K2
My only complaint is - I want more! LOL It is the missing link in Joomla! It does what it says and reaches new heights! Hence, that is why it is called K2!

As for documents??? That is like asking for a manual on how to walk! Hello, it is intuitive and also, sheeze already - test it yourself people! Back when it came out - I plugged it in and started playing with it on my personal demo site. Developers spend thousands upon thousands of man hours delivering us great work like k2 for free and some people have the nerve to complain cause they have to put a few hours into it figuring it out! Well, I got this to say to them - Get a life! In the meantime I am loving this product!

As for the developers - Great JOB! Woo Woo - always outstanding work from you guys!

It crashed my server. First of - actually love the module with it's option of 10 different images at once and love that it has lots of images to choose from included...but once I turned it on - it gave me a 500 server error.

While I commend the developer for the effort...I would hope he finds the problem and corrects it.

Thanks and good luck,
William

CB Store
It does what it says for 1.5 (doesn't work in 1.0) except show pictures and has some minor styling issues.

It could use management features to manage individual access levels, set maximum storage limits and some other features, then I would say it is worth $15.00 or more, but for now - it is very simpleton.

Would love to see this feature develop more to include:

- Access Levels to adding content to store, not purchasing in store.
- Setting individual storage limits and upload limits

Plus, I could think of some more, but those two would make this rock.

As for it not working in Jomsocial like the previous reviewer stated - well, it doesn't work with Drupal either or any other software, but Community Builder, but then - umm, that is why it is called CB Store and not JomSocial Store.

I've used this on several sites to help develop them. It is great - it is simply sticky notes on each page that can be moved around, written on by anyone, saved and more.

Medi QnA
Thank you so much! I am using it for a national Breastfeeding and Breast Cancer campaign.

It allows you to create a the flow of the questions you wish to ask, thereby, allowing you to educate the individuals.

Looks good too.

I use it in combination with MMS Blog - I simply set this up to track everything in CB, which I use as photography/digital artistry customer tracking profiles.

I then set it to email to a special account for MMS Blog, which in turn I set up only viewable to me. Then set up a latest MMS Blog post module (for that specific category) made it only visible to me. And wooo woooo - I get up to the minute updates of customer activities and request.

Especially request, because I give them lots of options via their profiles - when they would like a product of mine they simple fill in that list of fields. CB Profile Notifier then emails MMS Blog with all the info and MMS Blog then displays the list of request nice and neat in a blog on my website.

I can then go to the requester profile and handle their order. I opted this versus checking individual email request via forms that they would submit...gives it a more natural flow.

Thanks for the rocking component. I will be hitting some donate buttons...

Peace Out

AlphaRecommend
Well written, lot's of features, works seamlessly and looks beautiful in every template I use.

This is the 3rd product I have used by AlphaPlug and they continue to give rock solid support, answer questions and listen to request.

I recommend this to anyone, running a serious website, that wants to give a professional look and feel to your site, drive customers to your site and ward of spammers.

Hands down, this component rocks! I have used both free and pro on various sites to fit my needs. The staff answers questions, helps with more than they should and they continue to strive to make the component better.

I can't speak for anyone else, but after a year of using this component - I can say "This Component Rocks! It just keeps getting better! Plus, so does the support!"

This, without a doubt, is the missing link to turning Joomla into a rich, thriving community site. Plus, the developer Rocks!!!

This isn't a product you want for your site then have to settle with what's there (usually why to simple or looks like a bad haircut)...this is a product that is there and then some - with a skilled developer that gives 110%!!!

Better Preview
Simply put - this makes life sweeter in Joomla world. Thanks for the extension...

Yeah, it's just a small plugin, but saves a lot of time. Especially when you are using SEF urls. It was pretty hard finding the right url for articles and stuff. That's history now!

I create Charity Malls for charities - I have to build each mall one at a time...thanks to this component I can now build one Master Copy and duplicate it for each charity. What would take me days to create one mall now takes me what seems like a blink of an eye.

I thank you and I know the charities that have been backlogged waiting for me to build their Charity Mall thank you too.

The ease of using this from novice (just pay attention and read manual) to experienced is wonderful, and now that I see the developers are putting together a support site for this component - I know that it will only get better. I recommend this to anyone who has a Joomla based site for back ups, transferring and anyone who needs to distribute, as in my case (which I do for free for charities), a customized Joomla package.

Mass Content
I thought Oh My Gosh - what a difference it was going to make to my tedious work... Then I tried it. It didn't work. :( Talk about a let down. Then - I decided to look at it again...and found that you had updated it.

Thank You...Talk about a one small step for Joomla and one giant step for making lives easier for the droll everyday task of inputting. I mean this is a CMS - Content Management System which is Great, but someone has to still put the content in the system before anyone can manage it.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You - works like a charm.

Add PHP
Okay, I am know expert...far from it, but I do know what I want. I wanted a bot (Plugin, whatever they are called) that would allow me to put MODS where I want them to be. When I saw this I thought - hey, not give it a try. BAM --- it worked magic. I use this to put mods in my content giving me incredible control of each page layout. Now, is there anyway to get more users??? 32 users is just not enough... lol ...thank you Robert Deutz (RUN DIGITAL) for the freedom you just gave me...
