UberPageBreak
30 seconds to a small, elegant TOC to the right of my article. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Another day I am going to check out the coder's other extensions. I AM SO IMPRESSED. And grateful-- thank you. Still haven't tried the tab option yet (I think it would work well for this article), but since I can't give more than a 5 anyway...

Images Crawler
This is a beautiful, powerful, simple scroller, and I am very very grateful to the devloper!
Edocs - Embed Documents
Well, there's not much to say about this extension. Install it, use it. Nice display of docs on your website. Easy easy easy.

DMWebwork Admin Tipbar
Its a nice feature, makes clients feel cared for. And probably does save a lot of time explaining things. Its a clean module but it sure feels like one big ad to me. However I am not using it on my site but do think it is good for clients. I'm giving it a four rather than a 3 because its so clean-looking and functional for people with clients.

Simple Page Options
This is a beautiful extension, with lots of options and it works right out of the box. Its really cool you can set up a default text for the "email to a friend" page. Had to go in there and turn off that IE warning.

Just installed it for a to-do list on website tasks. Easy easy easy, looks good. Decent built-in quick parameters for size, colors, much more to ensure a good fit with your template.

I suggest you actually just read the documentation enough to see how to include the module in an article, then once you've done that, you'll see how it works and then can adjust as desired. The documentation is good but makes it seem more complicated than it is. That is just because it has so many flexible custom features you could use if you want/need, but that's no reason to avoid it.

I am *really* glad I tried this plugin.

Ajax Stock
First of all, this is not a free extension. The price is reasonable ($15), but I've had terrible luck buying extensions. I would prefer to try it first then pay to get ads off or something.

But, okay, I really want an extension that does this for J1.5, so I signed up, logged in, and tried to buy/download. Could not find anywhere how to purchase this. A search for "purchase" did not give any helpful results. Same for "how to buy."

The support forum is LOCKED. No way to ask a question. Eventually, I found the exact right click-path to buy the item. Then, when purchased, they don't have my payment and so I STILL cannot download it.

Later, I received an email with the file attached. Installed, enabled, saved. Checked my site:
"You don't have permission to access /modules/mod_ajaxstock/mod_ajaxstock1.php on this server."
Remember, you cannot post to their support forum. A site search for "locked" had one result, not related to my error. A forum search had many results-the fact that each topic is locked is well displayed. I chmodded the files to 755 and cleared the cache, to no effect. (Oddly, the folder was 755 but not that file.)

At the moment, I have the module disabled.

Sorry about your experience. You firs contact me via email on Jan 22 and leave a review on Jan 23. Please have mercy.

Also, for all joomla users out there, let me make it clear:

1. Support Forum is locked against porn SPAMs.

2. I provide timely support by EMAIL.

3. Once paid and Paypal notifies us by IPN, we automatically sent the program to your paypal email account. If you don't get it in time, please check with paypal to make sure the payment cleared and check your spam filter as well.

I've installed it on two sites and it is a one-second install with default parameters that work just fine. Reading the tags it generates gives me good ideas on how to tweak my content for best effect. Thank you so much for this plugin.

XCloner-Backup and Restore
awkward and doesn't work well. finally did get it working several months and upgrades after i first bought it. too bad it doesn't meet the simplicity and quality standards of the free component, JoomlaPack.

joomlaXplorer
see eXtplorer for the new version, much cooler. but this one still gets a 5, it works great from the moment of install. very intuitive. with this, you do not ever need a separate FTP client.

eXtplorer
between this and chronoforms, all is well on the Joomla! front (er, *back*... end) =)

be sure and download the most recent version (RC1 at the moment, I think)--the versions are not in order at the sourceforge page.

Akeeba Backup
I never thought there would be a better extension than chronoforms, but I was wrong. Thank you for this great great extension. The pros are: it works, easily, effortlessly. It is professional. It is easy to migrate a site using this. It is also easy to backup. The cons are: none that I know of.

Instant installation, lots of options, well explained. Able to define custom CSS, thank you thank you thank you.

ChronoForms
I have created some pretty complex forms, very quickly. There's not much to say, it does the job perfectly, the help/info things are clear. A great tool. I've only used the HTML part, but now I'm thinking I can use the other options to put the data into the database as well as email the forms. The developer's site has a forum on it. Pretty cool all around.
