However, it's missing some HUGE features. For example, you can't add custom text fields for additional property features. You can only add checkboxes.
Overall a good extension, but not for serious sites.
However, after the latest update, which claimed new features, absolutely does not work. You now get a 404 error and a 500 database error in the backend.
I uninstalled this and now have to look for a new blog extension. This extension is dead and there is zero support on the developers site. You won't get any replies to your questions.
Do not install this and may harm your Joomla install.

Simply does not work.
Owner's reply
umm... yeah it does work and is easy as pie.
Install, go to Extensions, Plugin Manager, Filter for OpenPotion... click on our plugin, change enable to yes, on the right, put in your web property ID (a numeric code formatted UA-XXXXXXX-X that is provided by google)
Or contact us.
If it still does not show... try disabling all your other system plugins, until it does work, so you can find the culprit conflicting. Good luck... and once you figure it out... please update this really low rating.

Pros:
1. great customization
2. looks great
Cons:
1. many times, it just hangs and tries to load
2. you will have to constantly update this mod, much more so than other extensions.
Bottom line, its never a good ideas to try to import content from other sites since you are at the mercy of a third party and it can mess up your layout.

Great enhancement for Virtuemart.

Plus, it appears that it will continue to improve.
A few disadvantages though about language customization:
1. It has a language feature built right in backend, but no matter what permissions you give the file on your server, this feature will not work, at least on an Apache. You will get an error message that you cannot modify this file. I chmod to 777 even and could not, so definitely an error in the installation somewhere. To get around this, you will have to delete the default.php language file on your server, and manually upload to have ownership. Also, you will have to edit this on your local machine since you cannot in backend even after having ownership and setting to 777.
Other than that, great component. Has some ways to go, but a must if you have a sports league. Simple to use as well and appears to have a decent support forum.

Installed, but on frontend got a bunch of errors that the CssJsCompress files did not exist.
Checked plugins>system and there were no CssJsCompress files. So, this plugin does not even install properly.
Don't bother with this component.

Pros:
1. add unlimited custom fields
2. great control over organization, package pricing, etc.
3. easy install in no time.
4. easy to use control panel
5. easy PayPal setup and integration
Cons:
1. Slow support for a paid component.
2. JomClan site lists phone support number , however I received no call back when i left a message.
3. No support forum on the JomClan site.
4. Needs more supported payment methods. Currently eway and PayPal are the only two.
I would recommend this component. No bugs to date. JomClan just emailed me and said the new version is about to launch. It appears to be a major release.
Cheers

dsmflash,
Thanks for the detailed review.
We are working promptly to improve our support team. I think I am the only component provider in Joomla! world who gives support via phone moving forward I will improve myself on calling users back.
We have also released the new version today. I hope you will enjoy that.
Regards,
Hassan Janjua, JoomClan.com Owner.

Pros:
1. slick, modern, clean look.
2. easy install
3. easy configuration. Almost no docs needed.
4. no bugs thus far
Cons:
1. Developer has hardcoded so his ad appears in ad #3 with his graphic. You delete his icon, but it reappears after save or apply. This is the main reason i gave a lower rating. I hate sneaky. I'd have more respect if the developer charged for the mod instead of this method.
2. Image must be manually typed in, which ads to deployment time. Needs a browser function to choose image. This would put this mod into the next level.
3. Need a way to have a title and not make the url the title. when you mouseover the ad, if your url is long, you get this huge popup. change backend so you can input a title and url, and show or hide each, just like joomla core.
How to remove the developer ad:
1. mod >> miniadspot >> images. Delete or save over joomla-layouts.jpg or delete it. Also, you could just set "no" to ad 3, which is the one the developer has hardcoded.
I'm sure the developer will comment on this, but the codes speaks for itself. Had to get my word in because you cannot reply to developer comments. They get the last word.
Cheers.
Owner's reply
There's not a single hardcoded line in this module. The code is clean and GPL licensed.
On the 3rd position yes, there's an example with default values, but you can always unpublish it. Even if this is a free module, you're not forced in any way to leave that example published.
Some other features are already made in the final version. You can find it in the forums, but it's not fully tested, this is why it's not in the download area yet.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Then I found Kunena.
- Smooth installation
- Tons of built in features - no need for a bunch of additional plugins, which is more to manage
- Attractive and easy to navigate control panel
- Control over many options
- Up and going in 5 minutes
- Attractive frontend and easy to customize.
Great out of the box. Haven't used long enough to find any drawbacks or bugs, but no extension is perfect or will satisfy 100% of your needs. But, this one comes close. And, it appears that the Kunena team is very determined and aggressive. I feel that at their pace, they will easily surpass Agora and the rest in popularity.
I am using JomSocial and I like the fact that they are targeting JS for integration.
Thanks Kunena!

Allows you to set confirmation page, drag and drop elements to create form, etc. Best one I have found so far and I am very picky about my components.
There's a lot out there in the way of form components, but this will do everything you need hands down.
Great component!

I would try another component unless using 1.0
