Whatever Download
I needed to create a link to an image for download. Also wanted to create link to files without using the usual linking within joomla.

This extention is very easy to use, and have a great look. It's easy to style the download look by changing the css.

The only thing i can mention is that you cannot use the - in filenames. I had a lot of filenames or directories with - in, and had to rename them all. I could wish the extention supported the - the same way as it supports the _

Thank's a lot for great work!

Hi and thx for your Review! :-)

To allow "-" in the Filename you have to open plugins/content/wd.php and change line10 from this:

$regex = "(\\{)(wd)(\\s+)(file)(=)((?:[a-zA-Z0-9_.\/]*))(\\s+)(name)(=)('.*?')(\\})";

to this:

$regex = "(\\{)(wd)(\\s+)(file)(=)((?:[a-zA-Z0-9_-.\/]*))(\\s+)(name)(=)('.*?')(\\})";

This modification is UNTESTED, but i think it'' work :-)

Joomla Content Access Control
I have a site with 3 different departments, and for each departement there should be an administrator which are allowed only to update his own departments articles (each department has its own section) and create new articles only within the given section.

This extension not only handles this functionality, but is VERY easy to use. I was afraid i had to do a lot within my finished site to make this work, - but it was done within 20 minutes or so.

I do recommend this extension very highly, not only for the excellent functionality but also for all you get besides that - great support and help! Which is also an important part of an extension.

I needed some extra functionality besides whats in the stable version 3.0, and Helix sent me the beta version of 4, and it worked excellent for my needs!
I also needed an addon for jevents, and what do you know - he made it!! It's up for testing now, and i will be able to buy it soon.

I have never experienced such a great support/help before - i am truly am amazed!

It cannot get better than this. THANK YOU HELIX!!

Simplest Forum
I needed a forum that did not have all the "normal stuff" for a forum cause that would be totally overkill for my site.

My registered users should be able to submit and edit posts in an easy way and this forum definatly gives you this functionallity.

Very easy to use. In my opinion you need to do some css styling to make it look good though. But thats only a couple of css lines.

Very very pleased, donation is sent and well earned :-)

Keep up the great work, and thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Ignite Gallery (With Slideshow)
I have tried and used a lot of galleries in my joomla solutions. Mostly i have used Expose gallery cause it is very easy for the site-admins to administrate.

But i needed a slideshow and scrollers, and found this. And i must say i am so pleased, i can use this gallery in so many different ways. It is very scalable and not to mention easy to use. It looks amazing. It is also very scalable so it does not have to look the same on all joomla sites, - which i find great :-)

Also want to mention that in this version of the gallery the thumbs need to be a given width and height. I want the thumbs to be scaled according to the width of the thumb and not to a given height.
I posted a note regarding this in their forum, and they came back to me and told that there is a new version to be released within 14 days which will have this functionallity.
So when this functionallity is present this gallery definitely has it all! Really, it has it all and looks fantastic.

So thanks guys for this great gallery, - keep up the amazing job you are doing:-)

This slideshow is very easy to use, it's pretty and are very scalable. Simply the best!

I am amazed not only by the great slideshow, but also by the help and support Andreas have given me. I needed some extra functions which i did not have enough skills to do myselves. Asked Andreas to guide me along, and he not just guided me, he created a new file for me which included my needs. I'm blown away, doesn't get any better than this:-)

Thank you so much Andreas!
BreezingForms: Trinity
I used facileforms to make an order application within joomla 1.0. After updating to joomla 1.5 i downloaded the free version of breezingforms and imported the old packages.

The packages seemed to be running perfect within breezingforms, i only had a couple of issues i needed to change.

I had one issue i could not figure out cause my breezinform/facileforms skills are not good enough so i could not find a way to fix it. It was also important to be fixed urgently cause we had gone into production with the site.

Dropped a note to the forum at crosstec, and within an hour it was all solved - by Marcus :-)

I am really - really - really impressed by the service that are provided by Marcus!
He has made an excellent extension, and on top of it he also finds the time to help us out when we struggle. The support are instantly there, - just when you need it and not 3 days later. Absolutely fantastic and pleasant.

After this experience with Breezingforms i immediately bought the official version. This is really an extention and service worth taking care of.

Thanks a lot Marcus! :-)

Hi,
I was looking for a gallery like this and noticed the features of this plugin. I needed a gallery where i could select if the images should rotate or not, it should include text and also change be able to change the buttons.

This plugin has it all!
It is perfect for my needs, and i will use it within other sites also. Clean and simple, easy to use and also a good documentation.

Good work, thanks!

If i can make a wish i would like it to be a module. But it has to be a module that i can copy and use multiple instances of within my site.
A module makes it easyer to stay in place when i create the template.

This could have been an excellent extention.. if it worked.

My first impression was wow - this is so easy, flexible! But, when using it i discover that there is a lot of functions that does not work, which makes it unusable. Here are some of the issues i discovered before i uninstalled:

- trying to unpublish f.ex the subject field, but not working
- trying to make a field become not required, but not working
- when receiving emails, i do not receive all information entered. I entered information total 6 fields, but received information from 3 fields only.

If these things are fixet, i would absolutely love this extention!
Owner's reply

Thank you for your feedback.
Sorry to see that you didn't take the time to read the instructions even if I added them on each page of the component.

There are some fields that can't be unpublished or made not required (name, email, subject and message). It's a contact form after all. You can control this way the other fields.

The only problem is with the information sent in the message and that is generated if you use spaces on the name of the field. It will be fixed in the next version ( replacing all the spaces with '_').

I encourage you to use our forum or send me a direct email if you have any other problems and I'm sure we'll find a solution.

Very easy to use, and looks good! Like that it is possible to select what you want to show; week, today, all and so on.

I read all the reviews and was a bit worried that it would be difficult to implement this plugin. But no, it was VERY easy, up and running in 2 minutes!

This is an excellent video-solution, very powerful and with a great look. Thanks for the great work you have done here, and for sharing this with us :-)

I have spent several days to find a solution where i can include my own php scripts into joomla. I tested this as a last try, and was very very pleased.

In my case i have included a form created in dreamweaver which has both javascript and php code in it. And it works!! You really made my day, - so thank you for this great extention.

Great work!

NeoJoomlaBar
I am pretty new to Joomla, but are familiar with DW so i was very happy when i noticed this extention. This gave me the opportunity to easy create a joomla-template special for my needs.

I found a tutor which took me step by step how to create a template by using this extention. (The tutor was actually based another dw extention for creating templates.) But it gave me a head start.

I am missing the following when using this extention:

- There are two options for the 'Insert Inset' in your menu list. I suppose this is just a writing error ??
- I would like to have a'Insert Search' option in the menu.
- Also like to have a Insert date option.

Otherwise i loved this extention! It really made my day!!! Thank you :-)
