This is a must for any serious Joomla user. It should be part of the core.. but then again, it probably wouldn't wok as well as this.

I did have an issue with very particular circumstances, but supported fixed it and released and public update quickly. Quality!

One article that belongs to more than one category; This component needs to be part of the basic Joomla install. The download was easy. The price was right. The support for the minor issue I had getting it to work with my custom template was top notch. Well done.

This is an excellent extension, god knows why it's not already part of Joomla. It's really easy to use and any problem I've encountered has been solved by Pavel within a few hours :)

Probably the most useful extension I have used in terms of allowing more flexibility and control over my site. Does multi-categories exactly as you'd expect.

I had one issue with apostrophes in the cat name causing an problem - I submitted a ticket and Pawel had it sorted within a day. Fantastic support which is just as important as how useful the extension is. For a few quid it is worth every penny.

Keep up the good work!

One of my most useful components of Joomla. It was worth disabling another one I like and use to be able to use this one. When I need the other, I re-enable it.
Thanks for what is becoming an essential extension for my web site.

At first installation I encountered problem due to web hosting limitations. But with the help of the developper, we got it up and running easily. I recommend this component to anyone who is looking for a simple and comprehensive way to use a mutli-category system for frontend and backend users !!

This component looks so far like the best multicategory system i've happened to try for Joomla. I had an issue with getting it to work because of something related to my hosting, and i received quick and efficient support. It overall gets an excellent rating from me!

Works perfectly and nice article preview as an added extra feature. Had a small issue with Admin Tools Pro blocking a file but Pavel offered fast and effective support and solved the issue for me rapidly. Great extension! Thanks Pavel.
