This should be a standard feature in Joomla; at least an Editor's Pick.

ND EditorSwitch saves me a lot of time because JCE destroys my Flash objects and I have to go into 'No Editor' mode a lot.

Thanks for a great Extension.

Installation

When I installed the zip from my pc it timed out with a blank page, however it did install. I uninstalled it due to fear of an incomplete install. Re-installed via directory on the server; the only errors I got were language file errors.

Configuration

It seems to be a known bug that if you tinker with some of the items in the Configuration, it will break the entire Component and you will have to re-install. I tried to change the image used to signify 'required fields' and it broke the whole Component. I don't want to spend hours building a form and tinkering with the css to suddenly have it break and risk loosing everything.


Look and feel of front end

It is my opinion that their is too much customization to the form fields; text is too small, unnecessary back ground gradient images, etc,.

Unable to put a text sub-heading in the middle of a form to signify different sections.

I think this Component has a lot of potential, however, it's just not keeping up with Joomla versions as of Joomla 1.5.3.

Best,

Excellent permission functionality.

No documentation but it doesn't take long to figure it out after you poke at it for a several minutes.

Thanks!

Seems to work just fine but this calendar looks awful. If it looked as good as extCalendar I would prefer it because it's less busy visually and has the nice javascript pop-up's for each event.

I got the colors looking better by editing the css file but had trouble positioning the main month calendar and getting it to expand 100% across the page.

If it looked at least decent I would have given it 5 stars.

If you're good at messing with css and other files that affect positioning, you should try it out.

Good luck,

Very nice component... enables me to create an online, video gallery using flv, videos.

Professionally programmed allowing for the joomla admin to configure the public presentation to a large extent by editing a hand full of files.

Nice 'bucket' feature that allows for ftp upload of all images or videos so you're not limited to a "browse and upload" pop-up window. Once you've ftp'd all your images you use the back end to organize your photo/video album by tagging files directly on the web server using the 'bucket' directory.

Thanks!
