Shape 5 Weather
I have this mod installed. It works, I'm satisfied with it. But when I compare the weather conditions it's displaying on my module to the conditions at Yahoo.com (for the same zip code) they are different. I don't know how often the module refreshes the data it displays, but it seems like it's perpetually sunny & 88 degrees on my module when it's actually windy or rainy.

Horizontal SlideShow
Got an error warning about a language pack not being installed, but it works - and works great!

Image titles are not showing up despite having entered them in the configuration. I went to investigate this on the developer forums and it's entirely in Turkish. Seems odd that I didn't see one post written in English, but maybe I'm missing a translation button or something.

Otherwise - great module. Thank you!

googleSearch component
I have just gone crazy trying to install a Google-based search extension for my site. For one reason or another, none of them worked correctly, or didn't work at all. I was initially turned off by this component because I don't want AdSense on my site, but I was getting desperate so I signed up with Google and installed this component and module.

Like others have stated, the component did not work until I changed it to "skip" in sh404sef. Now it works perfectly.

Thanks again.

RSGallery2
I am relatively new to Joomla, having taken over a site that somebody else created. I'd been using Zoom Media Gallery until a few days ago when the main gallery page developed an error that I couldn't fix. After getting no response from the developers and at their forum, I gave up and looked for something else.

After researching the many gallery components available for Joomla, I decided on RSgallery because it had the features I was looking for and had many positive reviews.

I just installed it this morning and am still working on creating my new galleries, but WOW. This is so much better than Zoom - I am really pleased. The interface is much easier to work with and it just looks so much nicer than Zoom (and I haven't even touched the CSS yet...really only a few tweaks here and there) I love the option of having different templates and I tried them all, but it seems the default tables template will work best for my site anyway.

I highly recommend this component for anyone needing a basic, clean image gallery. As someone noted on another comment, be sure to go to the config panel before you start uploading images. I also changed my thumbnail size to 100 (from the default 80 - too small, I think) and full size to 500 - I'm not sure how changing those numbers after uploading images would work, so do it first.

You get an excellent rating. Thanks!
