The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I've tried so many of these types of widgets and they never work... to the point that I'm sort of surprised that I even tried this one. It works, and it works real smooth :). Thank you for the awesomeness Alessandro!

Quick to configure and got it to do what I needed without trouble. Thank you so much for developing this, and making it available for free!

I needed to block some countries for a technology site to reduce the chances of design ripoff and cloning. I paid my $10 for the extension, set it up in a matter of minutes on my Joomla 1.7 site, got a little mixed up with block and allow settings, mailed the developer and got clarification in under an hour. Works like charm and can also be run completely invisible.

When I enabled "system mootols-upgrade" 1.2.4 today to get my Kuena 1.63 BBCode icons back, I lost rokstories on my FP. Installed this mod, disabled the plugin, excluded my FP and everything works perfectly. Thank you for this solution; I don't know how I would solved my issue without it!

I used the free smart former on one site and was so impressed with it, that I did a little reading on the Gold version since I was looking for something that would quickly and efficiently enable me to put together forms (data collection and display) that would reference fields in Community Builder and Project fork, so that I could pay community members in the context of given project. Making the form itself was cake (awesome WYSIWYG GUI) but ran into headaches with complex MYSQL queries, Ajax form updates and more -- Anticipating that I might have bitten off more than I could chew in terms of my www programming experience, I had purchased a month of support with my Smart Former Gold membership. IToris not only coached me through the logic of their system in a very timely manner, but also provided me with detailed PHP scripts / MYSQL queries for everything that I needed to do -- and when I still couldn't get it working, they logged into my site and got my first form working so I would a template to work from in the future. Money well spent for a very professional product supported by an excellent team!

I really needed something like this. People weren't responding to friend requests or site mail -- mostly because a lot of jomsocial email notifications get sent to junk. If installed flawlessly and was up and running quickly. Groups all showing up for group owners whether there is a new request or not is a little annoying if you manage a bunch of groups and I'm hoping to update it and send the updated copy to the developer when done. Small tweaks are easy to implement since the code is extremely cleanly written and easy to understand. Thanks a lot for the extension!

I'm sure that this app is great... but I paid for download and followed simple install procedure after having to add .zip extension to files so they would be accepted by installer, but nothing works. Can't make categories, groups, or add users... and no modules showing up to place in pages. Tried to uninstall and a page of errors like non I've seen before. I've written to the developer and hope to hear back. Can't speak for support (which may be amazing), and am not saying that this app isn't excellent -- but when I pay for something, I expect it to install and run, and uninstall cleanly if I don't like it. It didn't install out of the box, never ran, and wouldn't uninstall. No instructions on site either or dedicated forum for issues/support - just email to developer. I'm submitting this review as a warning to others who don't like surprises. This review is for v 1.01 / v 1.02. Please give the developer a chance if rev number is higher. Such a module is badly needed in joomla and whilst I'm being tough in this review, I appreciate the attempt to provide the community with an app to track bugs/feature requests.

So they made it a paying extension - 3 plans, all affordable, for a forum system that is incredibly clean and fast to set up. I got my forum up in 30 minutes including basic categories and forum zones, imported users and a custom template (mimic) that somehow chameleon-ed itself to my site's css. Yes there are little quirks here and there and fixes needed but for perspective, I made 5 posts and within 6 hours had gotten replies to all of them from 4+ moderators, and several replies to some -- on a weekend. I see Agora going commercial as a positive since they will be able to pay people to refine this already impressive package. NB No full fledged moderation available at this time but is coming soon, but there is a third party mod to email posts into the system and possibly another mod under development to email posts out. 5/5 love it!

This app is wonderful from the perspective of back end configuration presentation and installation. Features are fantastic. Templates are junk... even the ones that you can download as extra from their site are unusable/inappropriate for professional applications. Also Nota bene that if you're getting this for integration with Jomsocial... Jevents offers a lot more in that regard. After purchasing RSEvents, I had to discard it and hope to use it on a future website and move to another package. Again -- the programming and power of the app is great but the presentation is deal breaker. Possible that a CSS guru could doctor it up to look good but for the price, I expected to be able to turnkey. For half the money, this would be a fair deal.

I had experience with community builder and was looking for something more "modern". I'm blown away by the smoothness of everything from install to administrator panel and features to user experience. I'm very much looking forward to the collection of apps that folks develop to build on this. Great work guys - worth every penny -- thank you.

Fast to install, extremely customizable, flawless function (don't be thrown off by all the reference to windows... functioning perfectly on OSX, back and front end) and oh so smooth on showing buffer status by setting scroll bar length to currently buffered length. 10/10 Thank you!

The fluidity of image loading and display, combined with clean customizable graphics and great integration with highslide, with the added benefit of low level customization make this a fantastic application with tremendous flexibility and potential. Easy to set up, lots of information on the joomlanook forums, and Ken's presence there and dedication to supporting these applications is exceptional.

I bought this extension, which is part of a 5-element package, naively thinking that it would compensate for my lack of skill/knowledge in terms of activating refreshes of elements of a page. It's important for anyone who aims to buy and implement this extension to understand it's design an function, as literally stated in the above description. It refreshes any module that you place in an ajaxanywhere container module, on a fixed interval which you can control. However, this does not enable you to magically frame content in an ajax container and trigger refreshes in response to something actually changing. So basically, you get mass background demands and refreshes running, whether there's a need for a refresh or not. I'm sure that for some applications, this is great - but it's critical for anyone considering this application as a shortcut to module "ajaxification", to understand clearly what it does and doesn't. The only documentation available is the website forum, which at this time has no basic information in it in terms of how to pass data to the ajax container, what the use of an ajax menu item type for a page is, source code to set variables that will be seen and responded to in ajaxanaywhere containers etc. Responses on the forum can be very quick, but also quite delayed, so if you're hoping for a mod to enable you to implement ajax and move on, but aren't super savvy with java/php/ajax to start with, this may not be for you. As far as just setting content to refresh at a fixed interval in a given module position without consideration for whether there has been a change or not, this module is perfect and very intuitive to implement!

Amazing time saver - thanks for sharing this app. An"Apply " button next to the "Save" to enable users to mass replicate the same categories across sections without having re-input them after each submit -- or alternatively check box matrix for sections in the mass category submitter -- would be great in a future versions.

This did exactly what I needed it to. Processed large batches of pdf's without a glitch and then, without any further action, my rok ajax search is giving me results based on word and pdf document content. I wish that I could get it to index documents stored on other sites to avoid my having to copy and store them locally, but hey - maybe in in a later version!

Very pleased with this mod! However, important to note that OSX firefox viewers will need a firefox plugin, and that when you follow the firefox "get the plugin" links, it doesn't find it, which means going to the tools addons menu, and searching for the PDF Plugin for Mac OS X - and you would only know that from searching the web to get the name. Also when searching for the plugin on mozilla website, for some reason it thought my firefox version was 3.0 something, when I'm at 3.6.3 and wouldn't let me get the pluggin there. Not at all sure if anything can be done to tell the browser where exactly to find the right firefox plugin - but would be great, since the last thing developers want to do is put users through hassle to view content!

I simply installed this module and without doing anything else, all pages, including a photo library, load 10x faster. Amazing app... kudos and thanks to the developer(s) for this contribution.
