Mighty Resources
Finally this extension is listed again... Even though we are on a new J! longterm version, I have to write some words about ME Resources.

In short, it made Joomla 1.5 a full-fledged CMS. Period.

Don´t remember it exactly, but it must have been years before any other J! CCK was available. I am still in love with it. Actually, this extension let me stick with Joomla as my primary CMS. Otherwise I would have switched to the big "D".

I know..., nowadays other extensions might look more sexy and modern in backend (ZOO2, Seblod2, FlexiContent), but remember... all these are new releases or total rewrites. From a technical view ME Resources looks "aged". But it really shines in features and capabilities! Not to mention the integration with other ME extensions.
aiContactSafe
Just hit this piece of software by accident. A new client had it already installed. Way underrated and overseen in my humble opinion. Maybe the name implies a limited functionality... I never expected to find Email templates or entry manager in the backend.

Filed under contacts, but rather an underrated form component. I am surprised and will definitely keep an eye on it. Bookmarked for future projects!
Akeeba Backup
Ever had a none-working FTP download? Strange errors on the backuped site, that seem to have no real explanations? (e.g. jpg images are not displayed... opening in a new window/tab shows only code!)

Simply give this extension a try! It backups the whole file and folder structure and even the database.

Another major benefit: The backup and restore procedure is lightningfast compared to FTP!

It saved my life and the whole project. Simple as that. I will definitely check out the PRO version...
Thank you for your contribution. Looking forward to integrate and test it for a future CB project.

By the way, there is a CB Incubator Project, which shows the K2 articles in the authors profile tab ;-)
Just wanted to let people know, because it is related to this extension.

CB Random User
You want to feature and promote a certain user profile? This module does have some unique options for you.

Highlights are:

- filter/select a profile based on cb field values and conditions
- a special timeframe parameter allows "member-of-the-day" etc.
- display additional cb field values


In short: Great module, very fast support.
Thank you very much for your work and efforts!

Attachments
I used the previous 1.x version for a file and documentation repository. And i will upgrade it as soon as possible.

Why did i choose Attachments? Because it is usable and intuitive for the average user. I needed a simple way to share and update files and related documents in FRONTEND. I think i have tried almost any possible download component out there... finally i came back to Attachments. Only DOCmans simple upload steps come close to this.

The ability to use the Joomla articles for categorization and descriptions is real fun. (in v2 also for categories and sections)

The frontend upload and edit is as easy as it can be.

Thank you very much for this great piece of software.

My favourite features (besides the typical menu usage):
You can create automatic menu-items for sections and categories. In other words, you can expand joomla categories and sections. The real beauty about it: the output options. i.e. category name as static title or clickable links. Or even as a select-box. A handy little gem: The ItemID selection has a fixed and a smart option.

Never tried the suckerfish menu templates. But i have seen them in some templates.

In Joomla 1.0 days, the awesome splitmenu option was my highlight (something you know from J1.5, right?! )

I would really like to see it for J1.6+ ;)

Many thanks for this useful helper. I needed a solution to load different scripts and a special jQuery version for serveral pages. Because other major components and the template use different libraries i had to make sure, that there are no collisions.
Custom Head Tag was the quickest and easiest solution.
Thank you.

Just played with it for a short period of time... but i love it already. I agree with some previous posts here: This should be a CB core feature.

Go – get it!!!
