Owner's reply: Thanks for taking the time to post a review. I apologize that you were not able to contact me via the support forum. You may also contact me via the support email listed in the contact section of the forum, or via the contact form at: https://www.valorapps.com/contact-us.html. The extension will work on every site, as there is nothing in the code that limits its use.

Good module

With a few additions to the MIME types I managed to get this extension uploading all the files I wanted with minimal effort.

Ease of use

Pretty straightforward, but really need email notification when clients upload files. I may have to search elsewhere regrettably.

I used this to: Mostly used for uploading manuscripts for publishing.

Simple, good, easy to use

Good

I used this to: It works well in Joomla 3.5
I am using it with 10 uploads but would prefer it not to emit the red message for each of the uploads which is not used. e.g. the form displays 10 browse lines but a user only wants to upload 3. It would be good to be able to suppress the 7 warnings

Owner's reply: Thanks so much for taking the time to review and rate my extension. Please note that since version 2.7.5, you are now able to hide the notice when no file was selected by the user for upload. Also, the notice level for no file uploaded has been changed form red (error) to light orange (warning). Thanks for your continued support and reviews!

I got an error

doest what it says

very easy to to use without any tutorial

yes

Documentation

easy

I used this to: i tried to use for users to upload pdf documents but i discovered i got some errors after successful upload. /home/myafrish/public_html/awdi/modules/mod_easyfileuploader/helper.php on line 47.

if possible there should be a limit to what users can upload

Owner's reply: Thanks for taking the time to post your review on JED. The 'error' you mention is a PHP "Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference" warning. Not all servers display these warnings to users. I respond to every email sent to my support email address, support[at]valorapps[dot]com. Unfortunately, in responding to an email about this same issue last week, I got an "Undelivered mail returned to sender". It seems that the email address was entered incorrectly in the "Contact Us" form. Maybe that returned email was yours, but I don't know, and I did not have any other means of responding if the email was returned. I am sorry for you not getting the support you needed, but it was beyond my control. I have since removed the reference that triggered the strict standards warning in version 2.7.1, so it should work without this issue. Best Regards.

Highly Recommended

Uploads in style

This might not be exactly what everyone is looking for but I really think it is super cool. What I really like is Option to save files in username subfolders which means every file is easy to find and I don't need to track who is uploading. I wish more extension where as simple and effective as this one.

Great job developers!!

EXCELLENT!

I needed a way for logged in clients to submit artwork to my site as easily as possible. It doesn't get easier than this! KUDOS!!!!

I don't ordinarily do reviews but it was very necessary on this module. I am using this module and the Easy Folder Listing module for a client who needs to post multiple types of files daily for his visitors but doesn't need/want to learn anything about FTP. This is a great solution and the support has been phenomenal. Michael went above and beyond assisting me in troubleshooting a problem that turned out to be something on my own computer. I highly recommend this module and am going to investigate Michael's other modules as well because I know any support I need will be there.

No module class suffix

I installed it effortlessly and go it to work, but I can't use this extension because it does not provide the ability to apply a style suffix. If that's important to you, then keep looking.
