The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is a really great program & is an easy & fast way to get a nice-looking form with your own custom fields into Joomla (without ANY programming/design skills), plus even has the added benefit of storing the emails received via it's forms (...so if someone sent me an email 2 months ago via aiContactSafe's form, a copy is stored within the component... this is also an easy way of checking the mail each day without having to open up an email program or log into CPanel etc... & you can reply to them from aiContacSafe component, too)
Lots of settings & configurations, but don't let that put you off if you're a newbie - instructions are provided in the component configuration pages, & support appears to be excellent on the forum, too (Note: we had a problem of the Captcha not displaying due conflict with swMenuPro - so if you use swMenuPro you may need to disable it just on the aiContactSafe form page). Many thanks to the developers for providing this to the community - Regards, KB

I really like this module, - looks good, super-easy to install etc - & thought it was perfect for our homepage until I noticed that it disappears after I log in (using admin account)to the front end... and logging out again doesn't make it re-appear either (I haven't tried logging in as a normal registered user yet).
I tried going to the developers site to find a fix but it's not in English & no translation tool or forum... Anyway, it's a really nice module, seems light & doesn't seem to conflict with anything etc & once this small problem is fixed I'd give it 5 stars(may I suggest maybe installing GTranslate module on your site???) - Best regards

I installed this module a few weeks ago & I'm really happy with it (in fact so happy I just went back to the developers site to buy the Twitter Followers version too...). Both modules are super easy to install & set up & are the best-looking I've seen so far too - BTW, don't let the commercial licensing put you off - it only cost 1.50 euros (about US$2.50?) for each module & you can use them on multiple sites, so really good value. Highly recommended.
Thanks!!

What can I say that hasn't already been said before? - installed it on our site, which only went live in late November & is still being "perfected" before we begin marketing process, so no marketing of any type whatsoever has been done yet - however, we are already ranked by Alexa at about 240,000 globally & about 2,300 locally, which is pretty amazing (a programmer assisting us thought when we hit #500,000 within days of launching that something was up!) and we'd had visitors from over 20 countries within the first month!. So I think that, as others have found, for us this plugin is effective & indispensable.

The developer, Matthias, is also terrific & very helpful - last week he even helped me fix a problem on the site which wasn't even due to SEO Generator (...I passed on Matthias's fix to the other company & they are incorporating it in their next release... furthermore he provided his help on a weekend, and without looking at my system either, just from reading the symptoms via my email - boy, is he good or what!!.).

Regarding the reviewer below who is having problems, or anyone else for that matter - It may not be the fault of this plugin - I've had no problems with virtuemart & this plugin coexisting from day one, plus I've also got quite a complex site setup (it's packed to the rafters actually!!! lol - more extensions than you can poke a stick at!) and I've had no problems whatsoever with this product (apart from the recent one which wasn't due to this product anyway) - and when I say complex, I mean complex - forum, download manager, virtuemart, video manager, RSS feeds, e-cards, membership/subscription manager, news portal component ... etc etc etc, plus also using Yootheme template...so I suggest maybe writing the developer an email before writing a review, as he is very helpful & it may not even be his product at fault, or try Googling the symptoms to see if anyone else has got the same problem and can provide an answer/fix (...also, if you have updated anything recently, sometimes the new updated version can be to blame, too).

I highly recommend this plugin & it is definitely is worth the small price it costs & it definitely works! Thanks again Matthias.

I cannot believe I'm the first to review this program, as I really like it. I decided to try it after trying a few others before (both free & commercial) as the others didn't really suit my needs & this one wasn't very expensive at all (from $10 depending on how long you want support), and I absolutely love this one.

It's perfect for what we wanted - and it doesn't "bloat" up our database with thousands of replicated RSS articles either (which are already available on millions of other websites anyway), and as we plan to have lots of our own original articles eventually this one suited us better, plus our own articles now won't be lost in a sea of RSS feed ones, either.

This was far easier to set up than the others I tried too (..tip for anyone new to this or inexperienced etc - if in doubt, just choose "use globals" when setting the feed parameters up! - you can always change it later if you don't like the effect).

But probably the biggest benefit for us when compared to some of the others I tried is that FeedPortal doesn't require "ongoing maintenance" every day, which because we wanted quite a number of feeds available on our site could have meant a fair bit of work each day (...some required manually grabbing the feeds - from each provider, one at a time - then you choose which articles you want from the lists of articles each feed generates, then you post them to Joomla, and then repeat for the next one, and so on - fine with just one or two feeds but with many feeds would have meant a lot of extra work, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...) - but with FeedPortal you just set it up, then check how each different feed displays (...you usually need to 'tweak' each one to get them looking nicely, as each feed displays differently from each provider - this isn't FeedPortal's fault, you'll need to do this with any such program..)- and that's it!!- Just forget about it after that!

Another feature is that you can insert advertising code such as Google Adsense into each of the feeds (at the top, bottom, plus in between every article, every 2 or 3 articles, etc)

I haven't needed support as such, but they are very quick to respond to forum posts (..my experience each time has been my fingers have barely left the keyboard!). Plus if that isn't enough, they're also very responsive to suggestions for improvements too, as no sooner have I suggested some feature I'd like to see added or suggest a new module to compliment the component etc when I get a reply each time of 'we're including in the next version / building it as we speak" type thing!' (ahem, and which, if I do say so myself, if added will make this product even better!!!).

I really like FeedPortal and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to organize & display lots of feeds, or just wanting a way to display a few feeds in a better way.

Just installed this today - and I'm already in love with it. Its super-easy to install, configure & use (you can even set the size you want the video to be displayed). Brilliant - thank you so much.

Like the last reviewer, I also installed this & then found out we needed to have a Template Monster account - we were knocked back by TM despite being ranked unbelievably well for a brand-new site (an Alexa ranking of under 340,000 globally & under 3,500 locally...)and it's a large website plus we are targeting start-ups (... people who would probably need or want to buy their templates....) - yet still rejected - so if you're a new site and/or have bad Alexa rank and/or bad PR you can forget it..... As said earlier, it should be stated in the description that only very high-traffic established sites will be approved.

Well, just like the earlier review below, I too thought the last version was pretty good, but this version is utterly brilliant.. If you need a site translator, your journey ends with this one. Get it quick before the developer changes his mind!!!
To the developer: Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this with Joomla community.

I can't believe I am the first to comment on this great little plugin (actually it's 2 plugins - you'll need both of them by the way....).I tried this because I needed to insert an Alexa Rank graph & other custom scripts, and was having problems with other similar extensions (which are top rated)... This worked straight away without any problems & is just so easy to use it's unbelievable!!!.... Just remember to use Tiny MCE editor (it doesn't seem to like JCE...) plus follow the instructions regarding setting up permissions in articles as explained on download page (instructions are easy enough even for newbies to follow)and you're set to go. Thanks so much for sharing this great tool with Joomla community - Highly recommended.

This is an excellent component and module for showing testimonials, and well priced too (only $14.99). I looked at the non-commercial alternatives before trying this however they seemed to lack features I needed. ReportCard on the other hand has Captcha incorporated (so helps protect against/ reduce spam), is native 1.5, has a module to show testimonials, is easy to install, easy to modify the look to suit your site, and the support I received was FANTASTIC (....I had minor problem with the calendar input not working on front end when submitting testimonials - I wrote to company about it and also suggested for future releases it could be removed altogether and instead automatically insert date with option for admin to manually input any date at backend if required - almost immediately (a day or so?) Vincent sent me a new version modified exactly to my suggestions......how good is that!). Very happy & impressed with product, and service & support was outstanding. Highly recommended.
