JoomShopping
Although it's a promising module and having nice specs it was a real pain in the I was searching for an simple way to display items where people could make their shopping(cart)list from. Installation went ok, but immediately noticed that much was half translated in German. Couldn't even start using it because of unresolvable php-errors in the settings-panel and the add-product panel. Maybe because I'm up2date with my joomla install (J! v1.5.9, PHP v5.2 and Mysql v5) it didn't even let me start testing things.
The website is fully in German (but not realy a problem for me), the forum is deserted as the maker does rarely respond to mentioned problems of users. So, a total bummer for me. I'll have to switch to VM although it is way over-dimensioned for me.....

Hello Lastboyscout

we can not understand what are you speaking about. Many Shops are allready installed and working fine. What was the problem? Friendly speaking it looks like an advertising for a competitive shop ... We hope that users test them self and are not affraid because of those feedback.

Hope you write what problems you had exact. Maybe you even send us a screenshot of your problem.

ionFiles
The component looks en feels simple and straightforward. But it does the job not completely. There's no filemanagement at all. No means for uploading files and only a field for filling in a local (webserver)path. If there was only a dialog for selecting files (already present) in the webserver filesystem it would be a very easy to use component. Now it's hardly usable.

Hello,
Thanks for your review. ionFiles was intended to be a simple download client from sites and locations that may not reside on your local server. This means it is highly unlikely that it will ever support an upload script. Browsing for a file may be a very viable possibility though.

This is an easy and very straightforward component! Only I'm missing an essential thing here. The possibility to import Joomla/mambo users into your subscriberlist. At this moment the users-databases are completely separated.
