The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I had a small snag at the start - typically of new big and wealthy extension. I had so much request but due to some language barrier there was some snag in the support. But, do not get me wrong, the extension is one of the best looking around.

Flavio - the developer/programmer, is very nice and very quick to grasp and fix a problem. He is the guy to talk to.

Extension is sweet but there are few things that need to change or fix here and there. Like,
- Third party plugins and mods from Nooku framework, etc. They need to get handle on this vendor. It has some non-standard method of naming an extension which you may have deleted and caused you errors, and some problems during uninstall. Name in the manager area is not publish and I did remove it once but my extension died. Flavio said that was needed by Ohanah. So I reinstalled and its food again.

But the bottom line, Flavio can fix and give you answers. That is what I want for support. He is great and hopefully stays with them for a while.

I would give this extension an excellent except for those few snags and some threatening words from their supervisor.

Out of 5, 5 being the highest.

RECOMMENDATION: BUY

I hate giving negatives, but its my money that went to the drain.

I have looked and looked around for joomla 2.5 classified extensions (free or paid). Finally, I decided on this one, why?

1. The responses on pre-sales were very quick. Almost instant reply, considering the time difference from the UK.
2. Questions I asked were answered but not elaborated. I figured, its the way to get quick answer.

The web demo looks ok but not that ecstatic but I was thinking hire an excellent CSS programmer to get it to what I needed.

Now, I paid and even paid for a paypal module extension. This joomla extension is NOT cheap considering whats available out there, its in Euro too (1.4x US$)

Installed and tested and now I needed some support. Typically a new user will require support for anything to get it going quickly. I have documented all the support questions and answers and plan on publishing it in popular areas.

- Asked for support. I found out the forum was hidden from view. You will never see what you sent. She hides your request until she comes back to you. You will never know what actually you have sent and what the details were. If I know the forum is hidden, I would know already its a flag to run away from that extension.

-Waited for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 days. Then she came back telling customer, me, NOT to send spams. A customer sending questions and asking for support she calling a spammer. Of course customer will spam you with questions and more questions with no replay to any questions and to all the questions. You better have the decency to reply for god sakes. After you get paid you just took the money and hid it.
- That was the end of support. Then, waited again, 7,8,9,10 days. Said again do not spam me with too many questions or will not even give me answers or support, and said, SHE HAS AN INTERNVIEW APPOINTMENT.
- Then after 3 more days more I get some quick reply. But they were not you can consider support. Her answers to questions typically are:
a. You read the manual (But The manual does not tell you all and most of the time its not accurate and not clear and it was written for j1.5)
b. Then, responds and gives you answers like: Then, comment out the codes (which hella codes??, change the language file??, Its obvious really... What in the world you talking about!!!!
Who can understand what support she was saying.... And That was after weeks ago.

- Problems with USA date format using "/". She blames joomla. Says its joomlas bug. I checked the codes and RAM is the one adding the "/". But she never replaced the "-" with "/" all over it.
- Codes - Very messy. She lumped sum every single thing in one index file and its up to you look for the codes in a huge humangous file in 13444 lines of codes, recruitmentmanager.html.php. But then, it was easy for me then to figure out to fix the USA dates from there.
- And, this product was made to work as the main registration to take over joomla so a user can be either one of the choices. Do NOT use it if you are adding it an extension of an existing site using joomla as the main registration system. It does not work correctly redirecting to login or register, never did no matter how you try. You have to change the core.

There are tons more of problems with support and some not appropriate to post. But bottom line is NEVER TRUST NOR BUY DEVELOPER AND THIS PRODUCT IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE OR SIMPLE SUPPORT. ITS EXPENSIVE AND WASTE OF TIME.

RECOMMEDATION: DO NOT WASTE $100.00 on this product.
DO NOT BUY...

I thought this extension was OK. It installed? yes it did.

It is a customer need that when a new software is bought, a vendor must at least provide some decent support within a few to get the customer on their foot. This is also a way for the vendor to know about possible bugs and unnecessary things that needs to be fixed.

First - Forget about support. They will ignore your emails. Or, will maybe respond after over a week when the fish are dead already.

