HikaShop
After getting mad with VM's new version I decided to test this e-commerce solution.

I must say all the positive reviews here are well deserved.

Installation went smooth, the component is really easy but with a lot of features.

Don't worry thinking is not as popular as VM or that it doesn't have so many modules and extensions cause the team is constantly developing new features.

The support is excellent and this means that they guys in the team even answer on a sunday or during the weekend and most questions are answered in few hours.

There's an extensive documentation on their webpage too covering all the areas.

The component still has some work to do specially in their shipping methods, quite limited right now but as their component becomes more and more popular have no doubt Hikashop is the present and future of e-commerce in Joomla.

Hi

After trying new version for some weeks I'm really dissapointed.

Administrator doesn't have and easy setup for begginers or even users with knowledge from 1.x versions.

When you release a new component and the older version is better there's something going wrong.

These new VM2.0 is though for developers which have a lot of time to tweak and understand how this component works, not recommended at all for begginers.

I couldn't even get my shop to show the price for products... something which shouldn't take me days to solve and I had my VM 1.x version perfectly set up.

There are better solutions out there right now and VM really has to work on their layout and simplicity if they want to reach others than developers.

This new version made me migrate to Hikashop and I have been a VM user for years now.

Project was abandoned by the author long time ago. It does not work with at least the 2 latest Joomla versions, you will find bugs trying to edit tags or It just won't let you save them.

Use it only if you are using an old joomla version and you are not using joomfish... if not try other solutions.

Another example of a module with potencial fallen to the ground for the lack of a clean code.

Even If you disable the swf object and use it without flash module won't validate on web standards. There is no support and module is abandoned. Don't waste your time with this module as I did.

Great point you bring up manuxx2 about non standards compliance. Did you use your clever firefox developers tool bar validation to figure that one out?

Here's an idea! Why don't you do as much research into web standards compliance and embedding flash movies as I have? Go read up on alistapart.com they seem to be the authority on the subject. Then you may realise the W3C work on developing standards that Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and the publishers of Flash, which would be Adobe, don't strictly adhere to. For clear reasons, Flash movies (also called swf's) are not apart of the W3C standards. While it is possible to embed swf's with HTML that validates, the result wont be cross browser compatible. Please advise which is more important?

This modules looks nice and works fine however it gives like 10 W3C errors and this is a big issue, please look in to it for future versions.

VirtueMart Tag Cloud
Your modules works well.. except for some errors where it joins some words making nonsense terms... however the problem is that these tag clouds are useless nowadays and could cause more damage than good to a website so be carefull if you use this clouds.

Facebook Slide Likebox Pro
Bought this component, had a problem where my facebook slide is not showing correctly and I did not an answer after one month. If you check their forum most problems are left without answer, poor support, not worth the money.
Owner's reply

On the product page says that the response time may be longer because I have my business trips. I'm sorry that you did not read with understanding.

Thank you for your purchase.

Core Design FAQ plugin
Works fine and looks great however this won't help in SEO as theres no title or h1 h2 on articles and there is no forum to request this feature. Also articles won't appear in a sitemap so they don't exist on the internet...

ccVMDashboard
Great work, however there is one thing that would make it excellent. Showing the latest clients registered in VM. Something really needed which is hidden in Virtuemart stats tab.

Would be great to see that on the Dashboard.

AlphaUserPoints
Theres absolutely no integration with Virtuemart, users are imported into this component, but thats it, just the username, not even the details.

Theres no plugin whatsoever for Virtuemart, and you can't earn points for buying products.

This may confuse users like me, please edit description.

This is a component for managin points given by other methods, articles send, reviews etc, but no integration with VM at all.

Sales Analytics
Many options to create reports, really professional layout and nice graphs.

Would be perfect if you solved the issue about importing this images and add an option to to extract reports from different shopper groups.

Apart from this, the component is great and will save lots of hours, great improvement from the simple reports system on VM.

Hi manuxx2, in our latest release v1.4 we have included the "Shopper Groups" report area. Thank you for your feedback.

Virtuemart Bonus products
I bought this component for its more than fair price and the result on my website is awesome, I had some problems related to my own template that had nothing to do with this component and I recieved full support by Jeremy, he had a lot of pacience with a noobie like me and it's really appreciated.

For the component it does what it says, works perfectly.

Forgot User Password
This component works great, saves a lot of time and frustration to users, this is how e-mail reset should be.

I contacted the creator, send him a spanish translation and he added it to the component for me and all this during a weekend, what can I say, excellent support and excellent component.
