RS Cool Mp3 Player
My local church asked if they could put their sermons on my community web site.
Well, this is just the job - excellently simple and effective. Easy to set up with sufficient customisation to enable you to fit it to your template.
Recommend trying it

NGMenu Free
For a free menu this is amazing.
So much customisation, tree structure, colours for font and background and mouse over etc.
Place it wherever you like and a choice of vertical or horizontal. And so on ....
My site is getting ever more complex and this gem has made navigation so much easier and resolved all the confusion.
Excellent - highly recommended - 6******

Code7 Responsive Accordion
I had some issues with this - twice this morning.
Each time I e-mail Daniel and he reworked the module to meet my suggestions. And he did it very fast. Within three hours two main characteristics had been made customisable.
It is a simple accordion but clean, easy to set up, and works very well and fast.
I like this and know it will become a must use on my lowerteme community site.
And Daniel says he is still listening if there are any other things need resolving. Well done Daniel!!

Thanks for the great review and glad you like it, credit must go to Tristan for coding and making the changes to the Module though :)

AcePolls
This is a neat, fast and effective poll.

Having enough options without clutter it generates good user-friendly polling.

I have tried others but this is the best I have tested and I will continue to use it.

Born on this Day
I bought this because I wanted to add birth dates for local community members. I twice sent a request on how to do this and never had a reply.
OK, it was cheap. But that's it.

Simple Random Quotes
Perhaps because it is exactly what I wanted - maybe others were just to clever.
Whatever, this simple module is excellent and provides additional changing contents on my home page.
It is also useful for random announcements and other things - you can use your imagination.
Get it and try it!!

CMS Venue Daily Quote Module
I have never give a review less than 5* so far - so I don't down-rate a module easily.

There is no documentation or support for this unless you subscribe to the "members club" - two users have tried raising this in the forum and told abruptly that this is how to get support.

An extension with no documentation unless you pay for it is not a free extension.

It may be a very good module and I would have liked to use it but I need some basic information about using it -- so, I regret, not knowing what I need to do, I have uninstalled.
Owner's reply

we have 2 type of support:
1. we replay questions asked on forum issues dn that is a standard support.
2. we have a club membership and we are able to give a priority and Premium Support for them.

unfortunately we are not able to give premium support regarding the overload of the work.

we thanks to all our site members, free or paid, we will do our best and as fair as possible for all site visitors.

In the same time we have replied your question on-time!

Content Templater
This is a must have - something you appreciate more and more after you start using it.

It not only helps productivity but also helps to maintain consistent style. And it is so easy to get started and use it.

Given that it's free [well I know he would like a donation]there is no risk - install it and see how much it will make your life easier.

Find Us On Facebook
I get confused getting FB interoperability
But not with this one - open and complete the form - done and working.

IceNewsBlock
Of course an extension with so much customisation choice demands a little patience to fully understand it - but it still only took minutes to get the first page set up.

Now, with experience I can put together some great looking news pages in any category - or group of categories.

Highly recommended

There is so little needs saying - download, install, get this simple but so very useful module working for you.

mh Simple Marquee News Ticker
So easy to set up - clean easy delivery of content - no clutter delivering the message. Exactly what I wanted.

The average rating for this should,surely, be 5 of 5? Not only is the product first class but support is both fast, helpful and very friendly.

I have many extensions on my not-for-profit site mostly at minimum cost for obvious reasons but sometimes it pays to find the extra cash to get the best results.

I tried to find 6 stars and had to settle for the 5. Don't compromise when you can afford it; buy this and enjoy a great product.

ARRA User Export Import
I was going to put : Wow! So fast and easy!

Sadly the web site for buying (for Joomla 1.7 import} was very slow and a challenge to pay - but I did it.

And I found myself a little confused at first about what to do as I was not upgrading from 1.5 but bringing in a list from an external source that I had downloaded to an Excel spreadsheet.

However, once I had it sorted I was impressed - 10,670 records imported in a couple of minutes.

It all looks good - the test will be when I invite all my users to log on.

As it was a list without a password for each user there is the facility to specify a standard password for them all. Then I can recommend my users to log onto their account and change their passwords as required.

Well worth the mere $9.99!!

Thank you for your review.
We are aware that are some problems with current hosting provider and site is slow from time to time and we will improve this asap.

PHP Image Editor Lite Joomla
Now my community members can do even more for themselves - no longer any need to send me their pics to crop, re-size, edit for them.
So easy to install and use - excellent and so much needed - thanks.

Enbed PDF
For so long I have wanted to add Acrobat files to my site - many of the members of my community send these to me to display and I have been embarrassed being unable;
then I found this extension.
I had some initial issues that were most likely my doing, so I contacted Heinelt.
Despite it being very late in Japan, he attended to to my issues immediately and persisted to get a result and with such enthusiasm and service that I wish I could get everywhere these days.
Thank you Heinelt, I have promised a donation as soon as my own site secures its funding - people like you need and deserve support in return for you efforts and excellence.
Thank you.

Phoca Gallery
I have just installed my second - the first for my community site and the other for a friend to show off his photography.
Two very different presentations from the same component. And I am sure I still haven't understood it's full potential.
Very highly recommended.

Tweet Display 1901
Today I opened a Twitter account - and used twitter - for the first time ever. I was a real newbie, for sure.
This evening with the help of this effortless module, I have copies of my latest Tweets at the foot of my page.
Excellent easy, effective, and a real aid to my LowerTeme community web site.

JA Comment
Not only is this v1.7 friendly, it also does exactly what I need.
Sure, it could be presented a little differently and more options for front-end appearance would be nice; but, hey, that applies to almost anything.
I can work with the way it looks because it does exactly what I need.
AND the service is fantastic.
I had a display problem on installation - they just went into my site and fixed it - no fuss, lovely responses and good service.
You want a comment/feedback box? This is the one!

AdsManager
fast, no fuss installation - easy set up, works great. I downloaded the free version but might now upgrade to a paid version. Developers like this should be supported.
