JCollection is now feature-complete and ready for testing. Feedback and possibly translations welcome!
With JCollection the webmaster can manage and present a collection of books/CDs/DVDs (or other things) and use various webservices (Amazon, eBay, Google books, last.fm, ISBNdb) to fetch additional information and offers for each item.
Main features of JCollection:
* Native Joomla 1.5 component
* Categories and subcategories, each of which is separately linkable to a menu entry
* Very flexible lists (that can also serve as tags)
* Nested reviews for each item
* Integration of the component JComments and/or of the webservice Disqus.com
* Definition files for JoomFish
The component Collection Manager for Joomla 1.0 has had its final release (0.4.3) and will no longer be updated (unless there is a major bug).

looks very promising to me. I try to use it for filmographic lists for an actors site. hope it will make it.
try to implement more online databases like imdb and amazon enabled to turn on/off. and you will have the place number one.

Wow! I've been wrestling with finding something like this for too long. This is by far a better solution than jinking with Book Library. Smooth installation and flawless execution. Even support for lists!
A great recommendation for anyone who just wants to share their collection of stuff with their friends!

Great component here! Runs smoothly and has all the functionality i'd expect in a collection manager component - i specially like the modules that show latest content from one category or from all of them.
It's also easily configurable (with a little knowledge of web tecnologies) to fit any special needs.

Installed on Joomla 1.5 without any problems. I would like to cut the amazon connection, but doesn't seem to be easy.

Thanks for that. Nice little private library catalogue I have now. Just fill in the ISBN and Amazon gets the rest. Make categories etc. Brilliant. And I havent even started on my DVDs yet.

Very easy to install with nice configuration and great options to pull content from Amazon should be a winner look forward to putting it to work.

installs easy. easy to configure. you can modify it to manage a variety of collections. I have it pulling a variety of titles from amazon and managing a couple of other collections and inventory.
installed and running in about 5 minutes. completely intuitive. includes modules, bots and a clean interface. easily outshines all the other Amazon affiliate extensions I've tried.
documentation is clear, though lacks explanation of linking amazon affiliate payments. Lacks the ability to control access levels for users and guests.
