The documentation needs work, but maQMA states clearly that they are continually working on it. I can only imagine that they've had such a huge devotion spent to development rather than documentation. I would rather have a great component and try to figure it out myself than one that doesn't work but overly documented.
The support team is great! They responded to me within 2 hours to a "low level" question.
This component is HIGHLY recommended. I've spent more for components that do far less. There is another help desk component out there for twice as much that doesn't nearly do as much. I've researched them all thoroughly before I purchased it too.
Pros:
- I can import jobs from virtually anywhere (via xml)
- good support
Cons:
- lack of documentation
- no cron job support for job imports
- some settings I would have thought to be a common feature therefore I was told to customize myself (which is ok, but they should've been included in the component to begin with)
- import and export should really have a csv option (this is common)
- a quirky problem with an element with id="logo". should've been called something else.
- prepackaged language needs to be revised by the team. Too many errors for an enterprise component.
I am using Locator to do just this. This is exactly what I needed.
There is no SEF right now but the developer suggested that this will come very soon. I gave 5*s because I had a couple other requests and they were answered with exactly what I needed, and promtly with an updated version solving very minor unique-to-my-site issues.
Thanks! We have since added SEF support!
1. The banner rotator is listed in the "banner management" section of the J! extensions directory, but there is no correlation to the core Joomla banners component either to track impressions or clicks of banners.
2. Being a joomla module & somewhat component, the XML files (images specifically)should be editable in the administration panel. I don't want to have my client try to edit code for a new image.
The forum is an excellent resource. Many postings and the tutorials are very comprehensive.
The newest update allows a job seeker to get notified by email when a posting listed in their category comes through. Nice!
I could go on for hours but this has helped me tremendously! Thank you!
