Easy Export for VirtueMart
Virtuemart is lacking in reports. It barely has any reports available for download. This extension fills that void. You can create custom reports for Customers, Products or Orders and select only the data you need. The CSV file is then easy to open in Excel.

This is one of the short list of extensions that I install on all my Joomla sites!
Easy Export Virtuemart
Don't know why Virtuemart doesn't have an easy way to export reports on orders, products and customer info (emails, addresses,phone etc...). This extension does all that & you cam select which fields to export. Extremely easy to use. I nearly didn't download it because it says Joomla 1.5 Legacy here in the JED but it is actually 1.5 native. A big Thank You to the developer!

Horizontal SlideShow
Just what I needed to display sponsor logos to scroll across a module with links to their sites.

I have a feature request (same as a previous review post) - can the images be displayed in random order on page load or refresh? That is the only feature it is missing for my application.

Thanks!

DM K2 Maps
Great plugin extension to add maps as an extra field in K2 items. Plenty of options (pop-up directions, pop-up street view, zoom, road, satellite, hybrid, terrain, whether or not to show map in category list view, custom bubble (with html, able to adjust size of map). Easy to install. Excellent tech support through forum. The extension did not have a feature I needed & the developer immediately added it & released a new version. Well worth the very minimal cost. I give it five stars!

allChimpRegister
All I needed was a simple module for people to subscribe to a Mail Chimp list. This fit the bill perfectly & was easy to install very quickley. Thank You!
RokBridge
Perfect non-invasive solution to use the phpBB3 forums with your Joomla site & have the a single sign on with users in both databases synced! I was considering using a forum specifically for Joomla but it had too many queries, I hope my forum will be really big so performance was a deciding factor in using RokBridge.

RokBridge enables a perfect match between the best CMS & forum softwares resulting in great performance of both.

RocketTheme Joomla & phpBB3 templates just makes the two appear as one!

I did have some questions about the installation process & received excellent customer support in the RocketTheme forums including personal assistance from a RT moderator, thanks Joe Halleck!

Youtube Gallery
Looks great on my customer's websites. It is very easy to customize the colours to give the gallery a "custom built" look to match your site. Not sure why some other people here choose to post customer support questions & issues in a review section. What logo are they talking about getting in the way of the description? I have no logo on my videos. Great extension, I recommend it!

eXtplorer
This is one of the few extensions I install in ALL my Joomla sites. It is very useful to be able to move, rename, upload, download, change file permissions, delete, edit, view & perform all other file manager tasks without having to leave the Joomla admin. Great extension, highly recommended for all sites.

AwoCoupon for Virtuemart
The free version of this coupon extension greatly improves the coupon capabilities in Virtuemart and adds many options to include/exclude individual products/customers. Easy to use & highly configurable. Definitely recommend this extension!
Admin Tools
After using it I quickly realized Admin Tools is one of those extensions on the short list of extensions to be installed on all my clients Joomla sites no matter what application the site is for.

It is a huge time saver to upgrade your Joomla site with one click, when you have Akeeba Backup installed it makes backup then upgrade as easy as pie.

Other tools like database repair and optimization from within the Joomla Admin & fixing file permissions with one click are awesome!

The Pro version has some security tools that are well worth the money, a small price to pay for the added protection ans peace of mind they provide.
Akeeba Backup
This is the very first extension I always install on every Joomla site I build. I bought the pro version. I haven't used any of the features that come with the Pro version yet but I felt it was well worth the money just to support this project that makes my work so much easier!

This extension greatly increases the usefulness of the K2 extra fields feature.

I used it for the Google Map plugin but I can see this plugin has some features that really extend the use of extra fields.

I had a syntax error in naming the extra field (didn't read instructions properly) that was very quickly addressed by Gobezu when I contacted him for support through the Contact form on his website.

Save yourself some time & read the syntax instructions for naming the k2 extra field that is in the first few lines of the plugin's Usage instructions.

