This solved a major problem for me where I just wanted a single login page that would serve as the canvas page for a Facebook app. Installed perfectly, and did exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much for this.

I got so tired of checking my users every day and deleting the obvious spammers (foreign email address, never logged in, etc.) and didn't know if I was missing any. This is a local,public animal welfare site that relies on donations - don't want to annoy potential donors by deleting them.

From the time I installed this component (a couple of clicks and its instant), it has rejected many attempted registrations and sent me an email each time. When I checked, they were all correct and nobody missed.

Thank you so much for the great job. This is much appreciated.

JFacebook by MMI
An interface to facebook is an absolute requirement these days and the ability to allow logins and get access to the entire FB API is priceless.

I had just secured my sites with the OSE security suite and that caused some minor cosmetic problems with this extension, but my emails were answered very quickly (even on the weekend) and Cameron really went the extra mile trying to make sure I was working correctly and explained the basics in his support emails while solving every issue.

You can pay much more for FB integration, but I really doubt you can better support at any price.

This extension gets my highest recommendation.

PHP Anti-Hacker Suite by OSE
If you have ever been hacked you know the humiliation and anger it can cause, mainly because you know it should never have happened if you were doing your job right.

This security suite makes it very easy to secure all of your sites if they are subdirectories of a common root. This is the most common setup for commercial hosts.

It will require a little reading of the very well written documentation and maybe a couple of questions to support which will be answered quickly and in detail, but once you've done it you will have mastered it.

I can't recommend the OSE Security Suite highly enough. It will be a part of my tool box from now on. Don't be caught off guard again. Protect yourself and your clients. Buy OSE today !

Like several other Joomla extensions lately, you jump through hoops registering for a "Free" subscription before you can download, but when you try and download, you get an error saying you have to purchase a subscription.

I have no problem paying for a decent extension, I do it all the time, but I'd like to try it first.
Owner's reply

Hi Leonsmith,

As we have said many times on forum and mentioned above, that this product is absolutely free to use. So if you were not able to download due to any account issue, please contact us about the issue through support forum. Rather then putting your frustration over JED.

Thanks
Shyam

Qivva Calendar for Eventlist
If you use Eventlist, you must have this module. It looks good, installs easily, and works really well. I just wish I knew a little more CSS to tweak the stylesheet. Thanks very much for all the work you put into this great extension.

Youtube playlist player
When I first downloaded this I didn't notice that there was a link for the manual. So I installed without reading the manual and the popup tool tips were all I needed. Thanks very much for a perfect little tool. I'm going over to your site right now and donate.

Ninja Content
The Ninjas have done it again ! I just installed this component today, but unless I find any nasty bugs that can't be fixed, this will become part of my essential tools for all future sites. Great job.

Phoca Gallery
Like every piece of software in existence, there could be some minor improvements, but overall, I think Phoca sets the standard for others to reach for. Super simple installation, wealth of options and great performance. Facebook could learn a lot just from your uploaders. Thanks a million.

Load Averages values
Adding this to my core components that go on all my sites along with xplorer, clone, jce, etc.

Installs perfectly, takes up almost no screen space. Yoy can tell at a glance if something is going on on one of your servers.

Thanks very much for this.

XCloner-Backup and Restore
This is my most basic must have for a site right after joomlaXplorer. All my sites get backed up to a remote hosted server every night. Zero problems, plus they have other must have tools like auto installer.

Exposé bridge
I had the gallery up and running in less than ten minutes. The only part that wasn't obvious was having to right click to save the description text for my new albums.

Great job ! Thanks for this professional looking extension.
