We have three admins in two different countries to administer one live and test site and so this is a nice way to help co-ordinate tasks between the admins. I now plan to add it to all the other sites I administer to help me remember where I'm up to in site changes (patching modules, template changes, backups etc). It installs fine except that it creates the database entries when it detects the state of a particular parameter with if ($params->get('installtodo', 0)) {
modJLordToDoHelper::install();
which is odd but easy to understand. I have tweaked the helper to add IF NOT EXISTS to the CREATE TABLE for this TODO module and I have added a corresponding DROP TABLE uninstall as I hate old tables in my databases. I'll send the developers my patch. Overall very useful for site admins.

It does a very simple task of adding some essential text-based navigation to the rsgallery2 photogallery extension. Note that I have some simple patches for module prefix and Joomla SEO handle (i.e. have added in use of JRoute) which I'm sending to the developer. When I place rgalist in the left-module position for menu link to rsgallery2 then I end up with a usable, navigable photogallery (obviously with my SEO patch to keep the URLs correct).

You're too modest! openmtl has added most of the really cool, useful features to what was an overly simplistic extension. Thanks for all the help!!!

This like it will work for me but it wasn't exactly what I wanted so here are the features I added today,
1) Optionally restrict access to component from guests. If user is not logged on then they can't use subscribe/unsubscribe. A guest can still activate via activate link. Unsuccessful attempts just get the CC_MSG_UNSUBS_FAILED and the view is "remove" (i.e. I haven't created a new view). My new site has no guests - only registered users.
2) Add a pending status to the module. When a user is unsubscribed but disabled or is newly created and hasn't activated (i.e. disabled) then when you view the modules I can now optionally make it say to the user that they are pending rather than presenting the same subscribe form (which was confusing).
Overall I think it'll work fine.

I need to maintain a sync between another database (ACT!) and Joomla. Our users won't add their own accounts - we do it for them. Thus this userport utility is perfect.
As part of our permissioning we will also bulk block and unblock users and delete them (when they don't pay membership fees. I thus needed a way of doing that....and being Open Source I just added the feature. The code was easy to follow and I could do what I wanted so I'm happy.
I have posted a new set of files with my changes for these new features so hopefully everyone will see them once translators have caught up if the developer thinks they are OK.
My next patch will be to look at a 'bot style interface so another computer can push a CSV file via a shell script. That would be cool.
