Photo Battle Factory

Frustrating Experience
byvickiwatson, January 29, 2012
Photo Battle Factory
Had hoped to use this on a personal site of mine to have photo battles of horse pictures. Paid more for this extension than I've ever paid for a joomla extension. I had one problem after another which made me wonder if anyone else had ever even used it on a website. Support did help me with a few problems, but when it came to the last one - something that was a show-stopper for me. They refused to fix it unless I paid extra. The problem was that when photo battle displayed a pair of photos, the component allows users to vote for both photos in the pair. There is a setting that you can enter a number of days between votes, but it does not prevent them for voting for both the photos that are competing against each other. What good is a battle when users can vote for both the opponents? (My site is primarily used by young people and they were happily voting for both the photos in the pairs). This made the component virtually useless to me and since I had already paid a lot of money for it, I couldn't justify paying more to have them fix something that should have already been working. Refund was also refused.

Powerful menu component

AllWebMenus Joomla Menu Addin
I had used AllWebMenus on html sites before, but was discouraged by what seemed like a complicated process to use AWM with Joomla. After being dissatisfied with other menu components, I decided to give the AWM joomla component a try. The integration steps are very clearly spelled out on their website and after you do it a few times, it's not difficult at all.

AllWebMenus is desktop software that allows you to design just about any style of menu you can imagine. The AWM component allows you to take that styling and apply it to joomla menus. I use the "dynamic" option which means once my styles are uploaded (through the AWM component), I can add as many options to the menu as desired, and the new items are automatically styled the same way.

I disagree with sassyde, there are many options for positioning the menus and the support is excellent.

One reason for my dissatisfaction with another popular joomla menu component was issues with cross browser compatibility. After creating my first menu with AWM, I checked the site in 7 different browsers/versions and it displayed perfectly in all.

Easy Joomla Forms

Proforms
I think I've tried every joomla forms component out there and purchased several of the commercial versions. I always had some problem with each of them. Then I saw mooj proforms and decided to give it a try. It works a little differently than the others, but once you figure out the basic approach, it's very easy to use. I've used it on 2 sites recently with no problems. Love the simplicity and ease of use.

Ulti Counter
Easy to set up and use. You can have a counter up in minutes. Also does a count up as well as a countdown. Would it be possible to add a display option that shows years as well as days?

I've used this module on several sites already and it has worked great. I love the new feature that allows you to display content that changes on a daily basis. You also have the option to have the content change on each page load. Easy to install and configure also.
