ReDJ
A great extension is wonderful of course, but great support can be just as important (if not more so) a fact sometimes overlooked.

ReDJ offers helpful and active support when needed, making an already cool extension even better. I had problems redirecting url's with special characters in them, but Luigi helped me quickly solve the problem.

This is - in my mind - a must have ReDJ extension anyway, at least if you want to (continue to) enjoy the favors of mighty Google, which hates 404 just as much as users do. With ReDJ, you can easily remedy that.

Thanks again Luigi!

hwdVideoShare
This really is a very good product. It's really simple to upload videos and display them nicely categorized, complete with a description, title and length of the movie.

In addition, they have great support. Even if you're using the free component (which really is 100% free, don't know where the review before me got the idea that it isn't) you get support. I know, because I needed some help and emailed them. A ticket was made and within 48 hours my problem was solved.

The free version does show the logo of the makers below the video, but it's not disturbing at all in my opinion and for a component like this, I think you're entitled to show your logo if you're handing it out for free.

Sitelinkx
At first I like this extension a lot, until I found out that you can click that 'show powered by notice' all you want, the link isn't going away.

In fact, when I set it to 'no' I get TWO links in my sourcecode, and on every f@##ing page too!

Can't speak for others and maybe it's different for other templates or something like that, but I would strongly advise everybody that uses this extension and gives a damn about good SEO to check your sourcecode to see if there isn't a cute 'powered by...' comment line, with a weblink included to extro-media.de'

(and yes, I've read the manual too, nothing new in it about how to REALLY remove the link)

I'm definitely NOT working for this company (or band of merry men) but can say this extension works like a charm. To be sure, it's simple and straightforward, but if you're looking for an easy rotating banner system (much easier than the native Joomla component) you've found it.

MultiAds
This a really good plugin, but it lacks one important feature, which is why I haven't given it the full 5 star rating.

That feature is to be able to place the ads a couple of hundred words into the article. For instance, after 300 words, or 500 words. This way, if you have longer articles, you can place ads INSIDE an article, which -as many know- works best if you want high clickthrough rates.

Other than that, works very well and is easy to set up.

Linkr
This might not be one of the first extensions you think of when starting of with Joomla, but boy how handy it is!

Very easy to install (don't have to do anything extra) and it will save you a lot of time when you have a lot of content on your website that you want to link to from other points of your site.

Two thumbs up! (more if I had them)

This really is an excellent module. I've tried a lot of other (free) slideshow modules, but this one is by far the most customizable. Also very easy to install, no fuss no muss.

Giving this one 5 stars. Way the go!
Owner's reply

In version 1.3a there are more style parameters. But most of testers don't like this, because there are a lot of options in module settings.

I will add some customization options for next version due to testers' results.

I really like this plugin, but there are 2 things really missing:

1) Twitter
2) An option to easily add other sites.

Other than that, works perfectly

Akeeba Backup
Not all of us are Joomla wizards, but all of us do need good backup software. Joomlapack is not only very easy to use and also understandable for people with more modest web development skills, it also offers excellent support for when you do run into problems. This is the kind of feature that is sometimes underestimated, until you actually do run into trouble.

I had a problem with unpacking a JPA backup archive on a local host (MAMP) and the Joomlapack support stuck by me until solved. Thanks guys!

If you have this same problem, see [url=http://joomlapack.net/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,98/catid,39/func,view/id,18559/]how to upload local backup to new local site[/url]
