A great plugin that does what it is written for. No fuss, easy to install. My compliments to the developer. Highly recommended!

This extension is great! I was quickly able to install, enable and customize the settings within minutes. Their website was detailed on how to make your own custom font. I, again, was able to do this within minutes of downloading the appropriate files. Only thing I did get confused was that I couldn't see any type in the white box when creating my custom font. However, I just made my type look like they had on the instruction page at their website, and all worked wonderfully! Thanks!

Thank to this plugin I can use old national font at my site and it looks very nice!
Upon my experience you have to check all site pages in all browsers to proof the proper look for all replaced styles. Once you faced some misalignments, first of all check component or module to find if it is properly coded.
Also, author's response is quick.
Good job, Pete!

Being new to all of this i was a little hesitant to pay for the pro version of this plug in, but it claimed to do everything i wanted so i gave it a shot.
To put it mildly i was wrapped with what it achieved and how much it brightened my site. Even more, i had a small issue i needed help with and the site admin had it fixed in minutes and then sent me an email recommending another plug in that may of been of help to me..the guy was sensational.
Absolutely Awesome!!!!!

It's pretty simple and easy to install.
Once question though, is it possible to override each title by CSS? I have different module title that needs to be in different colours. If so, how do I go about it?

Thank you for your review.
It is not possible to set font-colors for sIFR by CSS.
If you need several font-colors you could use the JsIFR3 Pro version to set up to five different styles.

Thanks for the good plugin. What I like most is that you don't need to edit the templates for this plugin, as needed by the other free sIFR plugin and can figure out most things on the plugin config page. So it is easy to try different fonts, the shadow option etc.
I guess most users will be interested in making their own fonts usable with JsIFR3. An easy way would be www.sifrgenerator.com , but it can't produce flash files in the 432 format used by this plugin... Until there is an update for this plugin, you can do the following to update it yourself:
1. install this plugin
2. download the original sIFR for 436 format from http://dev.novemberborn.net/sifr3/nightlies/
3. overwrite the sifr.js file in /plugins/system/jsifr3 with the new version of the same file you find within sifr3-r436.zip
4. convert any true type font using www.sifrgenerator.com
5. upload the resulting sfx file to /plugins/system/jsifr3
6. go to JsIFR3 plugin administration page in joomla, select "custom" font and enter the name of the sfx-file without ".sfx"
7. activate the plugin and there you are.
Additional tipp:
You will probably want to remove some tags from the "css selector" entry on the plugin config page, so that not each and every heading will be flashed.

Very useful plugin. This has made the custom font integration very easy.
But I have a problem in integrating sifr in the top navigation of the sites.
Whenever I define the CSS selector in the sifr plugin, It shows the sifr text on the navigation menus but the cursor remains as 'text'. It does not change to 'pointer. Also when working in IE, siFr area of the link is not clickable.
I dont guess why these problems are occuring. After defining the right CSS selectors. for your information we are using a custom font.

You have most likely used a wrong css-selector so that sIFR doesnt recognize the element as link. If your code looks like (ul class="menu")(li)(a href=...) then you should use ".menu li" as selector and not ".menu li a" as one might think.

This is a good sIFR plugin for J1.5. I originally used it on a site that I was building, but eventually had to replace it with Ninja Super sIFR because it allowed for more styles to be used.
The only problems I had with this plugin was that I needed to use multiple styles of the same font, and as near as I could tell there was no way to use more than one style at a time with this plugin. I actually ended up modifying it and changing the details in the XML file and installing this same plugin twice so I could use two styles on the same site.
The other problem was that on my content headings, it would crop the last 10-30 pixels of the text off, making it unreadable.
Other than that, I was able to get it to work very well. You can't beat the price :), and I'm thankful for developers like this who are making good quality stuff for others to use.
Bottom Line: A very strong component if you don't need a lot of flexibility.

Great plugin! With all those plugins and their different fonts it's nice to have a plugin that can unify everything.
However, if you have a lot of modules, plugins and templates, it's hard to locate the exact css class. I got this nice plugin for Firefox called "web developper" (http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/). After install, right-click on your page/web developper/css/view style info, and now you have all the classes your selection belongs to. Just write the class in the JsIFR3 plugin and you're set.
Would it be possible to have more than one style on a page? For example a font for the menu and a different font for a heading?

We are working on a new version that will enable up to three different fonts/settings on the same page. Release date will be around end of january 2009.

Cool Plugin, it´s super easy to use.
Thanks a lot to the author!
The only Drawback is, that you can use just one flash font for all your css Styles.

Love this plugin (moriwenne: you have to set the plugin to enabled in the plugin manager).
Had to adjust the CSS file because my background picture was missin' when using a flash title in a module.
Would like to see an option to set the margin for a tag - so you can position the flash-title better. Now it's always set at the top of a module - had to add margin-top:25px to the css file to solve this. But sadly it had to be set for all the tags.
Love this plugin though! Keep up the good work.
