Useful Joomla extensions

The reason for installing modules and plugins in Joomla is to expand the functionality of your website. This is a list of some extensions I tested on my templates and I recommend you. It's only the esential. Of course, you can find thousand others extensions here.

While these free Joomla components and modules are not perfect, I have found them to be highly notable Joomla additions. Please note that I have absolutely no affiliation with any of these extensions or their developers. Simply stated...they work well, so I use them ! I hope you will find them usefull as well !

Note : I can't support this extensions. If you have a problem, contact the developer please.

1. A very good wysiwyg editor : JCE non-commercial

An award-winning, configurable WYSIWYG editor for Joomla.
Includes advanced Image/Media, File and Link handling, plugin support, and an Administration interface for editor configuration.

It's the first extension I install in every site.

2. Sigplus Image Gallery non-commercial

Sigplus Image Gallery is a straightforward way to add image or photo galleries to a Joomla article with a simple syntax. It takes a matter of minutes to set up a gallery but those who are looking for a powerful gallery solution will not be disappointed either: sigplus is suitable for both beginner and advanced users.

Despite its versatility, sigplus is completely free.

Tips : If you have this error : NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `/tmp/magick-XXbYDDua'
Edit the Sigplus plugin and change the image library from default to Graphics Draw.

3. Slideshow module non-commercial

Ari Image slider module provides possibility to create image slideshow based on images from specific folder(s).

This module is very easy to use, powerfull and free. I include this module on almost all my templates and I used it on each demo.

4. Url-rewriting : sh404SEF commercial

This Joomla component helps you incorporate SEO and into your Joomla site. This component is support of most popular extensions and relatively ease of use.

Note : With all JoomSpirit templates, the article titles are already H1 (and not H2 with the original Joomla code)

Note 2 : This is a commercial extension since 2 years but a very good product.
