Although I found a minor bug which is to be fixed in a future release, I give this extension a 5-star rating for its ease of installation, quality programming, functionality and support.

Looking forward to the next release for the minor bug fix (related to unsubscribing from topics/forums)

Keep it up!

MaQma Social menu
Encountered a few problems:

1. could not use the "hidden" menu style at all. this would generate grey boxes with no icons

2. Appeared incompatible with IE7. Only one social media icon would appear at the bottom of the screen. (and it appeared cut-off)

Because of this, client refused to use this extension as there desktops are all on IE7.

Could not seem to find any support for the extension on their site short of a simple manual.

Looking for other extension.
Owner's reply

Hi, couldn't reproduce it in IE7, if you get in touch with us we can check directly in your website :)

Issuu Plugin
this extension works. However, it provides virtually no control as to how the publication will be displayed.

If you want some control, I advise you use the HTML embed code provided by Issuu. That's what I did and was able to tweak how to display the publication on in joomla article with much more control.

Countdown
I was quite excited about this module. However, I couldn't use it because my client's site had a black background and the shadow/mirror effect used under the numbers made it look incongruous/incompatible with the site.

Looks like it would be perfect for a white background. so... heads-up if your bg color is not white.

Latest Articles by Fenri
Tried various others and this was the one I chose.

It's quite simple, good tooltips, good use of optional custom class.

Does not offer some of the options found in other Latest-news mods but it's well styled, simple and solid.

Well done!

I've used several versions of this extension on several web sites. It's FANTASTIC!

keep in mind that because it's such a powerful/customizable extension, leaving the J! core Contact extension in its dust, it's not for the faint of heart.

The built-in tips/documentation is very helpful, the captcha is also very clear.

Kudos to ai for this wonderful extension!

Event Booking
This extension was very well thought out. As stated by others it is very flexible and allowed us to do exactly what we wanted. Integration with Paypal was simple. Even small features such as "test mode" for Paypal existed allowing you to simulate a paid event registration.

The language translation feature is VERY detailed, allowing you to easily change various wording even if staying with English... without having to edit a text file, all within the backend.

The icing on the cake is the support. I did have a few issues which were quickly addressed and resolved.

Keep up the good work!

I've spent hours and hours fiddling with this extension and finding bugs right left and center.

As another user, who posted here, it's been the worst extension I've ever used - and I've used MANY.

I've worked with the developer extensively and support is very slow and poor. A very popular answer is "Our developers are now aware of this bug and it will be fixed in a future release". Meanwhile, you're left with a buggy extension until who knows when and when they release a new version, you lose a lot of your customization. You will waste yet more time re-configuring your modules/components.

As stated before by others, this extension was released prematurely and without proper testing.

Perhaps this extension works if you use very little of its functionality. All I can say is that i've tried to use some of its "features" and it's been nothing but headaches and wasted time.

I hope this review will helps someone else.
Cheers
