With well over 5000 extensions available, and growing every day, in the Joomla Extensions Directory, the task of picking the perfect one can be a challeng
ing task.
I've written a few tips regarding how you can pick the right extensions for your use, and how to avoid trouble using them.
- Search the directory for the keywords related to your need.
- Find an extension which sounds right for you
- Start by checking out when the extension was last updated. This says something about the commitment of the developer.
- Read the user reviews written for the particular extension.
Are they good? Bad? Do they say anything about the support given by the developer? How about known conflicts with other extensions or common problems? - Visit the developer's website
- Look at any demo pages available to determine how the extension works
- Search the Joomla forum to find any problems experienced by users of the extension
- Be willing to pay a little for some professionally designed extensions, yes there are a lot of free ones, but come on, $10 isn't going to break your bank
