This plugin is great.

This thing works like a charm! I am using this plugin for almost 2 years and never had any problems with it, and content static speeds my website up bigtime! Thank you!

I have tried getting this extension to work many times on many fresh installs of Joomla 1.5 with no success.

Unfortunately this extension deserves a poor rating since it does not always work.

I used for about few weeks the plugin was so perfect, but i noticed when my site was viewed by a visitor using IE6 and the cache version shows up even when i use firefox and chrome, and the page was half loaded even when i reload it again and again, so unfortunately i had to uninstall the plugin and remove the .htaccess lines but still the page is same and where are the genarated html files are stored??

Plugin ruined my site. Even after I uninstalled the plugin and removed the lines from the .htaccess file the site was behaving as if the plugin was still active. I even clear out the cache but accessing pages on the site still was trying to access the cached version. Backup your site completely before you attempt to install this plugin.

Experience the speed. Feel like the author applied some kind of rocket science :)

Thanks alot !

Hi,this is a good plugin and it works really fast.
The only problem i see is that the images who are hosted on my server are not shown anymore after activating the plugin, but images linked to other servers have no problem.

Works great after initially loading the website but if you could somehow make the home page static always then this plug in would be PREFECT! It does speed things up :)

A must have extension.
Reduced my site's load speed to about 1/4 previous time. Installed and operates without bugs on J1.59 with SEF Advance and a wide variety of extensions.

Nice plugin. one drawback

There plugin doesn't clean up whenever content changes. Since the files clutter the root directory you have to be carefull to remove the correct files

I moved the 'Joomla base dir' to the cache dir and added to the .htaccess before the joomla section:

RewriteCond PATH/cache/%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule (.*) PATH/cache/$1 [L]

now it's a rm -rf cache :)

This is a great plugin. If your J1.5 website seldom modify articles, this plugin can generate Static HTML pages for your articles and make your website faster.

Thanks to the author Joe.

I dont use a SEF component, I shrinked my mootools javascript, I unpublished two things, optimized my mysql tables, installed CONTENT STATIC!

And my page is in 8 seconds FULLY LOADED, before it tooks 26-53 seconds to fully load the site.

Thank you Content Static!

The idea behind this component is great. I like it. However there are some major drawbacks for version 1.0.
It is not comaptible with sh404sef, and it would be good if there was any way to exclude some parts from going static. Otherwise - great...

... very useful, but it's a pity that it doesn't work on windows based systems. Also using it with sh404SEF doesn't work because there is not .html extension at end...

Other than this, it's a good idea, i hope that it could be enhaced in a future.

It works like a treat.

Just a quick tip for those who'd like to have all of their site in static (i.e. not just articles) just take out line 40 from contentstatic.php
It's the part that reads "if ((JRequest :: getVar('view')) != 'article'){ return;}"

I was very surprised, after I installed this plugin, to see a visible increase in speed of my site. To be honest first I just installed this plugin without much hopes, just for testing,but now, without doubt, my site is much faster.Until now I've never saw a problem with this extension.Thank you for this excellent plugin.