Second - Some of the setup buttons saved and do not actually work.

Third - A lot of image buttons and they all show up as generic when not in used. Its very veyr very and extremely ugly on the user front end.

Fourth - Forget about your template CSS and formats. It bypasses it and use its own. Can not even turn it off and its way out of style. Ugly....

Fifth - Searching? It does not search the description. It only search the titles. I found out after too many tries.

Sixth - NO Manual/user guide. If you do not have support, at least have the decency of providing a user guide. That is extremely rude without anything. Its called ROBBERY here in the USA.

Too many more negatives, I do not have time to put them all here.

I could have given them FAIR if there is at least a user manual.

Score: 1 thru 5, 5=highest.

Overall= 1.5

Recommendation: DO NOT BUY

I found this extension while looking for something related to it. But, this is awesome.

The only problem I have and I hope it can be implemented next release is filtering of Blacklist and No logging list. Maybe Blacklist is not a must since there are a lot of those extension to use, but ability to NOT to log block of IP's is really important. For example, google 66.249.0.0/24 which is clogging my logs. Most of those crawlers should be filterable and no logs.

Great extension.... !!!

I like this extension and it does what I really wanted but, there is one thing I need for it to do.

It forces users to fill out the user profile, but it has no option to logout. Users can not logout if they dont want to fill out the form. Instead they have to exit out from the page. The logout button has to be active to give them the opportunity to leave at that time and maybe with an XXX number of day, update it, if not, application will delete the user from database.

Then, that would be an perfect extension.

How do you make money when all of your very very good extensions are all FREE. You are one of a kind of open dev. I salute you for all your hard work.

Will use your donate button later as soon as I get the next paycheck.

This is the first one I marked with Excellent support.

Its very simple interface got me excited on this extension and so easy to configure. Simple, Easy and uncomplicated for both users and admin.

For $10, for a full version and support, what more can you ask for. This is a great almost free bee I think compared to most rip offs in you where they are. Its a good program and has excellent potential. Eric is so great and very responsive. Hopefully, we can expand on this extension to be a major force in booking system. I'd say, move over guys ... !

A few modules are probably required to make it friendlier for the front end users.

This is an excellent extension. While it is young, it has a lot of potentials and can be commercialized in the future. Suggestions:
1. For geo, you may want to use Google instead of asking to fill out the lat-long. The complete address should be able to pick it up naturally using google.
2. Need permission level on front end for authorized user to be able to add and edit games but not delete. Need to have a log to know who added, edited and deleted which field, games, date/time, etc.
3. CSS should have option to use current user template as opposed to internal css.
Thanks and beautiful.

I used this extension but quite a few times the site where it is hosted do not work. I only have 3 local quotes. I liked their quotes though. Another problem is, it is hosting up my web connection. Because probably that host is too slow or not working all the time, joomla waits for the timer and then the local quotes shoots up. Sorry, but had to deinstall it for the time being but I loved the quotes though don't get me wrong..

Its great. Had been running on 1.7x and now, upgraded some fixes to J2.5.x.

App is great and no problems with users. Love all the records kept together and accessible in knowledgebase.

Some people here need to get their acts straight. FREE is FREE and its great. You want a much better app, YOU PAY FOR IT... Its Free, dont complain. You dont want it, just uninstall it and PURCHASE a COMMERCIAL one. As if you get a better deal from some commercial versions ...

Huru took all his time and made a good and FREE extension for us. If you want it better, submit your codes and changes so it can improved instead of sqwalking around...

Having no Forum to find out more about issues is not helping.

1. The send button is not supposed to be enabled if checkbox / captcha images are not selected. But it is always enabled but no action if clicked. Once clicked, send button works.

2. The autofill fields are not locked. User can easily remove and replace it with something else not authorized.

3. The Send Button does not disable if checkbox / image not selected which is supposed to be per manual. No action nor message if clicked unless checkbox and image checked.

I love mintier. I have your FaqBook also and it works ok with me.

This extension is excellent looking but, it needs reCaptcha added to it, else, welcoming spammers left and right.
