Profile Pro for Community Builder
The ability to offer users customizations to their profile pages via Profile Pro is exceptional.
The client was pleased with the HTML capabilities, multiple tabs and pages and the versatility this product offers.

We had a problem with CB's template, Coolness, in which a div name conflict resulted in a magically vanishing page. The vendor chased down the problem, which probably was not even his problem, and solved it in a timely fashion.

For the $30.00 they charge, this product and level of support are a great value.

Free Shipping Info
It only costs about $10.00 and really works well.
I contacted them when I need the $dollar sign to be in a different spot and they created another version.

The XML file allows for tailoring, so you can really get this to do what you want it to.

It's smart enough to know when items are removed from the cart and reports the status appropriately.

Previous Orders
Previous Orders module has the potential to be a useful tool, but it's not there yet. The $16.55 that I spent got me a module that will return individual items from a single order with buttons that will add those items to the cart. I don't know why it selected just one order.

I was hoping for a list of client orders, similar to the one already in VM Account maintenance and a button that would add the entire selected order to the cart.

I encourage the author to take this to the next level.
Owner's reply

The module will show ALL the previous orders for the person logged in, depending on how many rows the site admin has set in the module configuration.

So if the site admin has chosen to display 2 rows it will only display the order number and one item from the last order.

I am writing the next realease that will enable mutiple items to be added to the cart at the same time.

Thanks Steve

This is not a real complicated module. It queries out the discounted products and shows them with or without add to cart buttons.

If that's all you need, it does the job.

Mod Social
This module flowed right into the menu area and looked better than I thought it would on the first try. The back end selection list is good, but not exhaustive. It would be nice to have a "custom input" box for links not included, but that is a minor issue.

The author also gives a "support the author" link choice, which I respect.

Thank you for a job well done.

jLocate Store Locator
Although it could use a few more default features, this product works well. It's fairly priced and the support forum provides a few tweaks that should make it into the next upgrade.

One thing that would make it better is the ability to provide specific latitude and longitude because Google doesn't always place the stores where they really are.
If you are looking for a time saving, minimal fuss component, this qualifies. Buy it.

Emails for VirtueMart
This is a great product. I prefer to send out HTML emails instead of plain text and virtuemart often chokes on that.
We had a glitch getting this going because we had changed the core code to get VM to list the items purchased when the customer goes to paypal.

Yoel solved our problem in just a few hours. I was surprised to get such custom tailored service included with the $25.00 purchase price. I will definitely be buying more of the Intermind 360 suite.

RedMystic for Virtuemart
Red Mystic did a great job of getting our 1,500 product catalog into Google base. It also helped with Alexa.

You may be tempted to install this yourself, but the $15.00 installation fee is a real value for those who value their time.

VirtueMart AJAX Update
This is really handy if you have a large table of products. It's a little scary pasting the code into the browse templates, especially if you are not using the default templates. Save your original file, just in case.
But don't let the need to do a little cut and paste keep you from trying this extension.
The time payback is huge.

Auto-Frontpage
I am posting a warning about this product, not because it failed to operate as advertised, but because it failed to uninstall properly.

While it did un-install, it also left behind changes that it made to my underlying tables, or general files, that I have been unable to locate.

I now have articles hauling in menus, even though they don't appear in the article editor.

Thank you for your review John

I'm really honored to be the first extension you review here, and also appreciate the time you invested in trying out this plugin.

However I'm absolutely sure you got yourself mistaken here. Auto-frontpage do not create any tables and updates only one table - the one of frontpage. Obviously it couldn't affect any menus or articles.

Since you already bothered enough to try the plugin, open an account to review it, i really encourage you to review the source code - there is only one source file and it pretty simple.

I hope you will find the real problem of your website and hopefully submit a better review for auto-frontpage!
