Simple Image Gallery (in content items)
*** Native Joomla! 1.5 version now available! ***

Adding image galleries inside your Joomla! articles (content items) is now super-easy and simple, using the "Simple Image Gallery" Plugin for Joomla! 1.0.x & 1.5.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.

Full documentation is included in the plugin's parameters page.

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 (May 27th, 2008)***
*************************************************
Native Joomla! 1.5 version released.

*************************************************
***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!

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).


Really amazing gallery! by pagliuca, October 10, 2007
Simply and excellent. Great work!
Easy to install, supports different encodings; nice look... Suitable for my needs.


Thank You So Much! by Catssuck, October 4, 2007
Having struggled with other Ajax based extensions not working in IE and no work arounds to be found it was with some trepidation that I downloaded and installed Simple Image Gallery.

My fears were completely unfounded! The plug-in worked like a dream from the moment I installed it! I cannot tell you how impressed I am at the ease of adding multiple galleries/images to single pages (including the frontpage) of my joomla sites!

Once the site is live and the client has paid I will gladly donate or purchase the pro version. Please keep up the great work and now I want to go explore the other extensions you have created!

This is one completely satisfied user.


Great, but "mute"! by Orchid85, September 29, 2007
This gallery is really simple to use, and with a really good interface.

My complains are it lacks of some basic useful features:

1- add a description (best would be to have the description both under the thumbnail and under the image when it is shown at full size) that allows to put a link to download the original image as well!

How am I supposed to name and identify the images for the user? The same for download them.

...this makes it a singular "mute" gallery! :P

2- maybe this is not a gallery duty, but I would like to show just one defined image in some case, not the whole directory.
Some kind of: "{ gallery }folder/image.jpg { /gallery }"

Currently it seems these basic features aren't even included in the PRO version... Otherwise I would buy it.

This is an excellent for putting a gallery into content items. Is there a way for it to work with contacts?


Power in simplicity by thinkart, September 2, 2007
I´ve tried quite a few gallery extensions and finally sticked with this one. Two great things here are: very easy image management (just ftp images to a folder and write the given code in the content); great look! Quite proud to finally get the right solution. Thumbs up, you greeks!!!


Simple Image Gallery by yaani, August 31, 2007
Really nice gallery! Easy to install, easy to add galleries to content items. I liked it so much I went & bought Simple Image Gallery Pro. Well worth the money for the added features. Thanks!


Great by peeweejd, August 31, 2007
Simple to install, very easy to use, looks great!


Sweet by vronick, August 4, 2007
This is a sweet plug-in. Just like all allvideos plug-in, it works the first time. I have spent the last couple days looking for a nice simple gallery. I don't think I'm stupid, but I could not manage many other gallery components and modules. They all try and be "easy" with the admin upload section for photos, but I just can't get those to work. Easier for me to just put the photos on my server myself. And the upload would never work for me. But, Simple Image Gallery is simple and sweet! One question, my thumbnails are showing up. They are just little white squares. Any help would be great!


Great Module - Easy to Install by nkendrick, August 2, 2007
What this module does is so simple, it is easy to install and the results are great. This must be one of the easiest ways to add a simple gallery to your site. Well worth a look and thanks to the developers.


Almost Perfect! by duru, July 26, 2007
Simple Image Gallery is almost perfect.

I wished somebody would create a component version of this, in that you can upload and edit galleries while editing your article but nevertheless this works great.

Thank you people for thinking this.


Excellent! by webgyrl, July 5, 2007
I am using the PRO version of this Mambot and I have to say, after searching and trying about 5 different galleries (all had conflicts with other components/modules/mambots!) this one works and is very slick looking. Took me no time at all to install, configure and get a very sleek looking gallery! Kudos and thanks!


I love this plugin so much But ... by bigdread, June 28, 2007
I and some others have the problem that if you use this plugin and their video plugin on the fontpage at the same time, it generates an error when you open your site in IE.

Their is no solution yet but for who has the same problem visit this thread where hopefully the solution will be posted soon:
http://forum.joomlaworks.gr/index.php?topic=382.0

I Need to say one more thing:

KEEP UP MAKING THESE GREAT PLUGINS!!


SIG works pretty nice! SIG PRO is even better! by dagnome, June 27, 2007
installs quickly, pretty simple to get running - SIG PRO really is the Pip, though as it adds captions which are VERY cool...
