Simple to use and works perfectly. Great job and thanks for updating the component.

Remember to enable it before you use it.

This is by far the most powerful extension for Joomla, but you must be prepared to learn a lot.

It is big and complicated, so the wizard is a great feature to help you hit the ground running. It will give you something to start with but the real power comes later when you learn all the features, of which there are many.

The product has many 'hooks' that allow customisation, you need to work at it to understand all the places it can be modified though....

The documenation while very extensive could be better. Have a read and see what you think, as the documentation is freely available.

With some work and focus, you can create very powerful applications.

I've been using it for well over a year, and in my experience nothing comes close.

However, there is a very steep learning curve.

If you're not sure, download the documentation (for both version 2 and 3) and see what it is capable of, you will also see in detail exactly how the product works. There isn't a live demo of the backend but the documentation shows most things, so by reading the documentation you'll have a good understanding of the product before you purchase it.

Also you must know SQL.

Note that you must read the documentation for both version 2 and version 3, even if you only want to use version 3. Also you really should do the tutorial (in the version 3 docs). If you don't do that, then you will have trouble using all the features of the product.

Support is very fast and usually addresses the problem. Ensure you search the forum, most things have already been asked before. Their forum search feature sometimes doesn't work so I use Google with the site: qualifier.

The other good thing is that the product is in active development, the author is always adding new features and addressing issues. At the moment a major new version is almost ready for release.

I've posted many many times to the support forum, and I've always got an answer that I was able to work with. In my experience the author will follow through with a customer until they have resolved the issue or got to a point they can't get any further.

Highly recommended but be prepared to put in the work to get the best results.

I really like this login form is very neat.

For those struggling to work out how to set it to black, you need to add yootools-black to the class tag of your template. eg
(thanks RitchieTheBrit)

Apart from spending some 30 mins working that out, I really like it. I like they also give you all the images you need to style it.

It loses a star because as-is, it is missing images for the login/logout button for the nifty quick style. You have to make your own. I expect with their own themes you won't have this problem.

Very easy to use, simple and beautiful presentation of photos and artwork.

The only downside is that photos need to be uploaded one at a time in the current version, but the author is working on fixing that. There is also a limit of 30 photos per gallery in this version, also being upgraded in future versions.

Otherwise its a fantastic gallery component, highly recommended.
