Autson Skitter Slideshow
If you need a quick Javascript slideshow with high quality transitions and minimum setup time then this is the go.

The support that Xing provides is outstanding!

Forgot User Password
If you have been losing sleep over the last few years due to 'invalid tokens' and lost passwords etc this is your lucky day!

DT Register
I have used all the other events components for Joomla, commercial and non commercial. This is by far the best, especially since version 2.7 now has front end editing and it's own calendar - easy for clients to manage their own site. The support is also top class.

The upgrades keep on coming, look no further!

Category menu for Virtuemart
I've tried all of the available VM menu's but this is the only one that plays well with seo urls (using sh404sef). Plus it is easy to style with CSS if need be and the drop down features are great.

I had one small issue with sh404sef but offlajn kindly fixed it for me.

Save your time and use this VM menu if you need a pro VM site with seo urls! ;)

JReviews Express
I've just launched a large JReviews site. It was a 3 month project working with a backend developer and we are both extremely impressed with JReviews. It's the best coded extension for Joomla we've ever come across. I aspire to code like that.

I only needed to contact support twice since everything works beautifully 'out the box'. My issues where resolved quickly and effectively.

With extensions like this Joomla has Super Powers!
Blue Flame Forms For Joomla 2.5
Having used a few Joomla forms components over the years and returning back to bfFroms once again I'm pretty certain no competing extension comes close.

If you are looking for a reliable, secure, easy to use, and highly configurable form then bfForms is the go.

I'm continually surprised at how many hidden features are in there, they have thought of everything!

Most importantly though the support is amazing!

JoomLine mp3 player
This is an excellent mp3 player. I was most surprised to see that it does not use Flash at all. This is great of course since it will work on more devices and is so much easier to skin - just use CSS!

Content Submit
This does exactly what it says on the tin and it does it very well. I downloaded, installed and had it working in about 3 mins. I've been trying for literally days to do the same thing in other ways. This extension has saved my bacon! Highly recommended.

RSEvents!
Finally in the form of RSEvents comes a great booking / event system for Joomla that is easy to configure, style, adapt and customise to suit. Combined with RS Form Pro you can build something no other component is yet capable of.

The best feature though is the amazing support from RSJoomla. You can be safe in the knowledge that if you buy this component pro help is at hand. They went above and beyond the call of duty in order to help me out and even implemented some changes for me!

Very impressed and looking forward to future developments from them...
ShareThis
I reckon this is the best Social Bookmarking extension as it is minimal on the page but has a lot of options.

I had to get help from the ShareThis developers though in order to get the email function to work. It turned out the markup in my clients content was causing script conflicts.

You can disable the content in admin though then it works fine and just sends a link plus the page title.

Maybe in future versions this will be fixed.

Also at the time of writing the default icon url is wrong, get the correct one from ShareThis and change it in admin.

Apart from that - all good! :)

XHTML Product Categories for Virtuemart
This module is great, shame it took me two days to find it! It works perfectly out the box, took less than 1min to download, install and setup.

It seems insane to me that VirtueMart do not have this as standard. What web designer/developer in the world would not want to create a menu as normal CSS stylable unordered list?

Great work and one million thank you's! :)

RSFinder!
I haven't used it that much yet as I've only just installed it but from what I have experienced so far I'd say that this will become part of my 'default' Joomla extensions quiver.

It saves so much time and is very easy to use. An ingenious idea, simple but amazingly effective. I won't be able to do without now.

If you've come across this extension you are in luck, enjoy! :)

MetaMod
I design and build Joomla websites everyday for a living. It is a rare pleasure to come across extensions as useful as this one. I'll no doubt be using this module on many websites from now on.

Even more amazing is the support from it's creator who emailed me the some custom php within half an hour. Plus I'm in the opposite time zone!

I look forward to using this and all it's future variations for many years to come.

Highly recommended :)
Owner's reply

Thanks morktron. For the benefit of other readers, I sent him a rule that allowed him to put up a module on any page that showed an article from a particular category, where the article's "created" date was older than a certain date. Dunno exactly why he wanted this, but it's a great example of the versatility of MetaMod!

Ultimate PNG Fix
A great try but unfortunately it just doesn't work. It does make pngs transparent though which is great but it distorts them beyond recognition and destroys the rest of your website.

If you still build sites in tables and have no repeating backgrounds then give it a go...

Hurry up IE8!

Ultimate Content Display
This is great, I was looking for a way to hide content so as not to take the users eye away from some photo's. I didn't want to use the usual 'read more' as I needed the user to stay on the same page.

I found this extension and installed / configured it in literally less than 2 minutes and it does the job perfectly.

My client will be stocked, many thanks indeed :)

AvReloaded
I was opposed to installing a third party plugin as I wanted to keep my clients site as safe as possible from breaking. In the end I resorted to this AllVideos and I hmust say I'm impressed! It worked instantly no hassle at all and my client is happy again.
