Ive Brought EDIR so good so far but while reading the manual two things bother me.
1. It seem customers have to register twice. First to become a member of Elxis and Second to become a member of EDIR. Is it not possible to join the two to make one registration. Or at least an option to do so. Making the whole process far more simple and stops any confusion for the members?
2. It seems when a member creates a listing, the administrator has to enable iModules for that listing every time. Is it not possible to enable iModules by default on a user group permission basses thus saving a huge amount of time on administration. It just seems crazy that you have to enable it each and every listing that is created.
Also i have paid for My Agenta but haven't been given a download link for it yet. Please could you give me one :)
Now i have tested EDIR on my server i am even more highly impressed than i was before. You have made the component very easy to use with huge possibility's. Congratulations ;D

Hi canton.
1. Don't bother user registration with paid subscriptions. A visitor registers once in Elxis and is registered for EDir also. ONLY IF you wish to use subscriptions they need to get subscribed (pay). Thats why the EDir subscription procedure exists. Subscribers normally can see content that is only for subscribers (people they have paid) and even normal users can not access.
2. iModules are declared in template and only once. I think you mean EDir extensions and not imodules. EDir extensions have to be loaded for every listing independently in order to be able to say that this listing contains cars, this one contains hotel rooms, I want to be able users to comment this listing and not the other one etc. With EDir and this mechanism you can have listings that are totally different between them. It is a little time consuming but I it is the only way you can seperate listings.
As for the My Agenta module I got an e-mail return due to have been marked as spam. Please send manually an e-mail to ia [AT] goup [DOT] gr (Ilias Antonopoulos) and tell him to send you the module.
Thank you.

Hi Datahell,
Thanks for the quick reply. :)
1. Thank you for clearing that up for me. obviously my understanding of that point was wrong.
2. Yes thank you i did mean extensions. Ive never been quick of the mark first thing in the morning. :P ;D
... Im creating a Real Estate website that would need certain extensions enabled all the time regardless of the type of listing. Is it not possible to at least to amend EDIR to give an option to enable the extensions permenatley on a User Group permission bases. As i'm sure you can appreciate this would cut down on a huge amount time on administration.
Especialy if there are 100+ people joining the website everyday. I can see how this would be needed for so many other applications. As it is i mmay have at least two projects in the very near future that would need this alone
and as for My Agenta i've just sent that email...

Hi Canton,
As I told you in the email I send you, you had specified an incorrect email address.
I tried to send you the module yesterday but that wasn't possible because it was bounching back.
I even tried to call you and report the problem.
So the only solution was to wait until you contact us, as you did.
I hope that by now, you have received my email and the module.

Open administrator/components/com_edir/edir.class.php
go to line 1002.
Instead of this:
var $extensions=null;
write this:
var $extensions='reservations';
Save the file.
Done.
It will load you extension reservations for new listings without having to load it manually. If you need to automatically load another extension write it next to it by seperating the two extensions with a "|".
General example:
var $extensions='extension1|extension2|extension3.....';
