Simple Image Gallery (in content items)
*** NOW updated to version 1.2.1 (see changelog below) ***

Adding image galleries inside your Joomla! articles (content items) is now super-easy and simple, using the "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin v1.0 for Joomla! 1.0.x.

Just add for example {gallery}myphotos{/gallery} inside any article and all images existing in the folder "myphotos" will be "automagically" presented as an image gallery.

The gallery created features stylish shadows on each thumbnail and "lightbox" popups to display the original images, when the user clicks on a thumbnail! The thumbnails are generated on the fly using PHP, which means that the original images are resized and resampled, too!

Anxious to see the "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin in action? Then visit our exclusive demo site at:
http://demo.joomlaworks.gr

What are the advantages of using it?
a) You don't need to have an additional gallery component to display a few images,
b) you don't need to tell your visitors "to see our photos from Paris click here" and
c) you focus more on content writing and less on administering the images!

The plugin is ideal for news portals wanting to display some product images, for example, inside their articles. The potential of this plugin is actually only limited by your imagination!

You can have as many galleries as you want inside each content item, but for performance purposes try to only add one at a time (unless you're having only 2-3 images per gallery). If you want to create a gallery from subfolders inside images/stories/, simple add them like this: {gallery}folder/subfolder/othersubfolder{/gallery}. In other words, write the path to your target folder without any slashes at the beginning or the end of your path. Future releases will feature more control over the galleries created as well as different representations!

The "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin from JoomlaWorks utilizes "Slimbox" (developed by Christophe Beyls), which is a "Mootools" implentation of the famous "Lightbox" script. "Slimbox" generates the nice popups that display the original images in a gallery.

If you want to show your support on our work, please rate and comment on the plugin, here, at Joomla! Extensions.

The "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin is released under the GNU/GPL license.

Have fun creating galleries inside your Joomla! content items!

*************************************************
***Version 1.2.1 Changelog (January 6th, 2007)***
*************************************************
Minor code fix for the lightbox-like popup window's slideshow mode.

***********************************************
***Version 1.2 Changelog (January 5th, 2007)***
***********************************************
Today we are releasing the much anticipated version 1.2 of the "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin for Joomla! 1.0.x. This new version features a "troubleshooting" section in the documentation, covering all possible issues that users might encounter, which usually relate to bad server setups or bad templates. In 1.2 we have:
- Fixed multiple galleries on same content item issue. This includes the slide show.
- Added the ability to select whether to display a nice message plus the filename or just the filename in the image popup window.
- Added the ability to select whether to display a navigation tip or not in the image popup window.
- Done some minor code and usability fixes.

************************************************
***Version 1.1 Changelog (December 8th, 2006)***
************************************************
We have updated the "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin, now in version 1.1, to reflect user feedback and requests. The changes are many and we hope you like this one even more.
In version 1.1 we have done the following:
- Some minor code changes.
- Thumbnails now stretch to fill entire available content width.
- Thumbnails align as if they existed in a table. Don't worry, we've kept the divs, no tables here!
- Fixed broken shadow frame for images whose height is bigger than their width.
- Fixed PNG thumbnail preview.
- Added slideshow mode to the popups. Now the user can browse through the images without the need to close one image to open the next. The user navigates through images by clicking the "next" and "previous" buttons appearing on top of the image (on the right and left hand sides of the image respectively).
- Removed the image "filename" from the preview popup window. Instead we added the option for you to insert a nice message like: "You are browsing images from the article...". Type this message in the parameters.
Enjoy!

***************************************************
****** IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE INSTALLATION ******
***************************************************
To install the plugin go to your Joomla! site backend and navigate to "Installers >> Mambots". Upload the "Simple Image Gallery" plugin you just downloaded from http://www.joomlaworks.gr and after installation click on "Continue...". To publish the plugin, access its settings and read all necessery documentation, you need to navigate to "Mambots >> Site Mambots >> Simple Image Gallery". If -for some reason- you encounter a "restricted access..." message while trying to access the plugin's parameters page, you need to patch one (1) file in Joomla! (only version 1.0.11). For the solution (and patch) to this issue, please see this official post in the Joomla! forum:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,99636.0.html

Thanks!

nice design but... by grustni, May 9, 2008
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
This is a great plugin, but when i installed it on Joomla 1.5 stable - it did not work for some reason, so i had to download another plugin to make it work. Once I have installed another plugin, it looked and worked well. But there was another down side, that there is no order of pictures unfortunately...


A simple gallery without needing any extras by WhatsOnSA, May 1, 2008
The installation of this mambot was very easy and without any fiddling it just works, saving me lots of time and now I am able to show my visitors so many more photos than I would usuall be able to do due to time constraints.

