Redirect Failed Login
This solved a redirect problem I was having when a user puts in the wrong username/password in the login module causing Joomla to redirect to a default login screen not linked to from a menu and therefore breaking my template. Spent hours trying to fix it only to stumble on this plug-in which fixed it in about 5 seconds!

Just what I was looking for, really easy to setup and does exactly what I want. The only thing I would worry about would be having the mailing lists saved to a text file on a web server - is this very secure? Doesn’t matter though, because you can turn this on or off as you like.

Thanks for the review.

Good point, yes. It's not very secure, if you leave it as it is. But only for those who know the extension.
Although, it is created with the ability to save to an absolute or relative path, which means you can save the file even out of your public_html directory, which is totally secure.

Moreover, you can save the file in a custom directory or wherever you want. Another user saved the file as the mailing list file of an external program, with a custom file extension (instead of txt).
You can do stuff to make it quite secure, quite easily.
Thanks again.

Regarding the other reviews here, let's not forget that this is a Beta product at the moment so there are going to be a few little bugs here and there.

With this in mind I downloaded the license manager and then the component, I had some problems installing the component so the people at JoomSuite took over and did it for me - within a very tight deadline I might add.

Once it was all installed correctly I was flying, the component does exactly what it says on the tin, and does it very, very well.

There are a couple of little things (already mentioned above), for example once you register there is no redirect so you're presented with the blank registration form again.

Also the documentation is a bit sparse, including the FAQs on the website, but I imagine by the time the commercial version arrives this will be up to scratch.

All in all I give this 4 out of 5, really as it's a Beta I should give it 5 out of 5 but I'm already using it for commercial purposes!
