I had two problems with it: text in the comment area didn't wrap, so (on the actual ECard to the recipient) the paragraph I had written simply went off the template in one straight line - and wasn't readable. This needs to be fixed.
Also, the form for Recipient didn't format properly on my template so I wasn't sure which blank space was for the email and which field was for the recipient name. I guessed wrong and the eCard went nowhere. Once I knew my mistake I was able to put the email address in the proper field, but all my users are likely to have the same problem. So the formatting on that template needs to be fixed as well.
ODude has a lot of potential, especially for social sites. The Pro version is inexpensive and allows you to use SWF and other animated formats.

Hello Prilly,
Feedback like yours help us to grow better.
We continuously work on this component.
Just today we added some more features and fixed some minor bugs.
Your comments is not a big issue and it can be easily solved if try to edit css on your theme.
Every components are not fully compatible with all the themes. So user is required to work on it.
'Comment Wrap' can be fixed by editing css file by searching ... tag. In next version these pre tag will be removed.
Recipient name & email address are again not properly ordered due to again your css settings. You can check many live sites on net using pro version of odude which doesn't have this issue.
We are upcoming with member integration and captcha support but before that comments like yours should get fixed.
Thank you,
Navneet

Of course I chose Chinese as my first sample language, and then discovered that I couldn't read any of the languages in the language list either, so couldn't revert back to English. (I had turned off all the flags: I didn't see the point in using them.) Now I'm using the flags, too, so I can get back to English again. :)
This is a really great module.

JZen is the only option I could find where the developers are maintaining their product.
I had problems with JZen at first too, but the guys got to work on it immediately and fixed it. So THIS Bridge works! It's updated to the current versions of ZenCart and Joomla, and it works very well. It's easy to install.
And it's soooo nice to have the world of Joomla available for my ZenCart store.
Many thanks to the JZen team!

There's a trial of the commercial edition where you can try the other features :)

The only tip for new users: make sure your categories have cards in them. If you have any empty categories, the program might not show on the front end. Other than that little discovery, I had no difficulty installing and using RWCards. It's very nice, looks great, and very easy to use.
I make the ECards from photos that my users contribute, so it's also a community project. If you're using Jomsocial, there's a "userpoints" hack for RWCards in the Jomsocial support forums that gives userpoints when the RECEIVER of the Ecard goes to read it on your site.
RWCards can also work like an Invitation system. I created one category with invitations to my site, which any of my users can send to their friends. And, get userpoints!
I'm very pleased with RWCards. It turned out to be much more flexible and useful than I expected. Very, very nice!!

The assorted clocks are very beautiful with high quality graphics. You can size them to fit anywhere you want on the page. The clock displays the time on the user's computer. This extension was extremely easy to install and configure. Thank you! to the developer for a very beautiful module.

Once that was sorted out, this is VERY easy to setup. I created five articles in one category (one article for each tab.) Then select that category in the 2JTabs module. Refine the settings, put the 2JTabs module in a Position and enable it. It was such a surprise to see it worked immediately without any fussing with the settings. Wow!!
This Tabs module doesn't conflict with anything on my site. I've had lots of problems with javascript conflicts, but apparently this one doesn't use javascript even when it's running in slideshow mode. If it does use javascript they've refined it so there aren't as many problems.
This program is compiled so it's not as easy to do custom CSS but there are 21 style sheets for the tabs so it doesn't matter. Besides, most of the "styling" is done in my articles where there is plenty of freedom for designing.
This module is well worth the modest price. It's just so good!! It adds lots of glamour to the front page of my site, without causing any trouble for anything else on the site.
There are lots of potential uses for this program. I'm so happy with my first set of tabs, I'm trying to figure out how else I can use it, because this was FUN.

I was on a Social Networking site recently where it was all kids, and they had a Shoutbox. The comments were typical teenage inane: "I'm bored. This site is boring. I burped." Etc. And I think a Shoutbox encourages that kind of almost brainless conversation. Rapid Forum is super easy but it's the "grown-up" version of a shoutbox and by the nature of it is going to encourage users to provide a little more than three word comments.
Rapid Forum can take the place of a Chat room, too. Chat rooms are hard on a server, but with a fast-post forum you can have the benefits of a Chat room without the server load. I think it will be a very popular interactive part of my site.
I had some problems with the installation but Amanda responded immediately and even CALLED to try to work it out. Eventually I discovered it was a conflict with my menu. Since a lot of things conflicted with that menu, I trashed it and I kept Rapid Forum. You can always find another menu, but you can't find another program like Rapid Forum.

