Its been over a week, and no reply and no fix has been applied. Thus I see no other reason than to give this extension 1 star. Its really a shame as I needed this extension...

Hello,
Given installation problems encountered with the version for joomla 1.6, the component is now only available in version 1.5.
The component is being fully rebuilt for Joomla versions 1.6 and 1.7 and will be available within few weeks.

but what really really (REALLY!) annoy me are those pre-entered comments that keep recurring. Yes, I know you can go in and tweak some file to have it removed, but one should not have to!
Also, the knowledge base (if you can call it that) on the homepage consist of 2 questions.
When you download the component, you don't get any documentation.
So generally its a great piece, but documentation is not up to par with other components...
Yes, I know there are videos somewhere. just add a txt file with the zip and i would be much happier...

No file needs to be edited. That demo data can be removed with a simple switch that obviously you have missed.
The Knowledge is organized into different categories and contains an answer to all your reported annoyances, not to mention the answer to "Where is the documentation?" which is the 2nd article in the list.
Once again, we have a support form. Please use it instead of reporting here things that even a child can deal with.

BACKGROUND: I manage a website for a major international think-tank, which has hundreds of PDFs etc managed by DOCman. However, due to the "legacy mode" issue, and some apparent upgrades in JoomDOC we decided to try it.
RESULT:
1. Installation works as promised. All green lights.
2. Migration does not work. The software stalls and hangs. Server 500 issue. Migration of categories and files seem to have gone through though upon checking the files and category sections of the component, its all there.
3. However, when trying to access the documents we get "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3 bytes) in /htdocs/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 462"
4. If you try migration more than once, you get dupes in your categories. It doens't check if there was a category with the same name before.
In the end, we had to uninstall, and thankfully DOCman was still working. I gave it the lowest rating because despite numerous install and uninstalls, checks, and double checks, we cannot get it to work.
Be VERY CAREFUL in migrating to this component on your live site if you have a substantial amount of data in DOCman, or if the data in there is critical to your site.
