PreziHM

just perfect!

PreziHM
Normally I do not start using a beta version of any extension, but this one was too tempting. Having a prezi presentation integrated in your joomla site this way is great. I had to try it. And it is just perfect! Works right out of the box. Spending an hour or so with a new prezi, less than 20 seconds it is working on your site. Many thanks!
I would not call it a beta version. It is ready for rock&roll.

Lazy Load for Joomla!
★★★★★
very good

Lazy Load for Joomla!
It did speed up the loading time of my webpages. I think I checked all the relevant components on my site that contain images, and experienced no problems whatsoever. But that could be pure luck I do not know. On the other hand there is the possibility to exclude a component from being processed. Many thanks to the developer

HD-Background Selector
★★★★
straightforward doing the job

HD-Background Selector
I just use it to change the background colour of some pages; my template is a bit messy so to locate the right postion for the image is kind of hard. But probably this extension will do the job of showing a background image just as good as it does with changing bckgrnd colour. Footer as module position works for me, but could be template dependent
OSE RSS Syndicator™
★★★★★
That's how a RSS syndicator should work

OSE RSS Syndicator™
I have been using Ninja RSS syndicator on my website built in J1.5, and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work on my J2.5 website. So, I tried several other free RSS syndicator extensions. And I ran into all kinds of trouble, or did not want to spend too much time in solving seemingly minor issues. For some reason I missed OSE's component until now. It was not rated or reviewed yet. They seem very reliable in what they do, so I thought let's give it a try. Well, SMOOTH!! Very good guys, straight out of the box, everything works great. A module that would give you the opportunity to present various feeds streams via only one button would be nice, but this will do nicely also. Thanks very much
AutoTweet NG
★★★★★
it is doing the job definitely!

AutoTweet NG
Used the former version on my website for about 4 months. used it only to tweet my posts on a few categories. Absolutely great, it does what it says it does.
Last week I upgraded to version 6.3.3.: had an issue, only the link appeared on the tweet, no text whatsoever. Asked for assistance. reponse within a day with to the point solution. And the extension works like a charm again. Now I am thinking of trying the auto version to post on facebook. will keep you posted on my experience.

One thing though: it seems that they knew that installing over the old version could lead to issues, so a clean re-install was advised when I mentioned the above issue; would be a good idea to have this mentioned in the instruction (at least I missed that part in the instruction), but hey it is free and with the support they gave: absolutely excellent! Thanks guys.

Site Lock

just perfect

Site Lock
Well, what is there to say about an extension that works right out of the box? Right, nothing else than: thank you guys for this marvellous component for free! It is straightforward, and very easy to set up. Create your own offline text, but the really good thing is that you can have your client (allowing him access with his own username and password) see what you've changed while others cannot. Just perfect.
EU e-Privacy Directive
★★★★★
Great support!, very functional, looks could be better

EU e-Privacy Directive
I want to comply to what is necessary by law. So I started to look at e-privay plugins. Did not want to kick off spending money for something that is not that important to me (as my site is absolutely non-intrusive considering the information and cookies involved). I installed Mike Richey's plugin. Discovered some issues, sent a message to the developer, and within minutes (absolutely true) got response. And Mike started to work on it. Two days later he had sorted out several things, and improved the plugin. It was not only that he likes to help you, but he also wants to make his product perfect.
Must say, that there are some commercial plugins which look nicer. But this one really does what is promised, and if not Mike takes care of it. Of course you have to customise some text if you are critical about how you present your website's content .... who's talking...
Importantly, visitors are able to reconsider their choice on cookie acceptance at all times. This is visitor friendly, of course, and shows you are serious about e-privacy/cookie use. A job well done and ongoing progress if you run into issues.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I apply that to the support I give, as well as the promises I make. I provide good support because I expect good support.

Thanks for your great review!

