Another person mentioned browser incompatibilities but we tested with Chrome, Firefox, IE8, IE9, Older versions of Safari and the latest version of Safari .. all of which worked perfectly fine for us.
I do find it odd however that there's another plugin with this same exact name, and same exact syntax by another person.. nevertheless, we love what it's done for us.. it saves time and looks good out of the box... we went with this one because we're also very happy users of the K2 extension.

Just so you know what to expect with 1.5
There's a bug when storing records in some cases which can be fixed by editing the model class ( call to getError )
The completed component doesn't support enum fields, it will render it as a text box instead of select boxes as you'd expect.
The completed component required joomla prefixes on the tables, I had some custom tables that lacked prefixes.. while it let me select the table, the component still added "#__" in the queries.. that's fixable by editing the table class and the model classes..
Otherwise, the software is great and I'm sure the dev will fix the known issues =)
Owner's reply
Hi Lonnie,
thank you for bug report.
1. bug
Added to kwnown bugs ;)
You can easily fix it by replacing line 98 in templates/beModel.php with:
$this->setError( $row->_db->getErrorMsg() );
2. support for enum fields
may be in a next release, but it is not a priority: enum fields are not portable, so I never use them (sorry).
3. prefix
Joomla coding standard requires table have the prefix, so this will not be changed.
bye,
marco

I wrote three fairly large exports and then they asked for another, so before I dug in and started writing code I figured I'd dig around to see what was here.
This component is perfect! build your query, set up some worksheets and then combine it into a downloadable workbook .. done!
The only gripe I have is that I want to be able to remove access from the front-end entirely, this way there's no chance of accidentally opening a workbook up to the public accidentally.
A setting to just disable front-end access would do it. I'm aware I can keep the workbook unpublished as a work-around.

My company builds websites that make use of the popular K2 content system.. And while the version plugin does show up under the editor window, there are no revisions in the system because it's not K2 aware.
For most people this is a non-issue but it's good to know in case you're using something other than the out of the box Joomla content management.
With all of that said, I've used it in the past before we switched and it definitely saved our life more than once.. if/when K2 support is ever included, I'll be a user again.

The category structure is nice and fits with the menu layouts we create so the clients that end up using our sites have no issues at all working with it.
I also love that we can build multiple custom templates for outputting K2 content, we can create a category for events that are laid out entirely different than standard content pages for example.. This ability is one of the key reasons we use this component so extensively.
Generally speaking, when we build a site for someone and use K2, the end-user can do virtually everything within K2 without ever needing another component.. I've even built a shopping cart around it.

Once I fixed that, it installed fine... only it doesn't work.. when I go to the jUser component all I see is this, on a blank white page..

I browsed some forums and I saw someone ask the question about this, someone asked them what version of Joomla they had and the topic died, the person replied with their version and there's not been a single response since.
notice the last couple of reviews have been single stars... I think this may have been a good component at one time.. but it is lacking at this point.
Also.. the admin screens are messed up in IE7, they have been for at least two years now (We used this on a Joomla 1.0 site before)
