Template Toolbar. Jtouch. DreamHost Manager. Gamification Platform. CrowdFunding. CRMery. After a long and extensive search for a functional CRM, I came across this extension (I didn't even consider searching for a Joomla! CRM). Here are my thoughts: The setup is easy. It all flows very well and is easy to understand.
The customization is fantastic as well. Support is top notch. The front end is easy for my employees to navigate. Unlike some of the other stand alone CRMS, my employees would have had a hard time navigating around. Cons: The only con that I can see is setting categories for specific items (deals, people). Projectfork. I rarely make a bad review and I did like PF 3.0 a lot more than PF 4.0 due to more flexibility. I will review PF 4.0 in following title: Permissions: PF 4.0 has been divided to independent subcomponents such as Projects, Milestones, Tasks, etc...
Permissions at each subcomponent is defined separately and independently from each other, this is not good especially when it comes to relations of whole project permissions related to other subcomponents (If Registered users have permissions of Create and Edit Own, then if someone creates a Project, then any other Registered user can add Milestones, Tasks and interfere with everything within that project, in other words you can not create a simple Project Management service unless you manually defined details of permissions for every project).
Join Request and Add User: Again this was a great option PF 3.0, totally missing in PF 4.0. Owner's reply. HikaShop. HS is powerful, with free and paid options. I have used "Essential" twice (probably upgrading one of those to "Business"). I'm a very limited programmer, with a bit of CSS knowledge and next to zero PHP knowledge. I gave it a good as opposed to excellent as it's so complex that customization for non-programmers is difficult. All files that you need to customize can be accessed via the dashboard where changes are saved elsewhere so retained on updated/upgrades - this is very important! The interface is sometimes confusing with editing of php files in one place and css elsewhere, for example. Support is pretty fast and reasonably good, though I felt, at times, not being a programmer hindered me from understanding what they said.
Bottom line is that this is a powerful shopping system with add ons like Hika Market (for front end access - I also used this), but a caution for non-programmers that this is a big mouthful to bite off if straight out of the box is not what you want. Multi Sites. This component has presented a solution to my quest for a true multisite feature for my Joomla-based website. I am a web designer and use Joomla for all my clients' websites. I have been working on a special, personal project for some time now and the multisite feature was the piece that has been missing. JMS Multisites is the answer I have been seeking. JMS Multisites does exactly what is supposed to do, and it presents ENDLESS possibilities. If you are unsure of how to configure your cPanel, WHM, or other advanced server-side configurations (for an advanced installation), Edwin will help you, and let me tell you...his support and knowledge is awesome.
JMS Multisites works right "out of the box", but you must be familiar Joomla and it's configuration. If you need advanced support or an advanced installation of JMS, then there is a paid-support feature that Edwin offers his customers. Edwin, thank you, thank you, thank you. Great component!
