Fare upgrade a Joomla 4.1.2

Vincenzo Di Giacomo (2).

Functionality

sicuramente molto facile nella gestione ma andrebbe aggiornato al 4.1.2

Ease of use

semplicissimo sotto tutti gli aspetti ma purtroppo non funziona su joomla 4.1.2

I used this to: lo usavo per joomla 3 ma nel passaggio al 4.1.2 ho dovuto farne a meno anche se mi piaceva molto

Owner's reply: Thank you very much for using Estimated Reading Time!!

I'm sorry it didn't work for your joomla 4 updated site. As stated in the description the plugin does not guarantee yet compatibility with J4, though in my tests everything works fine.

I'm working on testing it fully on J4 and provide an update, so please, stay tunned and feel free to add an issue at the github page of the plugin with more details of your errors so that I can take them into account ;)

Best!!

Grazie mille Vicenzo!!

Great tool for blogging

I have not read the other comments but this product does what it claims to do and does it well. Definitely a "must have" for me.

Ease of use

So simple. Install; enable; add a splash of colour. Magic. I would prefer "included categories" instead of excluded categories.

I used this to: Informing visitors who read my 'blog to give a rough estimate of how much time each article will take to read.

Perfect extension for modern websites

Perfect to show the reading time for a user. It is very useful for people who want an estimate for the time to spend on a webpage.

Ease of use

Very easy to use. Just download it from the server and install it. I am using the plugin with K2. I customized the presentation. Easy to do.

Support

Perfect. I got a small problem. Carlos replied to me within hours. He was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Documentation

Great. Easy to read, to understand. I wanted to override the presentation for my blog. It was well explained to do.

I used this to: I am using the extension to show the reading for my blog articles running under K2. It helps the readers to know who long it will take to read the full article. I guess that nowadays it is important.

works well, but I no need in kategory blog

Functionality

De readingtime indicator Works nice but you need a bit of PHP hacking for adjustments.

The Reading Indicator bar does not work well.

Ease of use

Yes, if you like the preset settings

The reading indicator bar shows on pages where the reading indicator is not active.

Support

Don't know yet. The plugin should be a module really. That way it could come with more flexibility for including and excluding website pages

Documentation

A little bit poor for basic users but efficient for intermediate Joomla users.

I used this to: I'll give it a try on a commercial and educational website but I am not sure if it last long. I am happy to pay for a better product

Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your honest review!! Please feel free to contact me directly at the extensions page or at Github with your suggestions and all the issues you find in the plugin.

I would love to keep improving this plugin and making it better and your ideas and experience with the plugin will definitely help me ;)

Functionality

Very good. And I would like to have some icon like ads space for that specific items.

Ease of use

Let these ads space flyout when hover or %opacity maybe pretty for viewing.

Owner's reply: Thank you for your review!! I'm not sure if I understand your suggestion. Can you please contact me through https://extensions.hepta.es/custom-work and give me more details? I will be glad to add some new features in next release ;)

Outstanding

A great plugin for a blog or story site

Ease of use

Works like a charm. Just exclude some categories (if preferred) and there it goes.

I used this to: A story site. That's why I would like an addition to the plugin.
Right now it outputs "Reading time: x to x minutes" An output like: "Word count: xx | Reading time x to x minutes' would be superb.

Owner's reply: Hi Willem,
thank you for your kind words!!

I have just read your comment and as I'm pushing a new release I have included word count in the plugin. It will not be shown by default but you can easily create a template overrides to show it as detailed in the documentation: https://extensions.hepta.es/estimated-reading-time/documentation#overrides

Best!!

The power of simplicity: it just does what's promised. Nice addition for a blog or news site. Would love to see it upgraded for 3.x :).
