I'm developing a joomla site for a Horse "farm" (actually a stable house and small scale breeding)

I needed to have something like a Genealogy component, but most Genealogy addons I found were leaning on external tools, very complex, and not suited to convert to a pedigree

This component (I'm actually testing with the beta version 2.0) seem to come close to what I need.

I like the visual representation of the tree, if it now could be a little bit more enhanced, this will become a great pedigree component!


I did have some requests/comments which I send to the developer, who replied quickly. We yet have to see how fast certain requests can be implemented, but I've good hopes.

One of the nicest looking rating (or starring) plugins.
I would use this on all my joomlasites .... if it worked on all of them ...

But sadly there seems to be an issue or conflict with Joomlacomment?
On pages where the Joomlacomponent is active, it does not seem to work.

No issues at all on my sites without Joomlacomment!

I hope it gets fixed, because I would like to use this one over all other rating/starring plugins

but it seems to be more of a wrapper component.

it only includes blog or entries from that network, although you may be able to tie a "book" to your site, it all seems to be managed, stored, ... on their site

it looks good, if that is what you want to include

BUT : I strongly suggest to include that in the description, as it may be an unpleasant surprise for some people. As this touches the thin lines around privacy and security

e.g. sites which have disclaimers on what they do with the data of their registered users, have no control on what iBook will do with their registration information.

I was looking for a stats component for Joomla 1.5 (in native mode)
I came across this one and liked it at first sight.

I didn't need the full blown detailed vistitor analysis (as I'm using Google Analytics for that) just a component, I could publish to the front end.

up to now, this seems to do it well ... it is :
- light
- quick and easy to setup (took me about 3 minutes)
- and clear numbers

to the developer :

1 big downside, it renders my site XHTML invalid :( using the http://validator.w3.org ... before I install this component, my site is 100% clean and valid, after installing, 95 errors :(
hopefully you can do something about that

I would still recommend this to anyone looking for a light, good and simple stats component
