Something which is definately a "good to know" when using the backend. I installed it and published to header without issues.

To answer the query below. Load averages are UNIX averages for servers. They are shown through the "uptime" command ((or others like "top").

The values represent the amount of "load" on the server ie:

last 1 minute : last 5 minutes : last 15 minutes

Load averages are *NOT* measures of cpu usage, although cpu load does play a factor in the measurement. The values represent the load on a server and this includes cpu, io, vm, etc.

A server that is lightly loaded, will sit between values of 0 - 1.

A server with heavy load will be above 1 and could go to 90 (very rare but I have seen it happen). Any values between 5 and 10 normally get sluggish responses (depends on the OS of course).

If your load average is consistently above 1 however, that means the server is very busy alot of the time and you may need to performance tune apps, server, or get a better server.

This is a very nice add-on for the Joomla Admin. It does make life somewhat easier but still could use some improvement (not using the icon format for example and using a tree format, for example).

Either way, it was very well documented (very rare for Joomla addons), easy to install and easy to configure. The README.TXT should contain a simple process for how to create a new icon item though. One paragraph should be fine.

It's surprising how quickly this software becomes useful for statistics collections, although it's still beta and many of the modules are early release or alpha stage, the developers promise continued improvements. It's already very nice and many of the modules are already usable.

Although when going to their website and registering, no matter what I did I was unable to actually login to the site, even though my username and password were correct (confirmed in email on registration), it fails login with incorrect username and/or password each time. When trying to "reset" the password using their "forgotten password" feature, Joomla returns "password reset failed". I tried to find other ways on the site to contact them but to no avail.

Because of this, I couldn't get involved in the support forums. For example, I would have liked the "Latest Visitors" module to not show the "Real Name" of the Joomla user but just the "Username", I wanted to mention that in the forums but without a login, I couldn't leave a forum message.

Anyway.. none of that detracts from the component, it's useful and worth the installation.
