Don't you hate it when you log in to a Joomla website and you get thrown to some other page and have to find your way back to where you were?
I had hacked the login module to redirect user to the page they were on, but using this plugin is better because the modifications aren't overwritten when the module gets updated.
Thank you!

I first tried the free version and used a webhosts recommended by the developer. I've been very happy with my webhost for many years and was reluctant to use one unknown to me, but my webhost does not have FFMPEG installed on shared hosting accounts. The one I ended up using not only has everything needed to run this component but also has a php upload limit of 500MB and excellent support as well.
Enough about the webhost, the component is awesome. It worked right out of the box and any questions or glitches I had were answered promptly via the forum. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I wanted to make some customizations to the layout and found modifying the code to be easy enough.
This is fantastic for a free component and the Pro version was only US$32. Quite a value! Thank you!

I set up a cron job in my cpanel for the first time - it was much easier than I expected. I had always avoided the crontab, thinking it was too complicated.
Put this in the cron's "command to run":
php /home/[MYPATH]/public_html/administrator/components/com_xcloner/cloner.cron.php
replacing [MYPATH] with yours.
The cron job runs JoomlaCloner every night, which creates a backup file and ftp's the file to another server.
So now I can have all the Joomla sites I manage run a daily backup and transfer it off the live server to another server that's used for storing backups.
You can set it to delete backups that are older than xx days.

The advanced search does not give you the option of disabling (not showing) certain search fields, such as "country" or "district". If you're running a local real estate site, you don't want the county field showing in the search options.
It doesn't get any easier than this! This takes all the work out of displaying a video in content.

Yes, wait and you'll see many good news coming around this project :D

I needed to capture additional information from the signups, and it was easy to modify this component to add the extra fields both in the signup form and in the list of users in the backend.
Overall, very easy to use, configure and customize.

Using parameters I was able to write one include file for all 16 calls to the code!

1. Even though an html savvy user can set up a table in a content item, a website owner who does not know html can inadvertently make a mess of the table!
2. A nice feature in the Table Manager is the ability to sort by any column, which is not available when creating a table with the WYSIWYG editor.
3. Example: See the catering menus at http://mammarosascucina.com. These tables don't use the sort feature because it's not needed here, but it's very easy for the non-technical user to enter data.

The mambot let me display the table through a content item so I could have the print and email buttons, and add content above and below the table.
There was one problem -- as mentioned by Kent, GoDaddy.com doesn't allow temporary tables to be created in the database, but his fix seems to work perfectly.
THANK YOU, Claudio and Kent!
