I absolutely love this extension. Easy to use, easy to customize, great documentation (and how rare is that!).

Moreover, although it's not yet labeled as being compatible with Joomla 1.7, it seems to work fine in my 1.7 site.

Gnome Tweets
Big kudos to Jeremy Wilken, the developer of Gnome Tweets, for recognizing the need for caching in a Twitter module.

I had been using Twitter's widget code, but having to connect to Twitter every page load was slowing down our site (and reducing our Google Pagespeed score). Since the site I manage is for an ISP, it looks bad if the page loads slowly ;)

I found a small issue with this module on Joomla 1.6, in that HTML tags get stripped from the before and after text fields. I emailed Jeremy about it and he responded promptly and helpfully, and suggested an override for the time being, till he can fix it.

I look forward to a future version doing *exactly* what I want, and getting an *Excellent* rating from me.

So give this a try! Couldn't be simpler to install and use. For most folks, it should just be "plug and play."

For those like me who want to customize a bit, it's relatively easy to do that, too. Thank goodness, the developer didn't load it down with a stylesheet - that's the last I need, one more stylesheet added to the pile - so I can just add my own styles to my own stylesheet.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the review, I've fixed the issue once I dug into the JForm library and figured out how to disable the filtering that Joomla 1.6+ does to remove the HTML. I've updated the downloads as well with this fix.

PHP by FWD
Have been using this module for quite a while. Really, we can't run our community portal site without it. We use it for php includes as well as more complex code.

If you're looking for a way to run php in your modules, it does the job. Just paste your php in the code box, and there you go.

Many thanks to the developer.
