets of Joomla - if you use any extention by nonumber, you can blindly trust, that the developer thought about all odds and ends of coding. And if you use any 3rd part extention, what must work together with extentions by nonumber, be sure, Peter forces it to work.

GeoContent
There are many ways to use google maps with joomla content items. What exactly i wish?
1: binding joomla content items to google maps,
2: showing of google map within a content item with a marker for content item,
3: showing of google map with markers linked to all content items,
4: showing of layer list near google map with possibility to show only markers from single or more layers,
5: building of routes and polygons based on content items.
There component and content plugin fulfill all of listed wishes. The price you pay for this extension is the price you pay normally for one hour of programmers job. For this price you get all listed functions and support with unreachable quality. You can waste you time with comparsion and using of other extensions, but if you regard highly your time, you will not use other then this one.
