myApi
I tried out myAPI for the first time today. The extension installed seamlessly and with great ease.

I had a small problem getting two of the buttons to display on my site, but a quick email to Thomas resulted in an even quicker reply with a full solution.

Looking forward to watching this extension develop further.

If you haven't tried it yet - then do so!

Thanks again Thomas and keep up the good work for the community - it is much appreciated.

Attachments for Joomla!
I downloaded 'Attachments for content items' because I needed a simple way to provide a download without the need for a bulky document repository - this extension does just that. It's easy to install and simple to use.

However, I found I was having a problem with the article selection so I contacted Jonathan and in less than an hour he identified the problem (a clash with mootools upgrade plugin) and sent me a modified file, which solved the problem.

Now that's what I call support - better than many provide for commercial products.

Well done Jonathan and thanks again.

Articles Contact Us Form
Love this plug-in - so simple and easy to use.

Is there a way to integrate captcha or other anti-spam measure?

Cheers, David

I've been waiting for a good quality, truly open source Survey Component and this is it. Everything you need is there: reusable questions so you don't have to start from scratch every time; great analysis of the results; the ease with which you can export to Excel etc.

Full marks to the developers.

I agree with 'rogerbaker' that "Some ability to email individual survey results or summary results automatically to a specific email address would also be nice", but I can easily live without that in the meantime.

Thanks heaps guys - an excellent component.

HOT Login
I like this little extension for it's simplicity. It sits there unobtrusively at the top of the page and doesn't interfere with the template in any way. When you need it, just click and there it is.

The ONLY thing mission is Captcha on the forms. Can this be added easily?

Great work

David ;-)

Hi David, thanks for your review!
As I say in the description, HotLogin "moves" the login form. It has no form in it, it's just a container! So, if you need a captcha in your login form, just add to your website a plugin which add the captcha to the joomla standard login form (mod_login). Doing that, you will have your captcha in my plugin!

JE Membership
In my spare time I develop websites for not-for-profit organisations so I need to be sure that when I choose a component, it will do the job. This component is perfect.
It is quick and easy to set up, has very clear interfaces both front and admin and plugs straight into one of three popular payment gateways (PayPal, Google Checkout or Authorised.net).
I had some questions and the response from the developer was quick and informative.
If you're looking for a quick and effective membership payment system, this is it.

AutoTweet NG
I have been using AutoTweet NG for some time now and with each release it gets better and better.
The queuing feature is a good improvement as it gives time to fix something if you've published a little too early.

But above all, it's the convenience - publish and tweet automatically.

The only improvement I can think of would be the ability to post to facebook and myspace at the same time.

Thanks for a great product and keep up the great work guys.

I used this extension on my site until recently - and it's true that it does what it says, and very well too.

However, there is just one feature that is missing - the ability to assign categories of Glossary Terms, to specific sections/categories.

We have a site that carries both scientific and non-scientific content and, sometimes, terms that refer to specific science processes have the same name as common terms and therefore there can be a degree of confusing and misinformation. Consequently, I have had to unpublish the bot.

The component allows the grouping of terms into categories, but then seems to make no use of this feature. The ability to assign these categories intelligently across a website, would make this component a "must-have".

Would love to see this Martin.

Cheers, David

Version 2.7 is now available as a release candidate, soon to be a full release. You can write {glossid:3,5} in your content now to tell Glossary's content plugin that you want the article to be marked up with only the glossaries that have ID 3 or 5.

Mosets Hot Property
I have been using Hot Property for some time now and there have been few, if any, upgrades.

Mosets has released an availability extension which only goes partway to solving the rental solution. It's OK showing the availability, but customers need to be able to reserve property and pay for the rental online.

I have seen no plans to make the product fully functional by adding a customer payment module. I suspect one will be announced someday and we will have to buy that as another extra.

I have tried using the forum for many feature requests/suggestions/improvements, but like others have reported, the response has been a deafening silence.

It is vital that if you charge for a product, your customers get good support - I have had much better support from developers of non-commercial products.

Please guys - lift your game a little.
RSform!
I have been setting up a new website for the Perth Blues Club, which is a not-for-profit-organisation in Western Australia.

I have been looking for a good form generator and after experiencing Phil T's form component on my work website, I decided to find something more user-friendly and found Forme (now called RSform). It's very straightforward, works straight our of the box and does everything it says it will.

At just $10 this is perfect for NFPOs who need to watch the $s.

Thanks guys and keep up the great work. The site will be online next month and shortly after our AGM (August) we will run a member survey. RSform will be perfect for the job.

Cheers, David (spinfx)
