SimpleCaddy
I had this working out of the box in a very short time. It is the mutts nuts of a shopping cart without all the overhead and bloat of a full shopping cart system. I managed to knit together a gallery and this extension to produce a stylish way of marketing abstract wall art.
Pay to Download XT
I installed this and it worked OK right out of the box, no problems. It did not have quite all the functionality that I required so I uninstalled it and joomla only gave me a blank front page after this?? I reinstalled the component and the site worked again.Not a big issue in terms of space occupied by the component if the download files are deleted but...

Having gone round in circles trying to get a redirection working with htaccess I found this extension and had the redirect working in 5 minutes!!! Hats off to the developer.

Phil Taylor's SPEED UP your Joomla Admin Console
I was a little sceptical about the speed up claims but there true, a staggering difference in access speed. Thanks Phil.

CSV Improved for Virtuemart
Takes a little bit of figuring how to use it but once you have the broad idea this is priceless. Thanks to Roland for his efforts.

EasySQL for Joomla, if you without phpMyAdmin
When I first checked this out and went to the home page and discovered it was Russian I thought bugger. Downloaded the component and unzipped and there was no help documentation either, again thought bugger. However, ever adventurous I uploaded it to my test site and it could not be easier. 95% of all the mysql functions have been predefined and you can very simply right your own query and see the results and then click a button and they are exported to a csv. Magic component.It is not quite as powerful as phpmyadmin but comes close.

I guess you missed metafly by Vince at jomres, metafly does all your mambot does but doesn't put in the head of the template, copy of an already existing excellent mambot.
Owner's reply

As I mentioned there was nothing available that had the specific features that I was after. I would like to know how it is a copy? Does metafly adjust the title and add heading tags or is as configurable?

I tested this on 1.0.12 and it backed up everything perfectly,however when I tried to install the backup on a different domain it consistently timed out.Cant seem to find any FAQS or documents for this,It will be a really good addition to Joomla when the bugs are sorted, I hope the dev can sort this soon.

Getting the simple queries to work takes but a few minutes.However trying to understand the more advanced features is not easy.Some demo screen shots or some understandable documentation would make this component and bot one of the best around.
Owner's reply

This component is a little tough to document! Would it be possible to provide a little more specific so I can make some improvement in this area?

Thanks

Jumi
I found this module to be very useful, I have created a couple of data accessing php files and loaded them into joomla via this module with no problems, this is simple to use and configure.The developers native language is not english so read the instructions carefully.

Ultimate PNG Fix Plugin (for IE up to version 6.x)
Creates havoc with the latest templates that use images in the menus.However it says quite clearly dont use it where you have links. I created a couple of banners and the effect in IE was very good indeed.Of all the ie transparancy plugins i have tried this is the best yet.
