The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

At first I was a little bit skeptic about it - after so many disappointments, with free and paid extensions around. But this one proved me wrong, that still there is competent professionals.

The first two versions had some glitches, which was solved in a record time. Now I can easily say that this extension deserves the Excelente rating by far. The Excelent rating goes to the support as well.

I am using it for a racing car site and it fits like a charm, without any conflicts, working with images and videos. The most amazing thing about it is the "inteligence" of the slideshow for videos: any other extension that works with images and videos (the few ones that do it), can not have the "auto play" activated, or you will not be able to watch the video until the end, because it will skip automatically to the next slide. Slideshow CK stops the slideshow when you click on a video to watch, allowing you to watch it until the end - just amazing.

Cédric is very patience and responsive, also very polite.

I can not say anything negative about it, honestly.

The installation and configuartion is a walking in the park, no secrets, no surprises.

By far one of the best extensions I've been working with in these five years dealing with Joomla.

Keep up the great work, we are in need of professionals like you.

Very simple to install, lots of options, very easy to understand though.

If you need a solution to redirect groups of users or users themselves to a certain place on your site, this is by far the best and stable extension. Also, the contact with the developer, is very responsive and polite.

In my opinion, this extension can be installed and configured by beginners Joomla users with no difficult, in less than 3 minutes I had Redirect-On-Login installed and working smoothly in my site - and I am not an advanced user.

I used this extension for a magazine site, so that users would see news related to their states when they login. It worked so well that I deciced to buy the commercial version, which also is very affordable.

It's 100% recommended.

The plugin itself is very easy to install and configure.
I had a problem with it when I changed the template to one made by YouJoomla, the plugin stoped working. After a post on the developr's forum, a few e-mails and the problem was solved. The support is very important to make customers happy, and Carsten did an excelent job, with patience and very polite too.

I'd like to call your attention to the fact that this is the only product that does this kinf of thing for Joomla 1.7 and, even though, it is free.

Highly recommended.

I've tried to use it in a Joomla 1.5.23 with no luck.

First the postive side:

- Easy to install;
- Lots of functionalities;
- Seems powerfull.

Now the negative and really bad part:

- You are able to create the form, but when you add it to the Menu it gives you an error message and no form is displayed;
- Their forum has questions about this issue, but the answers did no help and the post is locked;
- There is no contact to the developers for those who use the free version, when using the contact us form provided in their webpage.

Unfortunately, for me it is useless, but very promising.

A simple module that does what it says: Listas the articles within a category, section and or category/section.

Nothing much to say, I've installed, configured and it worked without any erros in about 2 minutes, with Joomla 1.5 and using the ModulesAnywhere plugin to show the module inside my article.

Just perfect!

The module itself is promising and looks good. It's not difficult to configure and use. The only problem now is the developer, support and demo page that are in Russian.
I would like to read a little bit more about this module and others that the developer made, but in Russian is a no go.

Very easy to install and configure. The support is good, also. I am using it on a racing cars website and it made my articles more professional and eye catching. The plugin can be configured both by experienced and basic users, but if you have any doubt on how to do anything, just use the author's forum and you will be answered.
Highly recommended.

I didn't rate it as excellent just because there's no support, no forum, nothing. I've tried to contact the author through e-mail, using two different address available, but no response at all.
The plugin itself is great, easy to install and easy to configure. It's a pitty the lack of feedback related to support.

This component was released by the same developer who made XGallery. XGallery for me was a great deal and so is XMove. It's easy to install, easy to manage and gives you a very good control over the final layout, and on the top of it: it is FREE. Not just the applications are good, but the real difference here is the support, which is very fast and precise. Dana, the person who wrote this solution, is very responsive and always ready to help you to solve your issues. I use XGallery and XMovie in my website (a racing cars website), which has tons of photos and videos and I don't have any kind of major problems related to the solutions.

So, if you are looking for some stable solution with a first class support, this is your answer.

At fisrt I tried the Author's free products, and it was so worth it that I've decided to buy some of the commercials too. One of them was Lof SlideShow Pro Module. I am using it in a car competition/news site and it gave a better and professional look for my website. It's easy to install and also easy to configure. The only thing that you be aware is that it will have some issues with templates that have more than one JQuery loaded. But the developer is very responsive and give a very good support to solve this issues.
So, this module will be easly installed and configured either by experienced and rookies joomla users. It has a very professional look. The support is also very good.

Wonderful module, works as it says. The only thing that I miss is the option to make related videos, so when a video is finished the user has a list of related videos (just like Youtube)... but until now, the best free player I've tested.

A so nice module. It does what it says.

Pros:
- Easy to install
- Easy to configure
- Simple and competent

What it could have:
- The option to read sub-dirs.

Very well done!

Regards.

I've been using XGallery for a while and let me tell you, it's a great peace of work! Simple to install, simple to configure and one important thing: It really works. The support is also a 5 starts rating, quick, Dana gives a lot of attention and always try to help you, even when the problem doesn't seem related to XGallery itself. Great job!

Regards.
