Pretty Good, but...

Its true that there are not many comment extensions yet for J 1.7. This one installs easily, and set up is quite intuitive. Its pretty basic. There is no native captcha, but re-captcha works fine.
Its not clear, if you select the option to sign up to a newsletter, how that request is handled. I guess you manually go and get the info and copy it over to your email system.
Clearly this extensions is in development, but the big problem for me is that you cannot remove the url field. It can be made required, or not, but can't be hidden. That means I'm going to be deleting links to pharmacies and who knows what. So not useable for me on that one point.
One to watch, probably.

Not Really....

Tried it today - the light version, which is what this page is about. Given that the basic functionality as described works, there are a few problems worth a mention:
In the lightbox to enter testimonials the text falls off the right side.
There is no capture.
When it refers to a "Button" - its really a text link, not a button. The appearance is very basic.
There's no uninstall. It sets itself up as a native Joomla! module, greyed out in the uninstall components list. I had to delete it from the module manager, and delete the files using ftp from 'modules' and /administrator/modules.
I know its free, but when you think about some of the offerings for free....

Not Ready

Sorry, but you only have to go to the demo site to see that it doesn't really work! I tried adding 1 product to the cart. Worked. Change the number and update - doesn't work. Redirects to the front page, doesn't increase product in cart. Go back to store and add more product doesn't work.
Being in Canada, I can't imagine that it would handle our complicated tax system!
I wish you well with development, but won't be risking an install.
Owner's reply

I admit, the demo site isn't always functioning right. We need to reset it from time to time but unfortunately that doesn't happen automatically yet.

By the way we do have Canadian customers and are now quite familiar with the GST, PST and HST acronyms.

Great Forms Component

The thing that makes it great is how easy it is to set up a form with different kinds of fields. Drop down lists, radio buttons, etc. Easy. It is limited in layout, but the idea is for it to be quick and easy, so its a fair trade off imo.
The only downside - and I couldn't find where else to post this - Hover doesn't work on a phone. With the increase of the mobile web, I would like to have captcha without having to hover over the captcha code before entering the numbers. Its the only thing stopping me using it on one website now.
Other than that, its my first choice for forms.
