Jix
While I have just downloaded this extension and I haven't yet used it, I am sure it's going to be an improvement on the PhpMyAdmin mess I have to do every time I need to import/export data from Joomla.
Since there are folks that do not appreciate how hard and time consuming it is to develop these extensions and then offer them to the community for free, I want to at least let the dev know that I appreciate it and I am sure others do too.

If you don;t, please go ahead and continue doing it the hard way. Or, newsflash, why not offer to write the documentation yourself once you have spent the time to learn it? See how good you are.
After all, this is what "Open Source" means.

Thanks.

PS: if I do end up using it, I'll be happy to review it on my screencast.

CQI - CustomQuickIcons
Clients, jobs and trends come and go, but Custom Quickicon remains the most powerful extension for admin configuration.

With it you can create custom icons and links to obscure parts of the administration, if it has a unique link you can "iconize it" . Yes, even modules, making those text modules with copy easier to manage.

What I especially love is the ability of creating user specific icons. In a multi user environment it is a very nice feature.

Bottom line: if you don't use CQI you are missing out.

Sobi2
With all this talk of CCK for Joomla, I remembered only after reading their intro in the JED that, in fact, 3 or 4 years ago I used SOBI to build an Exact clone of the Joomla article system using SOBI so that I could also display some custom fields with those articles and search them separately.

Also, SOBI has an undocumented feature whereas with a bit of alchemy it can be duplicated, renamed and you now have 2 directories in your site. Completely independent from one another.

An excellent extension

Export Content
I love this extension. I can;t wait to try it between Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5 but I have used it several times in Joomla 1.0.x and it was a real life saver.

If I can make a suggestion, it would be great if it could be set to move also any html style modules so that any content in there may be moved at the same time.
But I understand that it may be a lot more complicated than it sounds.

Top rating!

JCE
I switched to JCE from a commercial editor and I find it far more powerful.

One problem I found is that it likes to rewrite some code. Especially divs. I have not research it yet and I hope to find a solution soon, but otherwise it is great.

Place Here module
I love this module. It's the feature Joomla should have built in.
