AlphaContent
I ve been using this component for some time now and i do like it however as nice i feel it lacks support features and functionality which could make this a my favorite com of all.

Getting it to work with sh404sef in the automatic generation of metatags seems impossible ( which is absolutely key for a directory) and would be great if it provided a frontend editing for clients. ..

However its a free extension so cant really complain too much..

If you have any suggestions on who to make this extension work with sh404sef in generating automatic meta in the categories and section please advise..

I purchased this plugin for a directory that i am building with alphacontent and sh404sef enabled..

Initially i did not fully understand the documentation, however the installation was very easy.. to easy for me to think it was working so i posted in the forum and questioned whether if my configuration was correct and certain changes which had to be applied in sh404sef..

The support was just awesome .. got response in minutes, went on to skype with them, looked into my site and made sure everything correctly in place.

Now all i need to do is wait till google caches my page and see if it works as it should!

Thanks guys!
Export Content
After one week of testing this component and corresponding with support i decided to start all over again and just copy and pasted all my content items. Took a good hour but clearly its what i should have done at first. You dont know untill you try tho..

Shame tho the component sounded really good. I waited about 10 hours with it which is usually longer then i would use i component that is just not working.

I ve tested it on a few dummy site on localhost and always had problems..

I appreciated the quick support response and much as i disappreciated the fact the developer just trying to blame elsewhere on every post and not once component.

If your time is limited i would suggest just to copy and paste and save your self from headache.

If you would like to know what went wrong here´s the link to the support forum

Owner's reply

The component has been downloaded and used successfully 1,000's of times without the issue of aliases ever being raised once.

And try as I may I could not reproduce it.

You then posted back saying it was working which would indicate that it was an error on your end.

You then said you were getting a blank page under the category manager which is not controlled by export content.

I give you my opinion on what the problem may be.
As you did not bother to answer I really don't know what you expect me to do??
