Hint: All pictures must have the same height and width!

So: worthless

Well, if you just think about it...
How will you present images in a container with different size?

Simple Image Rotator
Expects me to put a set of images in a specified directory.
Since I already use foto albums and want to use those images I should be making an extra copy of every image in a joomla directory. What does the pragrammer think, that webspace is for free???

I'm sorry, but this kind of restrictions makes such a product worthless.

Random Image Plus
This is a great module. Simple but great.

Unfortunately it does not support uppercase extensions (Like .JPG instead of .jpg).
So I cannot use this module.

Too bad!

AllVideos
Although it is quite a nice plugin to get flv displayed on your website, it is impossible to find out how to give a video a different size than the default one specified in the parameters of the plugin.

This is really annoying and makes me want to look for a different plugin....

Why everybody keeps talking about backups, I do not know. It is recovery that is important.
And if you want to be able to have a quick recovery of your site, then this is what you are looking for.

Recovery is as simple as eating a Double Whopper Hamburger. It only takes time, but in that time you have a great taste. If you want a special Burger, with extra mayonaise on it, or clone your site to a different host, well then you need to take care of two or three details like preventing dripping on your penguin-shirt (database name and db password and stuff like that).

And with this extension, there is excellent documentation.

Could not find anything wrong with this extension but the lack of scheduled, automated backups.

Flowplay for Joomla!
Too bad!

This module (B9-version) gave advertisements in a pop-up, so I had to unistall it and went for another extension; the allvideos plugin.

If you are getting "advertisements" then you did something VERY wrong because there are NO ADVERTISEMENTS in this program at all. You either didn't follow the simple instructions or something is wrong with your site.
