Installed it, brought my site up on my Google phone, it worked. I asked some friends to bring the site up on their BB's and iP's and it also worked well.

Nice countdown, but needs translation (english is always a good start). Also, it always puts out 14 months for the countdown, no matter what date you put in ;-). I'll try to debug it...

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' ];

Sorry for the harsh review, but products with no documentation, no indication of if it is installed correctly, no obvious/intuitive interface, and limited support don't rate highly in my book.

This is a mind boggling component with more options than CB, JGroups, and VM combined! I had the basics up and running in a few minutes and the potential seems to be unlimited.

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.

This extension displays a LIST of articles..not the article itself. That wasn't clear to me, so I downloaded, installed, configured, changed my template, etc. then found out it wasn't what I thought it was.

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

Hi there, overall its a pretty good component. Got it installed and working easily. You have to navigate the Governments weather pages if you want to add your own locations, but thats not too hard once you get the hang of it.

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
