Maybe I didn't understand how to use this, but in my usually fast pace of quickly grabbing and installing the first thing I think might work I downloaded and installed and enabled this plugin and then put the tags around my phone number and it all looked pretty smooth but when I saved and viewed the page it looked all messed up.
Within the Editor of the article, it read "this email is protected and you need Java to view it" or something like that. From the webpage (both Chrome and Firebox) it showed a long string of formatting code where the tag was 'wrapping' the phone number I wanted to 'cloak'.
When I went to remove the tags, it was tricky and I eventually edited the raw HTML trying to isolate what I thought was the extensive Java or whatever code that had populated in the article.
I eventually got rid of it.
Again, the fact that this didn't work for me could be 100% my fault, since I really didn't look for any instructions or trouble shoot it at all.
Thanks to the creator(s) for your efforts.

When I loaded it to my site, the font sizes seemed wacky (too large) and there was a bit of html not showing up from links or coding that renders fine in the forum but not necessarily in the module (Kunena Latest Module has the same behaviour).
I didn't know how to address the wacky font size/look, so I disisted.
It may well for for others... just for me, my site, I'm not sure if it is the right fit.
Thanks for making this module regardless.

estimado, esta version del modulo no funciona en K1.6.x pero esta si http://www.extragos.cl/free/joomla/joomla_download/Modulos/Modulo-Front-Forus-v1.6.4-Kunena-v1.6.x/
Se ha mejorado el codigo y ahora funcionan todas las etiquetas.
El modulo lo he posteado aca pero aun no lo aprueban.

I didn't need to translate anything... just needed a NOOB way to easily find and edit text on my JA_Purity_II template.
This did the trick! Short and sweet!
Just make sure that when you go to download you use the "1.5.2 2010-09-02 18:00:00-05 com_fftranslation.zip
" version, since it is updated for the latest PHP versions that you likely use on your domain.
Fine find!

My search ended with this extension!
It is the Holy Grail, folks.... search no further.

If only all things in life were like this little module.
It does exactly what it promises to do without a hassle.
In my case, I was actually looking for a module to display random phrases on a page..... this module does this, but with a "powered by..." preceding the phrases (as designed)... so I justed edited the "default.php" file removing the "powered by" and voilá! Now it gives me random phrases on my page in a right module position everytime I press F5.
Now I can live happily ever after (...forget the princess!).

When my site had 250+ users, I was unable to continue to use Joomla's Mass Mail feature to send out updates, etc... (anti-spam laws). The option was to use an "Announce List" from my host company, which looked very daunting and very manual.
This extension solved my problem and although it requires some poking around to discouver, understand and set up, it does what it says it does without much ado.
I am so, so grateful for those who put this together. It has saved me big time in time and frustration pursuing other options that might do the same thing.
I highly recommend this life-saver extension.

The description of what it did wasn't clear to me so I installed in on my site to check it out.
Basically you publish it to all or some of the pages where you want to see a module that indicates the last "X" number of pages - of pages where the module IS PUBLISHED - ... note that it will only publish recently visited pages of the pages where it is published.
Thanks for this.

It would be A+ if I were able to adjust the WIDTH, since it module gets cut off if my site is viewed via a laptop (smaller) screen.
I highly recommend this.... it came in the nick of time!

This PLUGIN met my needs and thank you so much for making it so easy (and available).
My Joomla 1.5. site allows for EN, SP, PT, FR translations... this PLUGIN changes to these languages automatically without me having to tweak anything. The layout of the Captcha instructions looks sloppy in PT and SP, but EN and FR its perfect.
Thanks again so much!
Owner's reply
Thanks for the review.All languages except english are contributions from users like you.If you want to change the texts, steps to change the texts in any language is mentioned in the Changing texts section http://www.outsource-online.net/osol-captcha-for-joomla.html#changeTexts

Just go to the dude's website, find the register deal, go to downloads, download it, install it to your Joomla, open it in your Joomla modules and input the settings...
You may need a Facebook API - this is simple, just go to www.facebook.com/developers and click ALLOW and then "Set up New App" and then grab the API key that it creates for you...
Also, grab your Facebook Group/page's ID and input this...
The rest of the settings are easy to figure out....
I am extremely pleased!
Anything to improve? Not really, I just want to figure out how to CENTRE the box on my Joomla site's left margin (column).

I use it for about 5 languages, one of which is PORTUGUESE, but it doesn't translate Portuguese... not sure why...this is the only con.

The only issue I had was that my hosting service (DreamHost) didn't allow for much memory and JoomlaWatch demands a lot.... so for several months I was getting "Internal Server Error" messages, sometimes many times a day, other times not.
It was that my Hosting had a program that aborted anything that was causing server memory overload (to cuase the server to crash) and hence my problem.
So this isn't necessarily an issue with this extension, but rather my hosting.

The only issues I had were figuring out how to install the additional language packs, since it was not just a matter of "installing" via the Joomla installer.... I had to unzip them and copy them over the the specific language folders using FTP.
Poking around it is easy enough to figure out.
Thanks for this!

Hi, thank you for your review, please take a look to the documentation:

Its just a matter of toying with the text and figuring out how it looks best.
It is very, very customizable! It is worth toying with to make it look professional.
I had no need to contact support for this module at all, for any reason.
I highly recommend this module.... I am very very pleased with it.

I tried to make a menu item for it, but it doesn't appear as an option when making a "new" menu item... couldn't find it in the list. Perhaps I don't know what I'm doing.
I created a menu item article and added this module to that menu item but it didn't work for me... it gave an error message about not being able to access a database...odd since I didn't see any options to indicate a database in its module settings.
It could be entirely possible that my noobishness is messing things up and this module is fine.
Also, it appears that this model is entirely in German, not English, although this won't impact it too much (unless a very professional image is warranted).

i also found portuguese and spanish translations for it (as well as english) so when a visitor changes the language of the site, the forum changes automatically as well.
i also use Community Builder with my site and it blends seamlessly with kunena too.
the only thing it is missing are "polls", hence 4 out of 5 starts.
it looks professional. i recommend it..
Owner's reply
Polls are back in Kunena 1.6! :)
You can download it now from Kunena.com but we hope to have it ready very soon.

try installing the module first, though, since i got an error when i did the component first - this could be totally unrelated to this extension.
i was hoping to have this info on my back end/admin panel only, not showing it to site visitors.
perhaps the creators will find this easy to do now that they have this done.
thank you guys

I have not noticed any advertising at all.
The problem is though, that it only shows about 10 place markers of visitors and I know I have had dozens more than that (via Google Anylitics) so I have the impression that it may be only logging visits from search engines, hot actual people.
Given that it doesn't show actual visitors (which may be my mistake, though I have checked the settings), I will unpublish it.
Owner's reply
The module will show visitors if and only if their IP resolves to actual coordinates via a specific service. Unfortunately, not all IPs resolve correctly, and this is probably the issue you are facing.
bymarkxcool, September 23, 2009
It does what it promises but does bring some extra, not so welcome, stuff... like a link back to the creators website, a row of stars that are each linked to something... this takes away from the professional look many may want to get.
Also, the width of the translation fields are adjustable - but nothing else... the hight of these fields can't be altered ...there is a permanent title "Instant Dict Widget" that can't be removed and also there is no way to get rid of languages that you don't want available.
It does its job, so I give it a "fair".
