That's how I discovered Falang, and I must say the author has made a great job here.
If you used Joomfish before you will feel at home with Falang. The interface is even cleaner and easier to use than its predecessor Joomfish.
The instructions to setup the component are very clear, and eventually everything works 100% as expected.
One (simple) thing not to forget: Publish the System - Language Filter plug-in otherwise translations wont work. I found myself struggling for half an hour with this. But this is clearly explained in the setup instructions, 100% my fault, I should have read them ;)
Thanks again for the excellent work

The back-end admin panel is very complete and offers many options to configure and run the forum.
I had to migrate a site developed in Joomla 1.0 (yes it was time!) using the Fireboard component forum. I first used the migrator component with the Fireboard migrator plugin to backup the old content. When I've installed Kunena in the new site, it asked me if I wanted to restore the Fireboard content or proceed with a virgin install. And voila done!
Well... Almost ;) There is something that's not clearly explained in Kunena docs. It needs Mootols 1.2 to install and run properly. Which means that you have to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade (mtupgrade) plugin in Joomla plugin manager. Without it, the Kunena installer will end up with an awful php error :(
Apart from that little trick it's definitely a 5 stars component.

I couldn't find anything that worked better, unless spending countless hours developing something myself.
It works straight out of the box, and the css is easy to customize to make it look the way you want on your site.
Just a couple of things that could be improved.
1. The css is accessible as a parameter from the admin panel, and can be edited in a text area. Although the idea is good, I found it unpractical and moved the css to an external file.
2. D-Article doesn't pass the W3C validator. Ok, not such a big deal, a youtube page generates about 85 errors on the w3c validator! But that would be even better if this module could output clean xhtml.
Last but not least, the developer Dimitri is very responsive and offers a great support.
Thanks again

This is a must have for any Virtuemart site.
In fact, I think this extension should be part of the Virtuemart core installation.
You can have your products displayed anywhere you want in your site. With some litte css customization you can make them appear exactly the way you want.

Most annoying is the embed media functionality that... simply doesn't work. Not only it doesn't work, but if you want to embed a video typing the HTML code manually, JCE will just strip out your custom code! I had to revert to the non wysiwyg editor to embed the videos in my content!
Neither you can create pop-up window links as some other free editors do.
The image browser is good, but it doesn't let you browse the whole site. You're limited to the Joomla image/stories folder. It would be better to have access to the whole site structure, at least if you are administrator or super administrator.
Despite these few negative points, JCE work well. Apart the embed video problem, I haven't noticed any other major bug. It's also quite fast and efficient.
If you mostly use text + images content on your site, JCE will do the job nicely. If you have more complex content, or want to add some custom code and JCE doesn't like it, you may become frustrated.
Owner's reply
JCE has a Media Manager plugin that helps with inserting media.
Following the release of 1.1.0 'stable', the Media Manager SE will be available, with the ability to insert FLV files.
