Doesn't Work on iPhone
byknoxbury, December 22, 2010
Mobile
This extension is ok for old mobile browsers, but doesn't add anything to current mobile browsers such as those found on iPhone and Android. The extensions doesn't work at all on iPhone (there is no menu displayed) and even if the menu worked, the full site is better on these newer phones than the mobile site.

Slick RSS
★
No Documentation
byknoxbury, July 27, 2010
Slick RSS
I installed Slick RSS easily, but I have no idea how to use it because there doesn't appear to be any documentation. I found a forum, but it mostly addresses problems instead of a providing a "how to" guide. Even after install, I can't seem to find the module in the Joomla admin section. So . . . if you can figure this out, it may be a good extension ... but without some starting documents, who knows.

Attractive Presentation, Still Work to Do

This extension is attractive and is easy enough to install; however, there were a couple of problems with the output.

1. If there is a "tag" that is a hyphenated word, the extension separates the words instead of keeping them together. For example, on the site I tested, ancient-future (1 word) was divided into 2 words . . . quite a different concept.

2. Somehow the loading of this module on the page knocked out one of my css styles on the rest of the page. When the module is enabled, the style is gone. When the module is disabled, the style is ok.

For your situation, you may not run into either of these problems, so in that case, I would recommend it.

Not too sure whats going with some styles being over ridden by Joomulus, I'd have to take a look at the site to give you an answer.

Not sure which version you are using but you may want to try the most recent release. I tested ancient-future and worked fine. If there are any issues with this please let me know and I'll try and resolve them.

Good for certain things, but for others

I want to love this extension, but I can't. As far as I can tell, this is only helpful if you have a certain set of pictures on ONE page on your site and you want to do a slideshow for those pictures. But to just make thumbnails for all the pictures on your site (or many of them), I don't see this extension being helpful (because for one, it will make a slide show out of ALL the photos on your site or at least the ones in a specific directory). Also, the documentation is quite weak. I tried to look at the Wiki, but kept getting "permission denied" notices (even though I was logged in). So, this has a lot of potential, but needs some better documentation and fine tuning so that it doesn't show pictures in a slideshow if you don't want them in a slideshow.

Ok, but not great

This extension will allow for a VERY SIMPLE cart setup, but there aren't many options for customizing and the product format is not standardized.

When you add a product to this cart, you will only add product number, name and price (and product options like size if needed). But there is no place for product description, product image or additional fields. You still have to manually add details like this to the product page you need to build.

And in addition to the limited functionality, the install requires an unzipping of the main package (no where mentioned in the instructions) and the help files are weak. Also, there are no products to "buy" on the demo site which makes it hard to demo.

This cart is also buggy. I have entered a product, but the cart software can't find the product. Also, I clicked the continue shopping button and it took me to an error page. Again, if you can't find anything else, this may do the trick, but if you have more than a few products or want more functionality, look elsewhere.
