Not sure why it adds a reference to the product to your applications generator head tag though???

How is that open source???
The problem with that is that the module is in a div 'id' with a hardcoded name so that you can't have multiple tickers on your page.
If none of that matters to you, go for it. I will keep looking sigh...

Removing the navigation indicator doesn't remove the assigned space, so it leaves a blank area where the left/right arrows would be.
Most important, all modules should include and use the 'Module class suffix' parameter to allow styling to match your site. This wasn't included in the .xml file so I had to add it.

Pretty good plugin to add some more functions to K2 Extra Fields. There should be more documentation on exactly how to use each one of the options. For example, I had to read the code to figure out how to specify the field for the Google Map.
Also, maybe the optional Google Map plugin is changed, because This K2 extra Fields plugin gives an error message saying that the Google map plugin is not installed (even though it is installed and enabled). The problem is that this plugin is looking for the Google map plugin in the content directory when it is actually in the system directory.
Since there is no forum, hopefully this may helps someone else that has this issue.

There is no documentation or support forum, but not much is needed because of its simplicity. I think it could be much more useful if it didn't restrict it to only sending to contacts that are in categories.
I was looking for a way to send emails to different profile groups as defined in JomSocial, but this didn't work for that. However, a couple of small changes allowed it to work perfectly for that.
My suggestion to the developer, since there is no support forum, would be to have a version that allows sending to JomSocial profile groups as that is probably a lot more common than having users assigned to contacts/categories. There are only 2 changes to the SQL to do that.

Blame Joomla! it isn't MVC ;)
Indeed no support forum (can per e-mail) or documentation because of the simplicity and intention to be a private only release. Because of the powerfull function I share it.
Anyway, I don't use JomSocial (created my own) but understand users are using that. I can try to add that option as variable so you choose from both.

I tried to register on the site forum to add my comments but kept getting an error message about unable to open socket.
The major problem I had, which others also reported is that if you have a strong '.htaccess' file (like the kind described in Nikolas' 'It takes a Ninja to Kill a Ninja' in the Joomla! Magazine, then this component wont work. It seems the component needs access to some files that would normally be locked out via a strong .htaccess file. You get an OS error message saying you don't have permission to access a file no matter what you set the permissions to.
Hopefully the developer can take a look at that story in the magazine and come up with an override that will allow this component to work with that type of .htaccess file.

Finally, I realized that it was this module and that default parameter doing that. I then spent a couple of hours looking through the code trying to figure out what was happening. It never dawned on me that was the expected behavior, I assumed it was a bug. Why would anyone want their page to automatically scroll to this module, at least make the default 'no'.
Also, all the inline JS should be using the JDocument add script methods not 'print' statements.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. The latest version has that set to 'no', as per your suggestion.
The option is still there. For those who want to have the focus automatically set to the city field, you can set it to 'yes' in the Parameter area.

The developer even took the time to add the extra polish on the administration side.
Bravo!

This is a nice, simple, easy front end to submit email to a sites registered users. I had to hack it though to get it to send out HTML Emails. I'm not sure why this wasn't implemented in the released version. Its a simple hack that consists of un-commenting and setting the IsHTML flag to 'TRUE' and changing the following lines:
$input = JRequest::get(POST, 4);
$subject=$input[ 'subject' ];
$message=$input[ 'message' ];
$input = JRequest::get(POST, 4);
$subject=$input[ 'subject' ];
$message=$input[ 'message' ];

Now for the downside. There only seems to be a one page, 12 step, help file for this massively complex component and there is no forum for support! There is a Google group with some activity, but the respondents on that forum seem to be hard core Google map API types whose answers don't really help the newbies or non-techies that want to do a bit more than the basics with the component.
I'm a programmer with over 30 years exp but trying to get my head around the potential of this component is very frustrating without a dedicated forum.

A forum would require moderation almost around the clock in order to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings (not to mention technical support). Unfortunately I hadn't planned on that. Actually, I thought this plugin is rather self-explaining.
The twelve steps in the readme file are intended for use as a starting point only. The main help function comes in shape of built-in tooltips for easier use. And just in case, there is a reset button for all configuration settings of this component.

Its probably a good module if you want a random list of article titles.

The issue I have is with the cron job. I just cant seem to get it working (I get errors on argc and argv variables). I'm trying to contact the developer, but no luck yet.
4 of 5 stars so far
