XML Ko! Mosets Buy
Just because of this simple extension you can turn Joomla and Mosets Tree into a shopping mall, where many users gather together to sell their items. Works perfectly and KO! offers great support!

Jtag Minicart
This is an awesome shopping cart, it's simple, easy, free and looks great. If you don't have hundreds of items to sell and wants something efficient, this is the one to be used. Since RokQuickCart stopped development on Joomla 1.5, this is the best RokQuickCart replacement because it works on Joomla 1.7, actually I think Jtag Minicart is way better than RokQuickCart!

JMS Music component
This component is awesome, I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It's simple and effective. But please make it work on joomla 1.5 too!

If you are looking for an article/news scroller from sections and categories, look no further, this is the extension you need. This extension has everything: Scroll direction, height, width, arrows, vertical, horizontal, date, author... there are so many features to list them all here. Not even paid extensions have all the options available like this one. I went through dozens of extensions just to end up frustrated, but jdvArticles scroller did not disappoint me. Thanks to the developers for creating such a high quality extenion!

MP3 Browser
Thanks for creating this awesome extension! I'm using it to showcase regional artists. It works perfectly and the design looks great. I had an issue displaying MP3 files that have inaccurate titles, but that is easily solved with free program mp3tag universal tag editor.

CSS Gallery
This is extension is simply awesome. I tried all the others available, but this one is simple, fast, looks good with any template and does the job flawlessly. Browsing images with this plugin becomes a very pleasant experience. Thanks for creating such a nice extension!

Attachments for Joomla!
This component is perfect. It works great with Jreviews, since jreviews doesn't have an attachment tool of its own. I didn't find absolutely any problems installing or running the component. Thanks for creating this very useful tool!

This is the best plugin for video providers, in fact I'm using it with K2 instead of using the All Videos plugin by Joomla Works. This plugin works great with K2. On my K2 powered website I don't want users uploading videos or adding remote video URLS. Easiertube works much better than all videos because the authors just copy and paste the video URL in the article and the video works right away. Another advantage for k2 authors is the ability to add the video anywhere in the article - top, bottom, right, left... Thanks for creating this excellent plugin!

This module is simply excellent. I can show the latest articles on my frontpage in real time without having to mess with frontpage article settings. You have to include this module on a content article. You then select this only article to show on frontpage. I found info on this page on how to do this: http://www.joomlaspan.com/general/include-any-module-within-content-in-joomla-15.php

CB Random User
Tried others but wasn't quite happy. This one works perfect and the latest version with SEF support is fantastic. Simply the best. Thanks for this great module!

Frontend User Article List
Thanks for creating this awesome component! For the next releases I would like to suggest these features:

URGENT - Very important
- Author is able to save and publish article
- Author is able to delete article (not just send to trash)
- Save as draft
- Select Section and Category is a mandatory field

NON-URGENT - But nice to have
- (Built-in) Attachment tool, like the attachment component on JED.
- (Built-in) Image Manager like User Images plugin on JED. Each author has own folder to manage images.

It would be nice to have these two important tools in one place from the same developer. The component becomes complete.

In the mean time, to make author capable of publishing articles directly do this:

Open
/components/com_content/models/article.php

Find
// For new items - author is not allowed to publish - prevent them from doing so
$article->state = 0;

Change $article->state = 1;

You must log in as an Author in order to see the component working, it won't show up for Registered users!

If you use Community Builder:

To make users sign up as AUTHOR by default instead of Registered, do this:

Open
components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.php

Find 2 instances where this code appears

acl->get_group_id('Registered','ARO')

and change to

acl->get_group_id('Author','ARO')

These simple changes will get you going in no time. This component has a bright future ahead!

Hi rmarques,
Some ideas are already implemented in version 2.0b, and I'll remember the other ideas that you sugessted in a future version.

Best regards and thank you by your suggestions
