Mass Menu
I would rate this EXCELLENT, as it is a GIGANTIC time-saved, but I could not find how to make it liek to a Chle Menu within a Parent menu, so while it created ALL of the menus I needed in one fell swoop, it put them into the TOP of the Main Menu and I had to MANUALLY move each one to the proper child menu!

Also, it's a small thing, but the email that delivered my component did NOT include a URL for the developer's website, so there was NO way to KNOW, for sure, WHICH URL purchasers are supposed to go to in order to consult the help forums

when I DID, finally, guess WHICH website it is supposed to be, that website DOES NOT EXIST!

Ossolutions Team, please do better! And please add child menu linkages to this fine component!

gLine
I downloaded this and wanted to use it to display author, section and category in a single line under the article title, as shown in the demo - however, without any cohesive documentation showing HOW to make this work, it's a little u-intuitive - which is a shame, because "gAuthor", another extension by the same developer, works VERY well, and is quite brilliant. Would have rated higher, but for the missing documentation

Extra Vote
I had no trouble installing and activating this nifty little plugin on Joomla 1.5.13.

Works as it says it will work, and the AJAX voting display looks really nice!

mtwMigrator
I had a HUGE website, with a GIANT content database, and found that by creating a new Joomla 1.5 install, and extracting using mtwMigrator, getting my content across was very simple, and fast. Thanks Mats!

Session Meter Admin
Install, activate, enjoy
Export Content
I would gladly give this a 10 star rating, as I sincerely believe it might solve the problems I am having with migrating content from Joom 1.0 to Joom 1.5... BUT
After playing with it a bit on my Joom 1.0 site, it seems to time out rather quickly, without my actually be4ing able to download the compiled data!
VERY frustrating - I hope the developers might consider using AJAX on this, to prevent server timeouts... those of us who are on shared hosting are likely to encounter this problem.

BUT - A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!
Owner's reply

Sorry to hear you had problems with the component dagnome.

If you post on the support forums I will be happy to walk you through how you can get around any problems you are having.

For those with similar issues, there a several work around on the export content support forums for sites with a large amounts of data or if they have all their data in the one section.

The easiest method being to break your data into smaller chunks by created a dummy section and then using the copy feature to move category(s)into it.

Then simply compile the new smaller section.
Note: After installing the data on the destinations site Export Content will allow you to set your new site structure up anyway you see fit.

Tabs & Sliders (for articles)
The Tabs solved a big problem for me - and did so quickly, and simply. Bravo to Joomlaworks for a simple plugin that works as it says it will! (Mac Firefox and Safari, PC Firefox and MSIE)

Load Averages values
This is a blessing for admins who would like to peek behind the hosting curtain and see why their servers are slow at times! Instant install, instant results.
Simple Image Gallery
installs quickly, pretty simple to get running - SIG PRO really is the Pip, though as it adds captions which are VERY cool...

this is a VERY, VERY cool 'bot -

What it can do in terms of Joomla site content personalization opens up a whole world of interaction between the site and its visitors!
Best of all, it seems to work for BOTH Static (Typed) and Dynamic (Section/Category) Content!

I"m diggin this 'bot a lot - thanks again MJAZ -

AJAX RSS Reader
The only difficulty I had getting this to install and run was finding enought me to put in the RSS feed URLs! it's WAY VERY COOL, and an incredible method of displaying fresh constantly-updating news within the Joomla paradigm!
Kudos to the developer Marc Stroz - this module totally rocks!
