 *** 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.

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!

I installed it in one of my sites. Then I bought the pro version. Amazing how simple and efficient it is. Hope it will get slightly more config options and that navigations buttons will be out of the pictures for all the different lay out.
In conclusion : perfectible, but great job! |
| Nice and simple by CorossiNL, November 16, 2008 |

It's really easy to setup. Their are very less setting to customize, which is a shame. It would be nice if a user clicks on a thumbnail would also have the option to download the original file, instead of only viewing it. |
| It works right on 1st installation with no tweaking! by jasonlim, November 4, 2008 |

I like multithumb, for the neat layout of the thumbnails. Every single thumbnail is auto-crop to the same size, which arrange nicely in any web page. But strange multithumb does not work in every joomla template. So when luck is not in your way multithumb will fail, I can't change the site template just to make multithumb works so I start to look around for another simple gallery.
I installed Simple Image Gallery, never tweak a single thing, it work exactly the way it said, when follow the simple instruction how to apply the moscode.
If SIG has features like multithumb to crop thumbnails to the same size (width & height) it would perfect. When all the thumbnail is of the same size it will arrange neatly on any web page.
And it work on both joomla 1.0x & 1.5x. |
| Just what I was looking for... by ITByTheSea, October 23, 2008 |

Simple to install. Simple to use. Very flexible. Way more flexible than the galleries, for instance. Allows to show pictures inside an article.
Perfect.
Thanks bunches. |

Simple and easy gallery. The layout is plain and basic - there are fancier galleries out their for free - but SIG allows you multiple galleries within your images directory, and you can use the Joomla media manager to upload the photos.
So I'm being honest here and giving this an average rating. (sick of people giving everything an excellent rating - it wastes everyones time).
What really bugs me is all the advertising you need to wade through to see a the real demo of this extension. Most of the stuff you need to pay for. I've looked at this extension before and left it alone after getting peeved off with the adds and high level marketing. |
| simpel to use!!! by leen, October 3, 2008 |

| Actually Easy to Get Going by MsCindyIThink, September 29, 2008 |

Once I figured out that to install the plug-in I needed to use the mambot installation tool it was very easy to get working. In a few minutes I had my first article with gallery posted, then made decisions about resizing photos before upload and thumbnail settings on the mambot edit page. Easy to use and seems fine to me. Probably the easiest item I've added to the site I work on in three years.
Thanks! |
| Does it exactly what it says on the tin by marnie1310, September 2, 2008 |
|
It's quick, easy and straightforward. Shame about the html code appearing in the alt and title fields but was able to change these in the code. Nice background gradient on the thumbnails. |
| Neat and Clean! by fireworks.software, July 27, 2008 |

This is very neat and clean!
It does what it says, no worrying about having to publish or organize your images - just upload it to your directory, but one simple line in your article and there you go!
I built a large gallery using joomla content section and categorys with articles being the gallery directorys. I works flawlessly and very simple!
The only thing I wish the free version should have added once, is pagination for really large folders! Add this, and it will be an 5stars plug-in! |
| Fantastic by fads100, July 9, 2008 |
|
I have used this a couple of times and it does what is says.
Simple to install, only one small line of code to put on the artical page {gallery}myphotos{/gallery}, upload the images and you are done.
If you want to show images quickly and easily this is for you. |
| less than impressive by lividsnails, June 12, 2008 |

The good news is that this is a simple easy-to-install and easy-to-use component. The bad news is it has lots of bugs and some design flaws that make it not very intuitive to the end user.
The bugs are:
-file names of the photos in your gallery cannot have any capital letters or it will crash.
-depending on which style you choose some will display photos incompletely with half the photo not appearing at all if you move your mouse out of the frame. If you move your mouse into the frame the photo will appear in its entirety but then you have to look at the navigation buttons.
-sometimes the close button disappears (on the lytebox setting) and then users don't know how to get out of the show.
design flaws:
-navigation!! Every single end user complained that it's not intuitive as to how to move to the next slide. This could be solved by having the next and previous buttons appear by default for the first few seconds and then disappearing until the user mouses over them again. Or better yet, take them out of the picture window entirely and put them down in the caption area.
-it'd be nice if vertical photos could have their captions displayed NEXT to them instead of underneath them. Displaying the caption underneath vertical photos makes the viewer have to scroll down to see it.
All in all I'd say it's not a bad component but it's not worth buying the pro version. |
| It Works and It's Easy by bbw, May 29, 2008 |

needed a simple, quick no frills way to display a bunch of images wherever I wanted them to be... It worked first time around and I use it frequently now... a good alternative if Gallery or similar is overkill for your needs... |

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... |
