JFacebook Registration, Integration & Display
★★★★
Really easy to use but limited support

JFacebook Registration, Integration & Display
I promised Cameron I'd leave feedback because I noted on his forum how great this plugin and module set is. Truly, it'll have you up and running with Facebook integration in minutes, but of course you need to know how to set up an application in Facebook.
Support wise, Cameron's site has a new ticketing system, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a good rating. I submitted three support tickets and a few forum posts, with very little interaction. Granted these issues were with Facebook technical issues and customizations, no plugin problems per say, but there are certain limitations of this plugin that should be noted. See his form for a post on how to work with Joomfish and get Facebook social plugins in the selected language.
Owner's reply

Thank you kindly for the review. Yes it is true, we have just updated our Forum and Support tickets, and they are giving us a couple of issues (like no email notifications). I am glad that you found the extension easy to use.
Regarding the languages, we'll be adding a small addition so that the appropriate language will load automatically.

Thanks,
Cameron @ MMI

AceSEF
★★★
Not much better than Joomla mod rewrite

AceSEF
I can't take it anymore! I've been tinkering with AceSEF Pro with add-ons for Mighty Extensions Register, Member, and Invoice. Having used sf404SEF on this same installation, I found the URLs to read better with sf4004SEF than AceSEF (Ex; /privacy/terms-and-conditions in sf404SEF and /privacy/terms-and-conditions/privacy in AceSEF). I don't want to spend the time to change redundant words for all URLs. Ok, sf404SEF didn't handle Mighty Extension components well, but after rewriting the few URLs, there were no issues. But it was after I installed Joofish to this installation that I wanted to try AceSEF, but both components fail so badly that I'm considering giving up Joomla for this project. For now, just stay away from both of these components until the next version comes out for Joomla 1.6. And you can add redirect to 1.6, so maybe we won't need to spend so much time with trial and error to see what works for which components. As stated earlier, nothing works out of the box, AceSEF included. Oh, and these guys want $39 bucks to configure it properly for you. Hum...
Jix
★★★★
Took me hours but saved me a week

Jix
Just got the hang of this component today as I needed to transfer articles from one Joomla site to another without deleting the articles in the new installation.
For those of you who don't need to keep articles in the new installation, just use phpmyadmin to export the com_ table from the old database, drop that com_ table in the new database, and then import the .sql file from the export.
Now for those in my situation who needed to add or merge the two tables, I couldn't insert the exported table in the new database because the table already existed, so I had to use Jix.
Using the downloadable jix .cvs files (had to unzip), I had to export individual tables from my old database in CSV for MS Excel (section, category, and content), then I had to manually edit and delete columns and cells to fit the jix .csv format.
Note that Chinese characters in article titles didn't save to the database, so I had to go back and edit my original .csv file, delete all the imported articles, then import the content .csv file again.
So it took me a while to get it right, but I'm good to go now.
