Autson Skitter Slideshow
★★★★
Great Slider...

Autson Skitter Slideshow
This is awesome. One of the very best. Has almost everything you will expect in a commercial-grade image slider. I was sceptic at first but very glad I gave its shot. One suggestion though is to include the ability to point the images to a specific media folder so admins won't have to type the image path every time there is a need to use new images.

Thanks you so much for this wonderful extension.
Plan route with GMaps
★★★★
Nice extension but could be better

Plan route with GMaps
This is very simple to install. It has several options to display the map - new window, same window, pop-up window and lightbox.

The only reason I am giving this a four star is because the light box does not seem to work for me. It opens up but the display is blank. Other than this, this free extension works and is in my opinion better than most of the commercial alternatives. Great job!

I did notice this problem aswell, for some reason Google sometimes blocks loading Google maps in an IFrame. I do not have a solution yet...

Smart Flash Header
★★★★
Great extension for Non-Flash programmers

Smart Flash Header
This is one of the best extensions for integrating Flash banner on a joomla website. What I like about the extension
1) You dont have to know flash programming to use this extension
2) You do not really need a flash s/w to create great looking flash banners

This is what the developer needs to do to improve the extension
1) Provide more transitions as add-ons to the extension to increase the current nine.
2) Provide option for direct upload of images/banners rather than pointing only to specific folders on the server.

Thanks for the feedback!

2) Provide option for direct upload of images/banners rather than pointing only to specific folders on the server.

Since version 1.1.6 (September 2009) a nice batch uploader has been added to the product.

Rquotes
★★
Promising but extremely buggy

Rquotes
I downloaded the RSQuote but have not been able to get it work with the database as it should.

Here are my observations:
1) The db quotes does not load.

2) Apart from the db not loading the quote in the frontend module is unpublishing itself which means when you add a quote in the component for the category, it is unpublishing itself even if you select publish and save.

3) In addition, the quote title does not display even when the txt quote which works unlike the db quote, is selected.

Based on the various submissions on the developer's forum, one would have thought that the latest version fixed all the known bugs, but that does not appear to be so.

This extension is definitely very promising if all known bug can be addressed and fixed.

I will advise the developer to check the latest version and fix known bugs.

Sorry you are having problems. I will post a reply on the RQuoters forum .

Great Extension, but will be better to have a module and plugin

Recommend Friends (old)
I honestly will have given this component 5 stars! The only problem is that it doesn't have a module or plugin to accompany the component. It will be hard to convince site visitors to look for and click a menu link before they can recommend your site to their friends. The site owner is the one that needs the favor of their site visitors, so the Recommend component should make it easy for visitors to recommend their friends.

So please come up with an accompanying plugin and module that will make this wonderful component a 5 star joomla extension.

Does not work with sh404SEF enabled

I installed this extension, but did not find it to work. I am thinking this is because I have sh404SEF enabled.

Honestly speaking, no matter how fantastic this product is, how can first-time users get value out of it, if they don't have a clue how to use the extension. Yes, agreed, great features, but of what use if there are no idea on using it???

The developers are charging for documentation and tutorial but the product is "free" to download. Well, great way to attract people to download the extension and then get stuck with using it unless they subscribe and pay the $45/yr membership fee.
