I was really getting frustrated with menus. Apparently Joomla "generates" it's menu links so it's hard to apply CSS to them. When I did, every link on my site looked like my menu. Ok, I'm a newbie and I need some help...

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!

I've looked at all of them multiple times, downloaded some of them... this is the only Help Desk system I'm going to keep. The BASIC version is free and provides efficient Ticket support. It allows for multiple managers to handle tickets. JTAG is super easy to install and configure: I did it all in about 2 minutes or less. The user console in the front end is attractive and looks professional and works good, which I can't say for all of the systems I tested. The Pro version of JTAG adds a Knowledgebase to the system, which I do want so I will purchase it. The price is reasonable. I don't need a heavy-duty help desk system so this is perfect for a small company, but apparently it can handle a lot more as well. Tickets can be assigned to multiple managers and they are handled from the front end, so there's no need for help desk staff to login in to the Admin area. Overall, I'm really impressed. This Ticket system is brand new, and I'm glad I didn't make a choice until now.

Chris has made it possible to have awesome Activity reporting on the Front End and Admin area of your website (requires both modules). But it's more than the Activities list, (which certainly livens up my website), but he has defined a package using many Joomla extensions which will give you an awesome social networking site. And, it's designed using the best, most popular and reliable Joomla extensions!!

The plan he's come up with is absolutely inspiring. It took me a week to work through the long, long list of modules that he recommends, but my site is really Amazing now, and the credit goes to Chris and his activities modules. Plus, JoomlaPraise now has templates for this concept and they are recommending it too.

Why should I mess around with fledgling software systems, when I can use the best of what Joomla offers to build my own dream machine social networking site? No, I'm not getting paid for this review. I just really LOVE this plan and I'm thrilled with my new website!!

And, thank you to Chris, who was very patient in answering my questions and solving problems that were mainly my own doing.

I had it downloaded, installed, on my main menu and using it in approximately 1 minute. It accepts HTML code so I can do whatever I like with the page. I need to save TIME, and this is a snappy little utility that gives ME more time to work on content instead of fussing around with the program. And I agree, I hate WYSIWYG editors too, it's the one thing I hate about WordPress. This is a beauty. Thank you!!

I had very specific parameters for my Gallery, and I wondered if it was possible to do what I wanted. I needed it to allow user uploads, with a number of restrictions. JoomGallery blew me away! The configuration is so very detailed (and yet so very easy to do). Within a few minutes I had it all working, and tested, the way I wanted it. I work with a lot of scripts and software, but this one really amazed me. Very flexible, very easy, very attractive! If I could give JoomGallery more than five stars, I would.
