Community builder in my opinion is an essential addon component to Joomla for any community based site, giving users the ability to create their own 'personal profiles' based on fields administrators can set up. The forums are very active and the component itself is simple to use and set up. Whilst like in any component there are flaws, this one really extends the community nature of your site, by giving users their own personal space. And another testimonial to the component or package is the number of plug-ins available to community builder made my third party developers.... if it wasn't that good, you would not see this many plugins

Sobi2, is most probobly one of the best directory style components out there at the moment. Perfect for any category based listings system, such as yellow pages style directories. The ability to have an unlimited number of categories is fantastic, instead of being tied into the section / category system of Joomla, which might suffice for normal sites, but falls apart when you look at multiple level directories. The modular nature of the component, through plugins available makes adding extra features such as Radius Search, or Featured listings very simple, bringing further options to your site.

I would highly reccomend this component to anyone wanting to start a business directory.

This component or utility is an essential time saving addition to the Joomla package. I run a site with both Joomla & jReviews, and had to import a large amount of content into my site, before this component i had to play around with phpmyadmin, match tables and column names and it was just frustrating and time consuming. This component fixes all of that up, whilst it works well for jReviews, it also works outside of it as well, so is useful for those who want to add alot of content to their joomla site.

In terms of jReviews, that is where it gets even better. The component gives you the ability to 'map' csv headers to database fields, so you can say i want CSV header 'data-title' to be mapped to title, or title-alias, this is all done through an easy to use drop down menu. The component even allows you to save profiles. Overall i was very impressed with this component, it is a very valuable tool to my Joomla, and my jReviews based sites!
