Just one little thing. Current versions 1.5.2 for Joomla 1.5.x and 1.6.2 for J1.6 and J1.7 does not validate on W3C.
I would normally contact the developer directly on his website reg. such minor problems, but the contact form on his website didn't work.
All the best going forward. Looking forward to the W3C fix.

Hello Gaatec, I will look into this W3C problems, it was working fine last time I've checked, but now I do see couple of errors. Contact form on the site is working as it should, give it a try :)
Cheers

I tried a few different paths, and wasted 3.4 hours without success before I landed on this extension. After registering on the developers site and paying for the software through Paypal, I initially ran into a couple of small problems. A quick email to the developer followed by a impressive response, I was again on my way to success. I had created my images for use in my imagemap previously so I now had to simply upload these to the specific folder and within 10 minutes I had it all configured and working.
This is definitely an extension I will use for most of my projects going forward.
All the best to the developer. Keep up the excellent work.

Couple of wishes though:
1) It would be good if one could add favicon to the admin (backend) templates aswell as the frontend templates.
2) Would be great to see what the "current" favicon is on a template. (while in the component in the Joomla backend)
Other than that it does exacly what is says and will definitely be of benefit to many fellow Joomla users.

One problem I found with most of these extensions was that they did not validate the XHTML properly and therefore created a vast number of errors on the site.
Because of this I was looking for a replacement. I then came across SIGE, and viola, I finally got galleries that validated 100% without errors.
In addition I like the fact that this extensions have a huge amount of configuration options that enables me to further tailor my sites.
Finally the "watermark" feature is just great, and is definitely one I will use to protect the images better.
As i said in the title, this is by far the best image gallery plugin I have come across and will therefore recommend this highly.
Keep up the great work!!

I will do! :-)
Thank you very much for your detailed review.

I have used a couple of other Youtube plugins in the past, but found that none of them were W3C compliant.
That brought me to look for a new one, and this does the trick.
This one have a few nice config options such as size, border color and autoplay, which come in handy.
Only negative thing is that I have to remember/lookup the code everytime I want to insert a Youtube video.
It would have been more user friendly if I only had to insert the youtube url to make this work.
Anyway, that is only a small flaw so I will definitely use this plugin going forward.

I also verified that this extension has valid markup, so the only hassle with this is that you need to register with their website before you can download.
I didn't mind that part of it and therefore have to give them top score and add them as a favorite.
Well done......

This is the third Page Peel extension I tried, and by far the best one available.
There is another one extension quite similar in the JED, but this one does the same, loooks the same, AND is also fully W3C compliant at the same time.
Definitely a no brainer!!!!
Integrates welll with the Joomla Banner system, so you can add/edit your banners there and viola, you got a cool looking cornerpeel advertisement on your site.
Will definitely recommend this extension.

It is intuitive to install and use, and even support Joomfish.
I also find the support and forum great. I posted a question on the support forum and within 5 minutes I had the answer that helped me. Impressive.
Highly recommended.

Quite easy to setup and get going, but I do not believe this is for beginners.
I would have liked to see an easier way to setup automated backups including automated email of the backup to a set email account aswell. That is the only thing preventing me from giving this extension the full 5 stars
Owner's reply
Thank you for your review! The features you ask for (scheduling w/out CRON and email support of backups) are already planned for the 3.1 release :)

This exstension does exacly that in a self explanatory way. (I got this setup in no more than 2 minutes).
Simply install the component an dthe plugin, then activate the plugin, an dfinally enter the url rules in the component. Couldn't be easier.
I will definitely use this extension going forward.

Zoominfo looks great and the developer offer outstanding support.
Highly recommended.

The flexibility with aiContactSafe is just fantastic, and the Joomfish compatibility is the main reason I went for this in the first place.
I will for sure use this as standard in all websites going forward.
I would however not recommend this for beginners though as the flexibility (read complexity) herein might just prove to be to overwhelming.

I am not using Paidsystem due to the fact that it require users to top up their account on your site before they can spend. I see this as a major showstopper, and believe a simple paypal/creditcard payment extension is the only way forward, but such don't exist today.
I use Adsmanager as a catalog tool for a website, and it looks great. However, when used in that way it would have been good to have a shopping cart extension, but this does as far as I know not exist.
Finally, If you run into trouble with this extension and find your answers in the forum, then fine, but don't assume you will get any help if you post a question as my experience is that support is virtually non existent.

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.

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.

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.
bygaatec, September 22, 2009
The support is great and the forums have answers to most questions that arise.

Simply a 2 minute job to install this.

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. :)

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
