I'm sure some of you gasp at the implications of this BUT it's just how good this component is. Unfortunetly, upgrading users to have super-powers didn't change the fact that the component only displays articles that the user has created.

Why still the 5 star rating?

- Graphics are A+ -- looks professional without any messing around
- Shows a list of uncategorized articles. I had 2-3 other modules to do this because people would forget to assign the article to a section.
- More stable then other code I've paid $$$ for!
- The ability to sort, search and filter is KEY! This instantly cut down on user comments like "what category is that article located under?"

My only request to the author. I agree with colinmac: add the ability to view ALL articles in the list that the user is able to edit not just the ones they own. Then create a filter that shows/hides articles that they created / edited / can edit ... ect.

Download it now. You won't regret it. (make sure you have php5 enabled. My own bonehead mistake!)

It took several searches before I came across FboxBot. I was looking for a EASY automatic way for thumbnails of DIFFERENT sizes to be handled along with the very cool lightbox effect. This script does both without errors.

Using JCE as the editor, I am able to construct an online portfolio using Joomla's built in articles/categories that looks great and functions much better then a thumbnail sheet. I am able to emphasize a photo and make 1 thumbnail larger then the rest.

Improvements:
Would be nice to be able to limit the bot to a category or section of the site.
Make the bot work better inside of JCE by automatically loading the last thumbnail.
