What our users say

5.0

Average from 10 reviews on the Joomla Extension Directory

  • Works like it promises. Easy to install and use. Very quick and good support. Well documented. Could be a little bit cheaper, but hey I'm Dutch. I used this with Joomla 3.8.5.

    Luc Joomla Extension Directory

  • Does exactly what is says. Nice styled popups that contain an article of choice. Just follow the instructions and you will be up and running in no time. The code you use to add the popup is easy to understand. Had a problem with the position of the popup (most likely caused by my template). Requested support and got a solution almost immediately. Worth every penny! I use clickable images to display the popups on a website I made for a client.

    Tim Kempeneers Joomla Extension Directory

  • Very comprehensive functionality. Takes a bit of getting used to, but overall very easy. I had a bit of an issue with the module displaying on my site. The support was quick, courteous, and effective. Highly recommend. The functionality provided is well worth the price.

    George Miller Joomla Extension Directory

    Daniel Thaler Joomla Extension Directory

  • I bought this plugin, it works very well but I needed a change to the source code. The support was amazing: I often purchase extensions for Joomla but this has been the best support I've ever received. Thank you infyways team!

    Andrea Fenili Joomla Extension Directory

  • Very comprehensive setup instructions for this plugin and if you require support, the response is fast and courteous with detailed steps to fix the problem. Highly recommend this extension.

    Denise Hodgins Joomla Extension Directory

  • A great plugin. The only problem I encountered was a overlay problem in IE with an embedded youtube video. The popup was hided behind this video. The support team picked this up very quickly and supported me with a modification of the specific article. Now it's working fine!
