Front End Editor
Ankit - your contribution is bigger than you know.

Installation was simple. Usefulness is WAY off the charts!

Us admins talk a good game to end users about the benefits of Joomla - "You can edit your content right from your site!" Well sort of... Once we take advantage of all the cool module and menu capabilities of Joomla to make a great looking site, we are stuck training the user on the back end so they can update mod_custom content and other parameters.

With this component/plugin(s) our lives are much better. The sun is shining a bit brighter, honey tastes sweeter. ...you get the idea.

Admins with end users managing their own content - download this NOW, no really NOW!

One problem, I didn't see a donate button on your site.

I'm sure we'll all find limitations (changing the template structure is a bit scary), but keep the updates coming. Massive Kudos!

VirtueMart
I have installed VirtueMart four times. And got it working on two sites. but only for a while.

Two major cautions need to be given to anyone that wants to use VirtueMart.

1. You MUST NOT be a Joomla newbie
2. You MUST know php

VirtueMart has so many capabilities it is compelling to download and install. But, if you plan a major store, you will need to know php.

If you are considering VirtueMart because it is free, its not. It will cost you many hours and days. Their forum is filled with posts from many people pleading for help. Many receive "me to" replies and many with zero replies that are months old.

If you want VirtueMart, hire a consultant that has at least 10 stores in their portfolio (and go visit them first). It won't be free, but you will improve your probability of success. For me, I'm bagging VM - its too expensive.

JCE
I have tested and used other editors looking for JCE. Now that I've found it, I have been using it (and my clients) for over 2 years with excellent results.

After you install JCE, at the bottom of the "success" page we see that the work on JCE is dedicated to his (Ryan's) father.

Ryan, he is proud of you.

JCE is fantastic!

Quality - excellent
Usefulness - excellent
Features - stellar (i.e. beyond excellent)
Configurable - excellent
Ease of installation - excellent

I can't say enough good things about this component and all the useful plugins (especially the latest image manager)

Wish - I wish all the blog components, forum components, and any add-ons that include html entries (e.g. editor text area) would simply allow JCE to create HTML for their application - all users and admins would benefit!

Anyone that uses this component should send a donation immediately. He has single handedly saved hundreds (if not thousands) of people hours-and-hours of time with JCE.

MjazTools Personalize
This is a cool bot - Great work.

Just for grins, I tried to use the personalize bot with the rokaccess bot...

{rokaccess !guest}Welcome Back {name}. How can we help you?{/rokaccess}

With this, if a registered user enters the site, the message is displayed, else nothing is displayed.

joomlaXplorer
After I create a Joomla install. The first component I add is JoomlaXplorer - 'nuf said.

Excellent component!

My only want is in the editor. I want the ability to find a text string, or goto a line, typical editor commands.
