*** Now featuring 5 popup engines and 2 layouts! More coming soon! ***

The PRO version of the popular "Simple Image Gallery" plugin by JoomlaWorks is finally here, redefining the way we add image galleries inside Joomla! articles (content items). Compared to the free version of the plugin, "Simple Image Gallery PRO" offers many additional features, including:

- Advanced thumbnail caching (for improved performance)
- Custom galleries per content item, with varying thumbnail dimensions per gallery (you can have for example one the same content item one gallery with thumbs at 200px wide and another at 140px wide!)
- 2 different thumbnail layouts (more coming on v1.3)
- Captions on thumbnails
- Individual titles (labels) per image on popups
- Caption word limit to prevent long captions from hiding entirely the thumbnail image
- You can choose to hide thumbnail "captions", but keep popup image "labels". This feature came as a request by many people who did not want to use the "caption word limit" option.
- Single thumbnail mode - ideal for powerpoint-like presentations
- Multiple languages supported (English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish - others will be added as well)
- Uses 5(!) popup-creation engines for maximum compatibility on your site. We've included (in their latest versions) the popular Slimbox (based on Mootools), Thickbox (based on jQuery), Greybox (based on AJS), Litebox (based on Moo.fx) and Lytebox popup engines for you to choose and avoid possible conflicts with other Joomla! extensions that are based on javascript frameworks like Mootools, jQuery, Prototype etc.
- Joom!Fish support for the interface. Switching languages using Joom!Fish will also switch the SIG popup interfaces language as well.
- Backwards compatibility with the free version. You just uninstall the free version, install the PRO version and you're done! No need to re-edit your existing content items (articles) that previously included image galleries, inserted with the free version.
- The code has been rewritten from the ground up (compared to the free version) for performance improvement.
- Compatible with Joomla! 1.0.x/1.5.x and Mambo 4.5.x/4.6.x

The "Simple Image Gallery PRO" plugin is super-easy to use. 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, with stylish shadows on each thumbnail and "lightbox-like" popups to display the original images (when the user clicks on a thumbnail)! The thumbnails are generated using PHP (and cached to improve performance), which means that the original images are resized and resampled, too!

So now:
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 the party click here" and
c) you focus more on content writing and less on managing the images!

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

************************************************
This is a major release for "Simple Image Gallery PRO".
We have:
1. Added 2 new popup engines, Litebox (which is based on moo.fx) and Lytebox, to offer even further compatibility with other javascript based Joomla! extensions. Lytebox, especially, has been thoroughly tested with all JoomlaWorks extensions and is full compatible. So you can have for example SIG Pro running Lytebox, on the same page with Frontpage Slideshow, Simple Image Rotator, Ultimate AJAX Newsflash, Content Items Fading Scroller (extensions heavily relying on javascript).

3. Added one more language pack - Spanish.
4. Did some small CSS fixes for better IE browser compliance.
