CustomCode
The plugin is easy to install (just remember to publish the plugin after the installation).

Add the code to an article and viola, it works.

I previously used "wrapper" for this, but for some reason the wrapper broke the xhtml markup validation for that page. By using this plugin I now have better control with the output, and also get valid xhtml on the site.

Keep up the good work.

HTMLMap manager
Nice extension. Does the job all right and it enabled me to use images with nice rollover effect as a navigational map to the site.

Keep up the good work.

yrWeather
This module is by far the best free weather module out there. Could do with a few more configurable options though.

I was initially confused, but after following the installation instructions found under "documentation" down to the dot I got it working.
Mind you, I use 1and1 as my hosting partner, and had to configure the php to v5 before I got this working (1and1 use php v4 as standard unless otherwise specified).

Excellent extension.

Copyright and Current Year
Brilliant module !!!

Nothing is as bad as seeing professional sites with outdated copyright info, e.g. "Copyright 2005-2008".

With this module you save yourself for the embarrasment and let the system take care of the updating as you enter the new year.

In this module you also have the possibility to add text before and after the "year". Hereunder including html links etc.

This is a great extension, and with minor problems I got this working the way I wanted to.

Had to route around a bit as the extention defaulted to GBP as the mail currency. I simply had to replace GBP with EUR in the language file, and viola It now default to Euro which we use here in Ireland.

I also changed the date format in the language file to a european format rather than the standard US format."

It would be great if such could be configurable options instead as many users would have a problem figuring these things out for themselves.

Keep up the great work. :)
Owner's reply

Many thanks for the nice review. I've been thinking about this and the solution I come up with is that the user first choose the sites original language from a list and then set the dateformat and the currency.
I haven't thougth about that but it's a huge mistake by me to use the languagefile to set the dateformat and currency in the languagefile so I most grateful that You pointed it out to me.

Best regards

Simple Content Versioning
When updating articles on the live site it is easy to be a little to quick when updating articles.

This extension has helped me several times as I now can find, compare, and return to previous versions of articles.

This extension is easy to use and I believe it simply is a must for anyone looking to make life easier for themselves when working on a live site.

Frontend User Article List
I was looking for a way a registered user could get a list of all the articles, and was reluctant to give them access to the backend.

This module definitely cover that need, and in addition give a lot of other valuable info such as Published or not, section, category date, and hits for each article in a table layout.

In addition the user sees the deleted articles and are able to "revive" these if required.

This is definietly a must if you create a site and want to give registered users a better overview of all articles on the site.

This extension is just as described. Gives the user a few more configurable options such as alternative text for home option and also the opportunity to self decide the seperator between the different breadcrumbs.

Xmap
This is a great extension, and one of the first things I add to the sites I am developing.

Simple and easy. Highly Recommended
Spec Images
I was in need of an extension that enabled me to use different header images based on menu subsection of the site.

After a bit routing around I found this Spec Images which did exacly that.

Simply install both the component and module and in a few minutes your site is looking highly professional.

I must also here mention the fantastic support and with short responsetime, and wish Tom and Instantiate all the best going forward.

I value this extension highly and will definitely use this on many of my sites.
