Googlemaps Plugin
After figuring out I needed to go back to V2 API to get the lightbox happening, I swiftly had the plugin integrated into K2 and was automatically displaying maps on K2 items including a lightbox version meaning there was a little and big map available easily.

Advanced Module Manager
Does everything with a module that you can possible imagine!

First Nonumber extension that Melbourne Joomla User group members had introduced to them... Most of us are now never without it.

Part of my standard Joomla build - don't install sites without it!

Modules Anywhere
Replaces all previous modules that try to do what this great plugin does.

On one site, I've use modules anywhere to place over 50 modules in unorthodox locations.
ReReplacer
Part of my standard Joomla build - don't install sites without it now!

I come up with new uses for it every day at the moment, and since it's now out for 1.7, it's full speed ahead for making rereplacer magic in 1.7!

Admin Tools
Plenty of tools to make administering Joomla sites easy - part of my standard Joomla build for new sites
pcDTR
For a plugin that's only a few weeks old, releases to fix the issues that some users have been experimenting with have been coming out nice and fast.

Working it out is a bit DIY at the moment, but once the PCDTR site is enhanced, I'm sure examples and wiki will follow so those less technically minded can quickly get replacing their fonts using PCDTR.
NiftyBox
Works nicely, but beta needs some tweaking. From other reviews, people are having similar problems, but here are some tips on getting it to work reasonably across the browser spectrum, or at least Niftybox (haven't used niftycolumns yet)
- Using color numbering (eg #000000 for black) works in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer.
- Colour names work in Internet Explorer, but only basic colour names (blue, green, red etc) work in Firefox, and not sub colours (blue1, blue2, blue3).
- So, using basic color names works in FF and IE, otherwise, some colours won't show up.

There was also an intermittent issue I had with the niftybox mambot working in some articles. Eventually by cutting and pasting the code several times, it work on all the articles I applied it to.