Global News
★★★★★
Can it become any better
bymacuncles, July 20, 2012
Global News
After been busy for quite a few hours to try and find a module that would display my news articles the way I wanted, I found Global News. I had installed several (many) other modules first to figure out their features, many times the reason was that the documentation was minimal. So, to know how the module really works you have to try them first, and abandon them again. Several had not so good scripts. But then I found Global News ( and Filtered News, which is just as good). This one did exactly what I needed. Present three boxes which contain news items from three different categories.
Everything is customisable. I like developers who accept that their idea of what looks nice does not necessarily match the idea of the customer. And more importantly, allow easy customising via the back-end. It took me about 15 minutes to have it up and running to my likings, from scratch (download, install , the lot). This is really very good work!. Vargas, thanks.
Susnet Pinterest Sidebar
★★★★
Job well done
bymacuncles, July 13, 2012
Susnet Pinterest Sidebar
A follow my Pinterest sidebar is just what I needed, so when I found this one I hoped I could forget about getting one of those buttons, which do not showcase what you have pinned. Well, this sidebar worked right out of the box! easy change of the looks, but one minor issue remains: the pins are a randomly cropped part of the pin and not like in pinterest itself a thumbnail of the original. If that will be the case the rating will go up to excellent.
Komento
★★★★
easy and clean
bymacuncles, June 1, 2012
Komento
As a very satisfied customer of easyblog and searching for a good commenting system, I thought it would be a good idea to give Komento a try. I am glad I did. the free version has just one template, but this one is nice and clean (which I prefer), and easy adjustable via the CSS. Had a few issues that were extremely fast resolved by the support team. Really great. They even took a few suggestions on board to improve the next version, so they said. When looking for a flexible, easy to adjust commenting system for J2.5, with lots of features, Komento is worth a try, definitely.
News Calendar
★★★★
just about perfect
bymacuncles, April 21, 2012
News Calendar
I was looking for this for quite some time now; not able to develop it myself, I have to rely on others. Well, Vargas is one of the best with this extension; easy to setup, to adjust; I had an issue with the popup screen but after changing the margin of the popup (in the css) I could flawlessly move to the popup without losing its appearance. Minor thing with the popup border, sometimes the border is out of sight. When it really bothers me I might ask for some support. Way to go Vargas, keep up the good work. Thanks
EasyBlog
★★★★★
Nice blog component; good support
bymacuncles, January 3, 2012
EasyBlog
the looks are easily configurable with the css provided (I am an autodidact); when I had an issue with compatibilities between easyblog and another extension on my site, they even tweaked the other extension, so everything worked fine again; probably the issue was a mere php notice, but I wouldn't try my luck; the back-office solved it; great work; many thanx
Popup Anywhere

Popup Anywhere
Guys, this one really rocks. Have been looking for a popup plugin that allows for some decent tailoring of the settings. I do want my visitors to be notified, but I don not want to bother them with persisten popups. Well, Popup Anywhere is just what I wanted, after an hour of disappointing trials with other plugins/modules. As you are able to set the time for the cookie to expire you can make this popup appear once, and again when the browser was closed or not again in the time set (expiration time of cookie). Add a picture, an article, include a weblink. Whatever you want. Even a few different templates of the popup are provided. Just what I wanted. Thank you very much.

Special thanks you !

Tabs
★★★★★
absolutely awesome plugin
bymacuncles, June 12, 2011
Tabs
Having a website that is ever expanding with content, I needed a tool that allows for easy navigating my pages without too much scrolling. Tabs on the page within articles should do the trick. So I needed a plugin to assit me in this. Well, Tabber does the job. It is simple to use as soon as you sort out that it is merely the {tab=title}txt{/tabs} around the text, and this text could be in a table, that does the trick. Styling is easy and the CSS is very straighforward, so it is easy to adjust the tabs to your liking. And I am not very experienced with this CSS stuff. Great work guys. Thanx.
News Show Pro GK4
★★★★★
Awesome module to show your news and other content
bymacuncles, May 31, 2011
News Show Pro GK4
This module has got all the assets essential for users to be supported in their activities in their sites: easy install, easy to configure (out of the box, no manual needed), supports K2. It is just as Gman20 has said: apart from respect it deserves a donation.
Thank you very much for this great extension

j4age
Moos is satisfied
bymacuncles, October 2, 2010
j4age
Have been using joomlawatch up till yesterday. and I was satisfied, until I upgraded to the lastest version. I hate to have a lot of additional stuff on the site which distract any visitor. To get rid off the weblink attached to the joomlawatch icon was impossible (unless you purchased the adfree version). Without trying first: no way.
So I went to look for another web statistics extension. And j4age is really perfect. If you do not want to nothing will be shown on your webpages. Nevertheless the statistics and graphics in the back-end are really excellent. And when you have been using joomstats, j4age will upload these data from the database during the installation procedure.
It is so easy. When you are only intereste din nice features in the back-end, j4age is worth trying.
The deserve financial support that is for sure!
