Article Lister
It took me a while to get this extension work for my site and it always shows an empty list. Turn on joomla debug message and found out the problem related to the SQL statement is point to JOS_ccategory and JOS_content. If your Joomla DB have a different prefix other than JOS_ it will show blank list.

//----
Here is the update that I have done to get the module working, it is very simple!
#####
locate this file :: modules/mod_articlelist/helper.php
#####
Within the $query statement, Replace the following::
JOS_content with #__content
JOS_categories with #__categories

Save the file and you should see your articles list now :)

Hope this will help someone who want to use this module and experience problems.

Best,
Gary

Simple yet powerful! Media icon is a nice touch :)
I completely agree with other user "It's everything you need to integrate videos into your web page. Simple to use and very complex in settings."

One little buggy setting thou, once you installed the component. You will see the icon under Joomla Component tab. when you click on the link: AllVideo reload, it prompted error ( 500 - An error has occurred). Nothing major, just hit back and go to the setting directly.

Wonderful work! Thank you :)

SectionEx
This is an awesome extension and it work well on our website. Unfortunately I experience the same problem Jeroenla mention in his post.

SEO options enable will cause SectionEX misbehave.

Here is the detail for my observation:

1:: SEO enable (Admin page -> Global Configuration setting)

Under SectionEX option :: Menu and Pathway Behavior

When it set to Front page like article links :: ->
Page article title link did not point to the correct article.
For example::

SectionEX menu show Article Title :: How to install CamStduio on Windows but it actually point to how to install openoffice.org on windows. All titles did not link to the right articles
PDF icon and Print icon behave normal

When it set to SectionEx like Article Links :: ->

All article titles point to the right articles. However, joomla build in PDF and Print function will not work. It show 505 pages not found.

I would love to get this extension working with the SEO setting. If anyone comes across the work around for the issues I listed above, could you please share your resolution with us?

Thanks in advance for all your helps and suggestions.

Best regards,

Hi, SectionEx works fine with SEO. You can check my demo site or google for other sites around the WEB which are using SectionEx. "jeroenla's" site didn't work because something was wrong with his installation.

About the Print and PDF Icons: Please read the SectionE FAQ. It is quite short and will answer your question.

Kind Regards,
Robert