I believe I may have installed all 92 menus that are listed in the Extensions Directory... It speaks well of Joomla CMS that my site survived all of that.
I had lots of problems with the jQuery and Mootools menus. They're beautiful but things would stop working, or the menu would slide UNDER the graphics, or the tooltips wouldn't render or I couldn't upload photos... you know the list!! I hope the Joomla developers can work out all the problems because the extensions that use Mootools and jQuery are soooo nice but I decided I'd rather have a site that works good.
So far, THIS little menu system doesn't conflict with anything. It uses a teeny bit of javascript.
I think the developer is modest about his abilities because this menu seems to be well designed and complete.
It installs easily as a MODULE, which means it will work with your full mainmenu mods, not just articles.
And, to find a horizontal menu like this one is unusual for Joomla, although I see these menu systems online a lot. MG Menu fits into an amazingly small space and handles lots of links.
The thing that really made me happy was the CSS file. I like to dig into the CSS and make my own styles and colors. It has a standard CSS file and you can do what you want with it.
I think this menu may be a hidden treasure among all the menu systems here.

The so-called Plugin is an assortment of files with no explanation of what to do with them or where to put them. I am not a stupid person, so I'm offended that this is presented as EASY when there's no real documentation for it. You MUST have background experience with Suckerfish in order to "Get it."
Owner's reply
This is a module... you install it... via the install screen in your Joomla administration. You simply point the installer to the zip file, Joomla does the rest.
You set the menu up just the same as you would a normal menu, via the Module Manager. As for styling the menu beyond what is presented in the module screen, yes, you do need to have experience with CSS. Experience with Superfish/Suckerfish is helpful but not required.
I am more than happy to help anyone with questions or problems they may have; all they need do is ask (via the support forum or email).
I thank you for your comment and have placed a disclaimer in the module description.

And it's fun to play with too, when you're tired: we go UP and then DOWN, and then UP and then DOWN... It's kinda irresistable, you have to play with it. :)
And yes, it's super easy to install. Almost no setup. You can customize it if you like. This would possibly be classified as a little gimmick item, but I think once you have it you'll see that it's actually a very useful and use-able part of the page. I like it!

JooTabs has 8 styles included, plus you can use module suffix to style it the way you want. Very configurable and stylable.
Most of the setup is self explanatory but I thought the module setup was a little confusing. So, here is my setup as an example. To set up Jootabs with 2 tabs for Photos:
Title of the 1st Tab: LATEST PHOTOS
Module of the 1st Tab: jooposition1
Title of the 2nd Tab: RANDOM PHOTOS
Module of the 2nd Tab: jooposition2
The jooposition1 and jooposition2 should be on your XML file, but not on your template or in an article or anywhere. You only want to position Jootabs. Jootabs will then position everything else for you.
Then, JooTabs needs it's own position on the XML file AND on your template or article or however you want to publish it.
Once you've got that sorted out, then, make sure that all modules are enabled. Very easy. The only problem is the lack of documentation: it's easy if there's a little bit of instruction.

So I went looking for menu systems but there aren't very good instructions with Joomla extensions sometimes (often!) And some of the menu systems don't come in the form of modules or plugin's. So what do you do with it?
Fortunately, THIS menu comes in the form of a MODULE... YAY!! It installs easily. I had to learn how to make submenus, but I needed to learn that anyway.
Then you can decorate the menu all you want with CSS. This menu makes sense. And it looks good, it's a huge improvement over standard links. If you do need some help with customizing, I was amazed at how reasonable (cheap) his customizing fee is.
Thank you to the developer for a very nice, easy, sensible menu extension.

This is my favorite of all the little accessories that are available for EventList. There's no demo, so here's what it looks like. On the left side it says UPCOMING EVENTS in fat gray letters, while the ticker (in bold body type letters) scrolls in from the right.
The Tickler displays the date and title of the event. When you click on it, you go straight to the event. If you hold the mouse over the text, the Tickler stops so you can read it. The number of events for scrolling is configurable: you can choose one or many.
The Tickler is simple and cute. It was less work to install and looks better than other mods that I tried.
The Tickler has a number of configuration options so I was able to fit it nicely into my sidebar. It provides some movement on the page without overdoing it. Very nice. Thank you!
