JoomD
Great extension by the boys as Joomla6teen. I had a small suggestion and Irshad added it within a few days and said they welcome feedback and suggestions to improve the extension. They assured me they are always looking to improve their extensions but it does the job just great at the moment.

If you want a flexible directory then JOOMD is your extension. It enables you to add custom fields which means it can be tailored to suit any type of directory you could imagine.

Well worth the $15 as it has saved me a heap of time.

Hi dubjohnston

Your ideas rock! They have been included in JoomD v 1.2 and I am sure Joomla users will like it.

And it is not just custom fields which let you create any kind of directory but there are features like Include each custom field as a Search option, Choose or Design your own template to match your site and many other features coming soon in the next version.

In the next few days, we are going to release two consecutive versions of JoomD.

I am really loving it! Immersed in the thought-process and further innovation for our apps.

Regards

Add to Menu
This worked straight out of the box and is a huge time saver. I have a large number of articles i schedule and having this little module saves me a minute an article. That adds up when you are scheduling +500 articles.

Thanks a million

Simple Image Rotator
I am using this module for rotating my banners. There were a few other extension for rotating banners but they didn't fade nicely like Simple Image Rotator.

It did take me a while to get the extension going. Like the previous reviewer, I had stacked images when i first loaded the module. I tried the below solution but my problem was the css. I had to combine the SIR css file with my template css file. I then had no problems in Firefox or IE.

The only reason for not getting 5 stars is;

1. had to make code change to get it working.
2. Would love to have a few more options regarding the banner integration. Additions that would be good are to choose banners by client ID rather than every single activated banner being used.

I know this is more a image rotator and not so much an banner image rotator. But it has a great potential to be the best banner rotator for joomla.

Thanks for the extension and keep the good work up

Smart Flash Header
This is a great component. I got a few other projoom components and to me this is by absolute far the best and most useful. It is easy to set and the instructions on their site, albeit not perfect, is enough to get anyone started.

LyftenBloggie
For developers who also use wordpress, finding an easy blog that does what you want isn't what Joomla is famous for. This blog program is great and if you have used wordpress before you will quickly pick this up..

Its a great blogging tool that i hope the developer continues working on. The only reason it didn't score full marks is because only registered users can comment (this really should be optional)..

I look forward to the next version.. thanks for the great work..

Very Simple Image Gallery
This is an easy plugin to use and is great for my purpose which is something that can be implemented quickly, easily and still looks good..

just make sure that when you reference the image in the syntax {} to use exactly the same file extension, ie .JPG or .jpg not one or the other. I was using .jpg and my captions weren't loading.. realised my images were .JPG and changed them and now working like a charm..

I can't wait for the developer to add a few more viewing styles which can easily be added into the syntax..

great work

Ulti Reflection
Great extension.. does it perfectly.. there is another reflection out there using class suffix but i like syntax better (thats just me).. this extension may look basic but does a few more things than what it may first appear.... I am a relative rookie and was going to install another reflection because i couldn't seem to change the pic size.. i did however using similar syntax as one of the other developers extensions (ulti polaroid)..

It could be a good idea for the developer to put a demo page of this extension with all the parameters available in the syntax such as height and width.

Very easy to use.. thanks

Ulti Polaroid
Nice extension.. the plugin is very easy to install and has good parameters which can be plugged straight into the article with Syntax.. the feedback below is not fair.. this extension does exactly what it is suppose to..

Simple Image Holder
This is a easy module to use and does what the author says. One great thing is that it has an option to center its position within the module. So many other module extensions don't have that option and some still don't play ball when you try and change the code to align center. The transparency option and mouseover is handy and so is the ability to include whatever link you want under the pic.

Thanks for the easy to use extension.

AvReloaded
This is a great extension. It has many options for both design of how the video plays and also what format the video is in. I am no CSS expert and some extension require design work done to get them looking right. I found the videos look great from the start and the parameters cover what you need but aren't too complicated that you need to be an expert to get them right.

One other thing the developer needs praise for is the website used to demonstrate and download All Videos Reloaded. So many extension don't have proper instructions or images of the different layout options available. The AVReloaded webiste makes it so easy to make the right choice from the start without spending an hour testing out all the design options. And because it inserts a button just under where you edit your articles, it makes it so easy to add videos into your articles without leaving the screen or pre setting up a the video features.

It would be great for the developer to keep working on the design features and different ways to display the videos.

Thanks
