I am now stuck with a half working jfusion... Great.
Quite surprise by this review....
You have 6 threads, 32 posts and dozens of replies to your threads. Also specifically for you a fix was created and released in JFusion 1.2.4. In addition, I had on my todo list a special htaccess rule to create for you that allows auto rewriting of joomla urls to new urls with the joomla .html suffix mode enabled (joomla does not accept non-sef urls with .html suffix enabled).
I guess some people can't be pleased with "free beer" (GPL software) and will complain until they are drunk.
There is NO obvious link to any demos on the author's website so I ended up buying blind and hoping. The documentation is very lacking, could ideally do with a step by step guide.
To be able to use redcompetition you need redform, surely the two should be intergrated or the redcompetition use details from joomla.
I have a few problems right now, waiting for help on the authors forum, I hope the outcome is good because once this is all working correctly it should be great.
The point of having redCOMPETITION use redFORM is that the progress and features of redFORM will spread to redCOMPETITION naturally.
This means that with the last release of redFORM you can now charge for participation in competitions through paypal integration - This also means that with the coming redMEMBER component you can integrate competitions in your community system, with prefilled fields in redFORM for the user.
So by having multiple components that can be integrated we can offer alot more and alot smarter features then you would else be able to.
But we do agree it works great - and our documentation for redCOMPETITION could prolly be a bit more uptodate, but with the new line of instruction videos we are implementing soon (and which has allready been implemented for redFORM and redLIST) i am sure it will be a lot easyer to work with for first time users.
There were a few bugs after I installed but I highlighted them and the author fixed them himself on my server very quikcly, which is excellent support as far as I am concerned!
Excellent component, great work!
