Joomla Resources

Extensions used for Joomla Hosting Reviews:

jReviews is at the core this site. This extension allowed us to add all of the custom fields and produce all of the editor and user reviews. jReviews uses a very flexible template system which allows for complete control to dispay your reviewed items.
Alledia SEO Club Okay Alledia did not actually contribute a component but knowledge gained through their SEO club, allowed us to greatly improve in our search engine rankings. You most likely arrived here through a search engine and we have Alledia to thank for that. You can have the best site in the world but if no one visits it, you have not accomplished that much. If you have a joomla site and would like to improve your search engine ranking the Alledia SEO club is for you.
sh404SEF turns the default Joomla urls into a Search Engine Friendly URL. This allows for a higher search engine ranking. In addition to SEF URLs sh404SEF will transform you page titles to the correct H1 tags, place no follow tags on your print and PDF links to avoid duplicate content penalties and many other great SEO features.
SEF Patch is created by Joomlatwork. This patch updates several of the core joomla files and allows you to enter unique meta titles, descriptions, and keywords. They have two versions a free one and a pay one. The pay version is around $12 and we recommend spending the money for it. It allows for much easier install and configuration.
Fireboard is created by Best of Joomla and provides the forum functionality. A great feature of Fireboard is that no hacking or bridges are required to integrate fireboard into Joomla.

Highly Rated Template Clubs

RocketTheme Template Club Rocket Theme consistently provides unique creative templates.
Joomlart We have used many of their great templates. In fact, the Joomla Hosting Review template is a highly modified Joomlart template. In the interest of full disclosure the support is not always the best. Questions get answered but sometimes it can take a while. They have two moderators which do an excellent job they have lots to keep up with. We still use Joomlart for many of our sites and are happy with the templates, we just hope that we do not run into any issues.
