  • Eh…

    Worked. But I ended up deleting the plugin and adding a few lines of code to do the same thing.

  • There are betters ones

    This plugin was extensively researched by our programmers and was compared to others with similar solutions. Lacks features, its design is weak and we found conflicts with other plugins. It's the 3rd time that we find Barn2 plugins not satisfactory.
