It does just what needed: you can fully customize the quick icons in the homepage of the Joomla Admin control panel, selecting links, icons, text, without the need of hacking Joomla's core module!

I was able to setup my gallery in 2 minutes: create categories, upload photos (I done it by FTP) and add with "Multiple add" feature, that create thumbs and links to category.

And the gallery is pretty good also with standard theme, so few or none customization is needed, almost in a first step.

Great, you can setup a calendar section in minutes! Good looking, specially the "upcoming calendar" module.

It can be a good idea to use a Google Calendar for your site, because editing events on Google platform is very easy and powerful, and can be shared easily.

This very simple and plug-and-play component is very useful when moving to Joomla existing sites, and you want to preserve existing links, for example indexing in Google Search...

After installing (it needs a Joomla core file editing, not very good but it's simple) it monitors all 404 errors received on the site, and for them you can set the auto-redirect url. So users don't see anything and you don't lose visit!

It works with Joomla 1.5 native SEF urls, that is very good for me.

After long searching for PM software, I found ProjectFork really useful: in a single component, managing tasks, archiving files, adding comments, and so on... and everything separated by "Project", also called "Workspace". Very good!

Installed, created category and contact, activated capthca, and great, it perfectly works. Simple but with good features.

I installed AContacts, created a menu item linked to my contact, and website does not work anymore, simply I have a blank page.. Removing or unpublishing the menu item, site return to work. Maybe because I have enabled Friendly URL and mod_rewrite (standard Joomla 1.5 options).

In my opinion this is the best sitemap generator component for both Joomla 1.0 and 1.5. It has also many plugins that works, like for VirtueMart categories and products and DocMan documents.

This component is very good, it needs just some more work, and it will become a reference for the online auto showrooms. At first point, it's very easy to manage, and it has good features. Be sure to try!

Amazing: you can backup files and database (so everything needed) of Joomla's site in just few clicks and in small time. Good customization options (folder exclusions, output folder, ...). Thanks!

With this component, I REALLY was be able to create a form in Joomla, with text, validations, and dropdown, without a line of code, and all from the Joomla admin panel.

Very good, specially for beginners and non-developers!

This is what I was searching for... Simply does what it says. Good.

I wanted to try the blogging feature of Flock browser, on my site with Joomla 1.5. Just installed this plugin, configured flock (pointing to /xmlrpc/index.php), and I was easily able to publish my post from Flock!

Very great!!

It does just what it says: loading PHP files into modules can be very useful... For example, I'm using it for easily inserting Google AdSense code into a module; just copy and past ads code into a PHP file, and load it with Jumi!

This plugin is very good not only for videos, but also as MP3 player. It seems to be better that AllVideos, because of the optional parameters that can be passed in content calls!

This is really a great effect. The module is easy to install and works perfectly. Good work!

Very useful for the classic "be involved" effect....

I try to compare this to JCE.

JoomlaFCK is better for:
- faster
- nicer (office and silver skins)
- easier
- good Flash objects support (for JCE's latest version is not free)

JCE is better for:
- plugin manager (you can enable/disable each button)
- user access levels (you can enable some buttons only for specific user levels, example Author)
- ability to separate user images (each user upload and use images in it's own folder, and cannot see other images)
- advanced links (to Joomla's contents, contacts, ...)

This plugin is a MUST if you want to include a lot of videos in your contents: from YouTube, Google Video, or streaming for your own web server.

I tried it also for including SWF (Flash) files, but the problem is that you can't set the size for each object; for videos it's not a problem (they are almost always 4:3), while SWF file can have different size. So, not good for SWF (but it's not the plugin's goal).

Inserting a video in a content it's very easy; the use of {xxx} tags can to seem strange, for users that never used content mambots, but after a few times it will be very easy to remember and insert.


IMPORTANT: you can see the instruction in ANY moment, simply going to MAMBOTS > SITE MAMBOTS (in admin panel), and switching tabs, very complete and clear guide!

Great component: a MUST HAVE if you don't have direct access to other tools like phpMyAdmin...

Improvements can be done, specially it will be nice to be able to edit the table structure (Alter table), without have know and manually input the sql query.
