Pro Sticky Message

Great solution for the EU Cookie Directive

Pro Sticky Message
This is a very easy to install and configurable component (Joomla 1.5). I've used it to configure a notice so that our site complies with the EU cookie directive that is now in force. (Note: We're not actually blocking any cookies from running until visitor acceptance. That's not what this component is for.)

The component element is the message store. Then you configure instances of the module to display the message. I made use of the conditional cookie feature to display the message to the visitor until they closed it. Then Sticky Message remembers that they've already seen the message.

I did have one issue. I needed to increase the expiry time for a conditional cookie. The support was very quick - same day - and very helpful.

A worthwhile component for the price that does what it says.
Akeeba Backup
The best way to backup

Akeeba Backup
This is just the best way to backup your joomla site. We run it with the remote control Windows application. Everynight, the Windows app triggers a backup on our sites and downloads the backup files to our local network. To restore a backup, all I have to do is upload the files and the kickstart script to my hosting account and run it. The script changes path information and prompts for database information to get me back up and running. Plus all the files and folders retain their correct permissions. And this is all in the free version!

We upgraded to the professional version because you can include databases and folders/files outside of Joomla as part of the backup. Plus you have more options for excluding items from the backup.

Akeeba just works. Its the best way to backup/restore or move/copy your Joomla site.
