Insert HTML button
Has to be used with the core plugin (link to the download is in their documentation.

Can be used to insert Paypal form in an Article. NB if and email address is to be used and not the Paypal saved button num then use ascii code instead of and email address. eg.

yvComment
Works well, just read the documentation before trying to use it.

One downside the Bigo CAPTCHA link they give is no longer valid. http://www.joomla.com.br/downloads/doc_details/50-bigo-captcha-12.html is the new link.

The extension is flexible in its configuration and is just what i need.

CAPTCHA Connector
Initially i installed it to have a working capcha for yvComment because their link to the plugin showed it was removed because of bad links.

This is a Good Component and the Bigo CAPTCHA that is shown in the link above works well on its own as well as with this Component.

Akeeba Backup
A little twiddling with the CHMOD but that was ok. Was easy to use and configure. Hope i never have to test how good it is at restoring the site.

Attachments for Joomla!
I found this very easy to use, had tried a few plugins but got errors. This is a very nice extension.

Very nice Component.

Weather Forecast J! 1.5
It does display the information but not where the display is for.

It would be possible to put the location in the title. But that would be messy because the Module displays bold text saying where the forcast is for but not the location.

Layout not very well thought out.

jWeather
Installs easily, just go to www.weather.com and search your city, the city will be in the url.

Not all the options work and it would be nice for the visitor to select their city.

Having said that i quite like the extension.

JSM Text Ads
No demo

No documentation

Prevents articles from being displayed.

Absolute rubbish. When plugins start causing problems on the site it makes me wonder ...........

J!StatCounter
I had reservations because I like Statcounter to run silently but i soon worked that out.

As the other reviewer said... "Though the input parameters are sort of confusing at first, the tooltips you get when you hover over the text boxes explain everything you need to do."

Works out of the box with just 3 entries of code. Perfect for those of us who have Statcounter accounts. Others sign up is straight forward with no need for conformation email.

Points to note:
* Must be activated to interact with statcounter.

* With Invisible Counter set 'Yes' and Show Title set 'Not' it runs silently. (Even if Statcounter account is configured for type of counter).

* To display the counter you must configure it on the Statcounter site.

RokClicky
Works well, I could not find the site ID where the Plugin told me to look but i eventualy found it it the code.

The plugin works well, the only reason that i will not use it from now on is that I prefer Stat counter to Clicky.

This pluging does what it says and with one insert of your ID in it Works out of the box.

I tried a few other plugins for zooming a pc but they caused my site to display a blank page.

This is working in IE7, the zoom image does extend slightly below the backgound. But anyone using IE would probably think that was how it is supposed to be displayed.

Hint: If the images are in the plugins defined folder just enter their name in the code and no path.

Overall i like this plugin.

Needs Forgot username/password and Register links. But is much cleaner than the one that comes with Joomla.

KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) works everytime. This simple little plugin is simple and works well. 'Does what it says on the tin'. !!!!!!!!!!

VM has an 'Unlink button' in the edittor, so thos not familiar with html can just hi-lite the text and click it.

I am having trouble seleting the the correct width as it views slightly differently on different browsers and PC's.

However, it is reasonably good and definately easy to use.
Owner's reply

Hi It is an idea we have to integrate a editor button to make this easier. :)

It simply uses a embed pdf tag. .Try using percentage widths ( we havent tested this but should work)

Easy to use:
Enable plug in
Create an article with the plugin code (the word count can be set in the pluggin if needed)
Publish the artical.
Then either put the artical on the front page or connected to a menu link.


It says beta but it is a final version as far as i can see.

VirtueMart
I have Joomla! 1.5.9 & VM 1.1.3 it works fine.

I 'messed' around with the ecommerce version on my site. But did a clean install on a site that i am setting up for a friend.

There are a few issues with installing via FTP on shared server but those are easily overcome.

The Iexplorer can not handle the category module so it needs to be disabled until the VM team can work out what IE is doing.

All in all Excellent.

J!Position
Verry neat and useful component. No way to describe it except a must have !!!!!!!!!!!!


Good, my only negatives are that when i click something on the left (to see what mods are active there) i can not edit the mods until i click 'view all' again. And that after editing mods i then have to go through the menu again to view the Component again.

Template Toolbar
I use HTML-kit for building sites and templates because i can FTP up from it and then refresh my browser.

This extention/stand alone program is perfect. I am just strating to experiment with Joomla templates and 'Joomla! 1.5 Template Toolbar' stays at the front. All i need to do id click what i want then paste into my edit.

Installed nicely on my PC Win Vista operating system.
