Downloaded, installed and got it going in under 10 minutes. Would have been sooner except for operator error - it helps if you enter the correct info into playlist.txt!
Very configurable and simple to follow.

Now this one isn't quite perfect either, but at least it works well for the most part. It really only lacks a mouse over effect to be 100%. The ability to have all tabs a fixed size, and/or so they fill up the entire width of the content (which almost no extensions do) would be nice, but not a definite must-have.
Otherwise, a great extensions, thanks for making it free.

I'm not sure who everyone else was speaking to, but the "support" I got was very, very sad. I've had support tens times as good on free extensions. Telling a customer, who asks how a picture can be inserted in the background, that "This is rather standard HTML and CSS usage, not something that is specific to RSform!Pro" Thanks......
Owner's reply
RSForm! Pro does far more than basic forms, as proven by the built-in features (multipage forms, conditional fields, dynamic field validations, 3rd party integrations, embedding PHP code etc).
Even though we do not provide HTML, CSS or any kind of code-oriented training (as specified in our Support Policy) we do try to do our best in helping out customers, even going the extra mile. I'm sorry that you felt this way and chose to leave this review without even trying to look at the articles and examples we've provided you with.

It's a good calendar tool, though it has some display issues where the available room for it is small (it does not display well in a 600px space - there are overlaps). I had a 1000px wide site with 2 200px sidebars and it couldn't handle it. However, I selected not to display the right side bar and it displays well at 800px.
Support is generally good, though I have experienced a few unanswered emails. But a big kudos to them, when I complained about it Jtag really got onto it and made it right.
For it's purpose, this could become #1 with the addition of a couple of items - the most pressing, IMHO, is emailing a user when they register to confirm details and sending a copy to the admin.

Click demo.... oh no! The page is hidden behind a password!
Downloaded anyway and went to install. Then noticed it's only 1.5 LEGACY! We're almost at 2.5! Ah... uploaded Feb 2009 and no update since. Guess that says it all.

This was an easy install, worked perfectly first time, and I had no issues.
Would love to have seen more of this is J! 1.7, but this little mod helps a lot!

It's a powerful extension, but easy to learn and understand. Phoca was a nightmare trying to get into the dev's head and figure out what he was thinking. Ignite was logical and well thought out. The online dox were a little thin given the amount of options, but they were all pretty self-explanatory. If anything, for me, tool tips in the back end would be all I would change.
First gallery took longer to upload than Ignite did to set up. Brilliant!

Installed hwdPS easily and went through the settings. BTW, their "documentation" isn't worth the mouse click. It's web based (no problem with that), but VERY sparse. No help at all.
They have a confusing Photo/Category/Album/Group system which I failed to understand. However, I managed to get photos uploaded to 3 albums. However, the Java uploader demanded I run something every time - very annoying.
So I have photos. I set the menu to go to the album page. Yes, 3 albums. Click an album. 4 photos. Click a photo - error! You must be logged in to view this. DOH! In the settings Category/Album/Photo all set to public access.
Go to forum. Can't post. Write access only to people who pay 30 pounds a year. I want to evaluate it at this point.
Uninstalled.

This awesome little extension is a Godsend!! Thanks you, thank you, thank you!

BlogPing is just the ticket. It now gives me back the ping function I had to leave behind with JaggyBlog.
THIS EXTENSION IS A MUST HAVE IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT PROMOTION OF YOUR SITE. PERIOD!!!!

Thanks for your review. I hope my plugin will help you.

Easy out-of-the-box installation and use. Total no-brainer! Loved having the links at the top and bottom.
Would just like to know how to get the 2 lines above and below the links as shown in the demo. Other than that it's still a 5*!

You can get the lines with simple css styling. The navigation links are placed within a table with the css class "pagenav". Just add the following lines to your Joomla template's css file:
table.pagenav {
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
margin: 1em 0;
width: 100%;
}
You can do even more styling for the next and prev link texts by modifying the css classes "pagenav_prev" and "pagenav_next".
After 3 emails to the developer and no response, I would have to review, not only the extension, but the developer as one to be avoided.

The extension has started having some bad problems recently however. It has a built-in ping which was great, except now even a brand new post claims it's already pinged so it never gets submitted. There are front end entry errors too. Worst of all, the forum is almost dead, and the dev has, yet again, gone AWOL. If you want support, forget it. If you want a problem addressed, forget it. I am sick of waiting for 3-4 posts to be answered. I removing it from every site and putting something different on.
It's free, but it's VALUE is not good.

But we had a problem where the tab was appearing in the "Add an image" dialog box. I added some code as specified by Dan, the dev. It didn't work, so he logged into the site and spent considerable time fixing it. Turned out to be a problem with the Artisteer template. Thanks Dan, you're the man! Couldn't ask for better help and support. Wish all devs were like this.

Awesome extension!!!

Display articles in a particular Section/Category as a bulleted list. Excellent! And straight out of the box.

However, the biggest pain was that it and Breezing Form DO NOT mix. I tried to put a form in the last tab - Veevaa broke, displaying a string of articles, not tabs (or slides - checked that too).
So I removed it and added the form in a side module position. Still broke it. SO now looking for alternatives.
But, if you don't have forms, it's a neat little extension.
