We've just finished implementing an appointment booking and management system for a clients Joomla site, after looking into a number of possible components we choose Appointment Booking Pro by Softventures, this system includes a wide range of excellent features including a full mobile app for booking and mangement. Integrated with Paypal for instant payment of appoinments book this covered all requriements for the clients site and just required us to implement it and customize to their exact needs.

After installing the Phoca gallery Joomla 1.5 Native component on a Joomla site I am impressed with the functionality of this component and the ease of installation and configuration.

In only a few clicks the component was installed and it had created albums and thumbnails for over a hundred pictures in seconds.

Some limitations are there are no options to purchase a licence and remove the phoca logo, It hasn't quite intergrated into the open source ecommerce system VirtueMart as well as some people had hoped, but I plan to look into developing a solution to this shortly.

Overall it's an excellent component and I havn't even needed to change the theme or default styling as I feel it fits in with the sites look and feel.
