teenoo
But please make it possible to download the extension without registering.
Just one transition effect.
Why do you don't make a plugin out of this extensions. In this case you can use it in a custom modul or directly in content. Like SIGE (simple image gallery extended).
All you need are two in Joomla included custom modules.
In the first you will scribe "Login" and make a link.
In the second you will scribe "Logout" and make a link.
And then you publish the first only for not logged in users and the second only for users where are logged in.
That's it and less additional Modules giving you a more secure Website.
Unfortunately I never did find a way to create a logout link... because you must also put a AUTH token in the link which you cannot statically generate (must be submitted real-time).
But one of the most important thing if you build websites for customers is the availability of updates for new version.
Since 8 month is joomla 1.6/1.7 stable available. I have 24 websites where i'm using this extension.
Now i can't migrate this sites from J 1.5 to 1.7 if my customers want to keeping this functionality.
Please don't understand me wrong. I know, it's absolutly free and you have to spend a lot of your time.
But this is precisely the reason why open source software in the business sector still has a bad reputation.
Now i have to say good bye to "Custom Properties". After the migration we will implement "Seblod - CCK" for this functionality.
If we published the new version one day earlier you would not have written this accurate review. ;)
We admit it took way longer than scheduled, but we did at last.
it's not easy to use, so you need two days of rain.
The reason for the four stars is the not existing documentation in english and the bad translation which is not complete in english.
English is the language on the whole IT business and italian documentations are not realy usefull if you have a global product like joomla.
This is not important for a image slider module or other simple extensions. But for this extension is the documentation extremly important.
you're right, when I have finished version 1, I will focus on the translation of the manual (which I still have to finish writing).
Thats the reason of my average rating. There is nothing new and no innovation.
This extension gives you not more possibilities then all the other in the Tab & Slide Category and the Function is the same. No Innovation = 1 Star...
We are sorry that you feel that Content Tabs & Sliders is a "cheap copy" of other products. The idea behind it is to use the Joomla!'s JPane to create the tabs and sliders, whereas other plugins use external *.JS files (and some of them even a different JS Framework - JQuery).
As for the innovation, you are right. There is currently none. But if you tell us what did you expect when you downloaded the plugin, perhaps we can add it in future releases. Until now we aim for simple and easy to use plugins.
Last but not least, Content Tabs & Sliders is compatible with Joomla! 1.6 whereas the majority of the other tab plugins are not.

I hope that the Coder will spend in the future a lot of time in the developement of this extension.
Thanks for your effort.
Hello,
thanks for your feedback. Well, you are right. But you need also to understand that this was just a first initial release and it is a very complex component. More features and options will be added in the next releases.
As example, the room (overnight) booking and payment integrations will be available in the next release coming within a few days.
The reasons:
1.
the effect is on every view of the content, so in category-, section- and detail view. it's helpful in category, section or frontpage view. But in details view should it be possible to deactivate.
I think it must bei possible to deactivate it with a additional strings, because i have a plugin which makes automaticaly links for special keywords. and if you don't would this in a article, then you have a string which deactivate this.
2.
the view with K2 articles is not perfect on the frontpage. the view on category and details is absolutly okay.
3.
It would be nice if there's a possibility in the future to make slides in slides. There would give more different possiblities.
In the moment i will use this for special articles and faq's where not needed in other views.
Many thanks.
Thanks for reviewing.
I don't understand very well the issues. I would really appreciate if you contact me by email (you can find the address in the footer of my website) and maybe you send me the link to the your pages, so I can see the issues with my eyes :D
With your help I can surely improve my plugin.
Thanks again!
I think there is so much potential in this extension and the idea about this, that you have in a short time many fans for your project.
it's maybe the simplest way ever to get a own template.
go ahead guys and don't stop the development of this.
Many thanks for your words.
We are working hardly in this extension and next week we will release the complete english translation for it, in 0.1.0Beta version.
Help is welcome,
Regards!
and the support is extremly fast and 1st class.
good job...
You Have Absolutley No Possibilities To Control Something In The Backend. All You Get Is A Component Item, But The Component Display Nothing!
And The Component Is Descripted With "Hello World".
In The Menu The Same Problem.
And The Output Is Horrable...
Hi Teenoo,
So far, the component does nothing with the backend. It is simply to modify frontpage, making an alternative to current frontpage. What it does is display all latest news of each categories automatically.
To access it of course you need to create a menu to point to: http://yourwebsite/index.php?option=com_ezine
instead of default http://yourwebsite/index.php
The next version of it could be to allow user to select what category to be displayed and how many articles to be listed.
Regards,
Hi,
I have updated the module with 1.5 native

Thanks & Regards

Your extensions controls the publishing on the frontpage, and Auto-Archive moves the article in other Categories after unpublishing on the FP.
Exactly how a Newspaper Website does...
You have in combination with "JbPublishDownFp" a powerfull instrument to controll your content in a different way.
You can unpublish articles on the frontpage automaticaly (ex. in the "News" Category) and change at the same time the category (ex. in "Older News" Category) of the article.
This gives you more action on the FP and on the other sites. This makes your Webpage more attractive.
PS:
Why do you don't work together with the Coder of "JbPublishDownFp", for a realy cool Extension? ;-)
There's just one thing, where i have a small problem.
The path to the images is not realy good. All images are normaly unter ".../images/stories" or in another images subfolder.
Maybe you can change this in a further version.
Anyway, thanks for your nice Work.
What is the sense behind a content construction kit? Exactly, a frontend submission/editing. You can build a predefined Contentstyling with various fields, so that can a not-webexpert submit his content and it looks allways in the same style. If this feature is missing, for me this is just a better templater for the backend, like the tiny "templater" from nonumber.nl on JED.
Now you have the same problem like flexicontent, but flexicontent will add this feature very soon. And if you compare your extension with the jSeblod solution, then you are very far away from it. And jSeblod is totaly free, without any commercial components and more powerful.
I say absolutly nothing against the quality of this product, but i can't see a sense behind a "Ferrari with three weels".
ps:
I do not work for jSeblod :-) . But I know all the CCK's for Joomla
It is clearly stated that ZOO 2.0 has currently no frontend submission. See the IMPORTANT note in the extension description above.
Why you are complaining about this and giving a bad review when it is clearly stated? Why don't you just go with another extension which fits your requirements?
There is absolutly nothing what do you have to configure, excluding the picture size.
You select a Category or a Section and that is it.
You get a picture which is directly clickable and the Title of the Article which ist clickable too.
But, and thats the reason for a 4-stars vote, this component destroy the "Simple Tab and Slider Module" on my right side completly.
I hope you have a solution for this Problem soon as possible.
and there are a lot of more posibilities. You can show the daily opening times of a restaurant or something else.
guys, well done...
this is maybe just one small thing. but for me is this very important, and for my customers too. and that is the reason cause i'll you give not 5 stars.
I appreciate your four stars and your critics too.
I have updated a new version, 1.0.7. In this version data is automatically backed up on uninstallation and restored on installation.
Thanks.
