PURPS is probably one of the most popular components on my site thanks to this plugin. It integrates so beautifully with my community builder profiles and looks so snazzy after I got it looking the way I wanted that I tend to catch myself just playing it to see how well it looks. The major reason I think the plugin makes this component is the fact that it encourages interactivity between my members and fosters a sense of community by having them go to each others profiles. This increase in profile hits helps make the popularity contest (also by nordmograph.com) that I also use on my site have more traffic and users. So in essence it kills two birds with one stone. I have not had any errors or problems with installing this plugin and it is very easy and straight forward in setting up and customizing the look of the tab. I highly recommend anything from this developer and I can't thank Mr. Roussel enough for providing CB and Joomla communitity some great plugins, components and modules.

This module is almost great. Almost. For the simple purpose of listing certain articles with local images on my front page it does brilliantly. The CSS is easy to edit and it's very user friendly in setting up. Also, the newest version of this extension does allow multiple instances of the module on the same page, which I think is wonderful. My only complaint is that I get serious errors and the module looks incredibly nasty whenever I have images from external sites. If I had only a few articles this wouldn't be a problem but I use another component to grab music news from major news sites which includes images and it converts it to articles. I use MFP to display those articles and it fails miserably. I've tried looking on their forum for a fix and there is very little support for external images. If anything they tell people to just download the images and store them locally. I simply do not have the time to get each image for each article and upload them to my site. If there was a way to allow images with external links, my rating would be perfect as this is truly a great module and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