Thank you very much for this extention


Works A Treat by Melba, May 1, 2008
I have used this on a couple of sites now and on my first commercial (non-intranet) site and I'm impressed - it does just what it should with no tweaking.


Failure in IE7 by cinderelly, April 29, 2008
hi
this mambot works fine with firefox, but not with IE7. It will only generate the backgrounds of the thumbnails, or it will put the thumbnails just anywhere on the screen, but not on the backgrounds...

too bad ... its a nice mambot... any ideas of how to fix this for IE7 ?


So Simple! by paul_toz, April 19, 2008
Installation was really straightforward. Use the Mambot Installer, then it's all done. Drop images into folders in the right place and then a few words in the content. Finished. Took me 15 minutes from "I'll give this a try' to looking at photos on the webpage.


Does just what it says it does by imorgan, March 5, 2008
I've been using Joomla for just over a week. I know nothing about Unix and PHP is a closed book. Yet I managed to get this installed and working in just over 15 minutes.

It installs as a Mambot flawlessly, I had to reset the ownership on the directories and files and then figure out that when you are told to write {gallery}directory{/gallery} you don't need to put any more path information than that.

One small issue (and it may be me). If you upload an image and create a content item that uses it, then overwrite the image (say, with a smaller version) you have to re-open and then save the content item to see the new version.

If you still aren't sure; give it a go - you'll soon see how simple Simple Image Gallery is.


Profesional Simplicity by la3ssirman, March 3, 2008
Great extension to go with your photo galleries. "Simple Image Gallery" As it says. Recommend for everyone.
http://www.joomlaworks.gr is one the outstanding Joomla Extensions developers.


Simpley Great by International Angler, February 29, 2008
I have yet to see anything out there that even come close to the SIG.

Easy to get up and running.

Enough options (who needs 100s)

Does the job and does it well


Limited, but easy to use by qazwart, February 13, 2008
Download the pictures into a directory, create your story and add

{gallery}image_directory{/gallery}

to your story. That's it. Thumbnails are automatically created and displayed. Clicking on the left or right side of the picture advances to the next or previous picture. User interface is obvious and well thought out.

Directions and documentation is excellent. However, there are some minor limitations:

* No picture order: The pictures are displayed in alphanumeric order. You can't specify the order.
* No resizing: Thumbnails are created automatically, but the picture images display as actual size. We had to resize our images because they were too big.
* No comments. Only the file name is displayed.
* No layout options in the thumbnail gallery. Thumbnails are displayed depending upon the width of the webpage.
* Can take a while to load. Thumbnails are created on the fly.

Obvious you can't use this for a site that is selling paintings, but for most sites, this works great.I'm quite happy with it.


Fantastic!!! by rsenthilkumar, February 6, 2008

Love this Product!! by rpmnava, January 7, 2008
Just as most of these posts state... This is aesome and easy to use o a begginer like me. After messing with a half dozen others, I found this to be the gallery tool for me. Administering my site is more than enough with out having to think about a gallery. Thank You Guys!

Now for the Bad part, Dont know where the conflict lies but Anywhere an album is my tabbed rokslide goes out whack. Any Ideas??

Great! by sayuro, December 31, 2007
I've installed and start to use so easy that it amazed me!
Do everything it says, is simple, easy to use and light.

To improve the bot, who needs the gallery on multi-lingual site, you can edit the files:
/yoursitepath/mambots/content/plugin_jw_sig.php: line 70
#else {$html .= ''.$images[$a]['filename'].'';}
This line shows the image filename. I just deleted this one, because this name can be anything that a "dumb" user may not know.
One more thing here, I wrote the image counting ("Image # of ##") here on PHP, because I can't translate it on slimbox.js. I've add:
$html .= _IMAGE.' '.($a+1).' '._OF.' '.$noimage;
** The _IMAGE and _OF are set on your site languages.

On the file:
/yoursitepath/mambots/content/plugin_jw_sig/slimbox.js: line 138
#this.number.setHTML((this.images.length == 1) ? '' : 'Image '+(this.activeImage+1)+' of '+this.images.length);
I've just deleted this one too.

Then, to the site languages, by the backend menu:
Site > Language Manager > Site Languages

Add these lines on every language:
/** Simple Image Gallery **/
DEFINE('_IMAGE','Image');
DEFINE('_OF','of');

Thanks for this great bot!


great plugin! by mikel, October 20, 2007
Simple, like the name says!,and easy in use and beautiful results!


Very simple to use! by ecotack, October 17, 2007
Easy to use, works well, but...

If I have lots of large images in a gallery then creating the thumbnails is very slow. Saving the thumbnails the first time they are created or being able to use my own would help (e.g., if tn_ exists use it instead).