Need K2 extra fields with fancy features? This plugin can probably handle what you need!

I just love this plugin.

Thank You Gobezu!

Cache Cleaner
Well, this is going to be added to my list of Must Have extensions! I have already installed it on two sites & am about to install it on all the others. It works great! You are able to clear your cache with 1 click without leaving the article edit screen. AWESOME!!!!! I like it so much I donated too :D

OSE Access Control
I was dreading having to add ACL to a site to allow update access to groups of users that have access to different categories and some users update access to only one article in a particular category, and I didn't want anything that hacked the core. Luckily I tried Open Source Excellence first & stopped looking any further. I had a technical issue and posted in the forum. Helix was quick to respond and provide personal technical help in record time. Tech support is rated 11 out of 10! Thanks for this awesome extension, it's well worth the money.
Easy Paypal
This is definitely a quick and easy way to install a simple shopping cart if you don't need the advanced features of a full eCommerce site. I was able to create several Add to Cart buttons on one page for different items and a View Cart button also.

It allowed me to use the sellers PayPal profile for sales tax for purchases originating in the sellers home state, rather than the plugin's choice of either a flat tax for all items or none. It also allowed me to either assign a shipping amount for each item or use the sellers PayPal profile to use a table to determine shipping amount based on total of purchase.

I encountered a problem because I had misused the parameter syntax. I emailed the developer & got an immediate response & a quick fix by Bing. The tech support for this extension is next to none!

The developer website might benefit from allowing users to post questions in the forum so others can benefit from the fix but the response to tech support emails sent from the website more than makes up for this.

joomlaXplorer
Great component!

I used Auchi's fix to fix the admin menu problem
Comment out line 83 in file administrator/components/com_joomlaxplorer/admin.joomlaxplorer.php

I used saurabhg10's fix to change the root file to the Joomla site root file instead of the hosting account root file.

Modify the following lines in the file {site root directory}/administrator/components/com_joomlaxplorer/.config/conf.php

else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $dir_above;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = substr( $mosConfig_live_site, 0, strrpos($mosConfig_live_site, ‘/’));
}

to the following…

else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $mosConfig_absolute_path;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = $mosConfig_live_site;
}

I use the component in the aadmin back-end and with these two simple fixes it works great for me! It is so nice to be able to edit site files from within Joomla without having to login to the site's control panel. A great time saver!

Place Here module
Well, I just found another extension to add to my list of favorites! I was looking for a way to get Simple Image Gallery Pro & JMap - Advanced Google Maps Plugin for Joomla 1.5 working in modules. This module is the perfect solution. Easy to install, easy to configure. Thanks!

RSform!
I purchased this extension & installed it for a customer who writes engine testing software. I created a form which sends out a price list upon submission. Individual fields on the form can be formatted, edited & customized. My customer (site owner) gets a notification email & can login to the front end & look at the form data that was submitted.

With another form my customer (site owner) wanted his customers to be able to upload a binary file that is generated from his software. It is an odd file that has a .cdf extension. I could get the upload to work with no problems for an image file or any of the other more standard files but had trouble getting a .cdf file to upload. Alex with RSforms was very responsive to my requests for help with this and promptly sent me the instructions to get it to work perfectly.

All form features are easily inserted into the form - radio buttons, check boxes, drop down lists, submit, reset & upload buttons, and many more useful functions that I have
yet to explore.

Fields can be validated for various tests like, numeric, alpha, alpha-numeric, valid email and can be made mandatory if necessary.

I really like the captcha feature.

I will be using this product on my other sites. It's a very useful tool. I highly recommend it.

Thanks RSform for making the forms on my sites look so good with so little effort!

Tabs & Sliders (for articles)
Really easy to install, configure & add to content items. I used it in a FAQ page. I had separate Tabs for the different model FAQs & put the FAQs for each model on the appropriate Tab. The FAQs were inserted as Slides in the Tabs. A very good way to organize content on a single page without having to scroll through long pages of text.
An excellent extension, thanks so much!
