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.
dsmflash,
Thank you for excellent rate!

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.

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.
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.
My recommendation would be to charge something for the module and allow users to put their own ads in.
Just my opinion.
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!
