I used each and every content construction extension out there. No doubt, they all have their strengths, benefits and weaknesses. Somehow, its possible to build an extended content type in any of them. It really depends on the project and your needs. Custom type building and submission is common to all of them...
**But did you think about how visiters browse and search your extended content types?

In my humble opinion, these are the major reasons to use COBALT as your Joomla CCK:
Advanced Search and Filters
(total results are shown before any search is made!!!)
Multiple Types per section
Moderator Manager & Notifications
Template-based in all parts
etc. etc.
Definitely try it out – it's FREE!
Even more advanced modules and fields can be purchased seperately for lifetime! or accessed via club membership. Check them out as well!
**Conclusion:
**
If K2 is an extended com_content, and ZOO is the pretty iPhone of a content component... than MintJoomla COBALT is more like Drupal7 Fields and the exposed filters of Views ;-)
I have to repeat myself and I will use the same statement I used for its pre-decessor "ME Resources": This Extension makes Joomla! a full-fledged CMS and ContentBuilder. Period.
If you like it, too. Leave a testimony topic or give a rating on JED!
