Exposé is a Flash-based tool which allows you to create eye-catching slide shows of your pictures on the web. A list of the features supported by exposé includes the following:

- direct linking to a photo or album
- a slide show can be automatically started
- a background/foreground image can be loaded
- more interface elements can be now customized
- smoother Interface
- iframe has been removed, full php integration
- easier to adjust the size using only the expose.html.php
- improved background color adjustments
- check_system.php script added for troublshooting
- supports SEF URL's (being re-worked currently, limited functionality)
- upload/add background image through Joomla backend

The small footprint of the Flash clips and an intelligent loading of resources allow even dialup users to have a seamless experience viewing your photos. exposé is FREE for personal use.

The PHP Album Manager has very strict system requirements but is not needed to add new pics to you gallery (this is just another option if you have these extensions on your server). You can also install the Windows (or Mac) Album Manager found here: http://www.slooz.com/trinkets.php

After you have downloaded the Album Manager login to your server via FTP and change directory to [JoomlaRoot]/components/com_expose and copy down the expose folder to your desktop or anywhere you know where to access it at. Lastly, open your Newly installed Album Manager and it will ask you where you expose folder is, just point it to that folder and you can edit away.

After you are done when you close the album manager it will ask you if you would like to save your configurations, Click "YES" and then re-upload the folder and you are all set. Create a Joomla Menu pointing to that component and it will look awesome!

This component is a bridge to the Expose Gallery found here http://www.slooz.com This bridge is released as GNU/GPL but expose is under its original author's license agreement found here, http://slooz.com/trinkets.php?proj=expose If you have any questions please feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions in the forums listed below.

Great component by asgeirjj, December 5, 2006

Although the released versions backend doesn't work,
after checking out the support forum i got it to work.

The exclusive look and feel of this gallery is excellent,
it looks great!

This will grow into a superb gallery in a while,making
it look like an integrated part of my site is probably not
possible at the moment, but I'm sure it will get there. It does provide a lot of options for customizing, but sadly this is all text based at the moment.

Thank you very much Authors and other who contribute!

If you have problems, have a look at the following i cut from the forum:

"
First check if your system has the support to run the manager

Run
http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_expose/expose/manager/check_system.php

If all is ok there then..

Try to replace the manager with the standalone manager.

http://www.slooz.com/download.php?f=album_manager_php_1.02.zip

Delete com_expose/expose/manager folder
Unzip the content of the zip file to /com_expose/expose

If it still doesn't work try to create the .htaccess file.

Make sure you have the .htaccess in the com_expose/expose/manager/upload
with the following in it:

Code:
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
"

Woohoo! I think the backend got fixed!! by sjsorell, December 5, 2006

I've been using this component for about a year now using just the desktop Album Manager to upload my photos. It was a pain. Now it seems that the backend is working properly with the newest version! It's awesome! I love the ability to create thumbs so quick. The only prob is it seems that the front doesn't work when Search Engine Friendly URLs are enabled. np :)

PERFECT by Phoenix, November 18, 2006

Now the best picture galery got even better with the RC3 release. You now can link directly to albums or even photos. that's great :) I recommen it absolutely it's the best i ever seen and the support is great too, via forums or messenger :)
I don't know what to say else except continue like this :)

Nice - sadly I cannot use... by Mindwarp, November 13, 2006

I really like the look of this gallery. It is fast and smooth, and is one of the best looking galleries.

Installation is simple and as easy as any component.

Unfortunately, I cannot use it on my site as I do not have the extra stuff on my server to get the backend login to work, and I am not able to get it installed easily. At least I understand what my problem is though, and know it is not this component.

Despite the above, I hope it continues to be developed and maybe adapted to work with less server utilities installed?

Great way to present Flash videos. by wolfix, October 31, 2006

Very nice component... enables me to create an online, video gallery using flv, videos.

Professionally programmed allowing for the joomla admin to configure the public presentation to a large extent by editing a hand full of files.

Nice 'bucket' feature that allows for ftp upload of all images or videos so you're not limited to a "browse and upload" pop-up window. Once you've ftp'd all your images you use the back end to organize your photo/video album by tagging files directly on the web server using the 'bucket' directory.

Thanks!

Best Looking Gallery for Joomla by exhibitone, October 24, 2006

I've tried out most of the galleries available for joomla either as bridge or as a component (rsgallery2, gallery2, etc..) and this is by far the best looking gallery component out there. Will be using this for my art gallery's website henceforth!

Best Gallery EVER .. when it works by rjschad, October 22, 2006

This is the best gallery component offered for Joomla! It has a professional appearance and a great layout. Josh, the wizard behind this great tool, is a really nice guy who personally answers all the support questions in his forum .. even the many repeat questions.

Unfortunately, there is a backend login problem that many have experienced .. me included. But don't let this stop you from installing Expose .. give it a try .. and if the backend happens to work for you .. you'll love it!

Thanks Josh for all your work!

Good Component For Viewing Images by kazisdaman, October 5, 2006

I installed it on my server, and it worked just fine right out of the box.

Although I do not know if I'll use it, because there is no way to make the images SEO or searchable it is a great overall component. I can upload images, and it puts it in a nice slide show format, viewable, catagories and all.

I rated it a 4/5, due to there could be some more extra features as mentioned in earlier posts.

Overall its great, I still might use it :) lol.

Much improved! by z33k3r, September 28, 2006

Expose has come a long way! RC1 now includeds auto installer for both PHP4 & PHP5 and the backend manager now works finally lol! :D

Things I would like to see are GUI integrated options for all the settings you have to change in the XML files (ie: help on/off, positioning, and for crying out loud, the option to center and modify the size of the flash object).

Easy as 1-2-3 by earthcorp, September 25, 2006

worked like a charm all round in under 5 mins.

Not ready for prime time... by overeasy, August 29, 2006

3 of 7 people find this review helpful:

It's been a frustrating experience trying to get this component to work correctly.
As is all too typical with OS software, there are a lot of "gotchas" you discover only after you try the thing, a lot of "still working on its" and "did you try re-uploading such and such?" and "what version are you using?"

It IS a nice-looking and elegant interface, due to the Flash implementation, but looks alone aren't enough for me. And the truth is, I just don't have time to do all the futzing around with it. I need something that works on MOST SERVERS, right out of the box. From what I can see, Expose is not that.

I wish them well, and the attempts at support have been great, but I just think this is missing the robustness and cross-server compatibility it needs....

Very Nice by ItchySox, August 28, 2006

I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent work and to point out that if the copyright info or watermark aren't visible in the resized images or they're underlaying the buttons, try reducing the size of the medium image. My settings for the Small Edition are 480x400 for the medium size image. N.B. RC1 (PHP5) can be converted to Small Edition.

great job, very impressive by Baobab, August 20, 2006

I am definitely going to use this component a lot, It looks great and it works flawlessly.
I have tested it quite thoroughly and I have only a few remarks; when using option "show large images" these images are downloadable and I would like to be able to prevent that, when I want to use larger images inside the flash component the images strech over the navigation buttons so that is not an option either, also "add copyright" information seems not to work but maybe I am doing something wrong.
Anyway; my compliments to the developers

Thank you! by hils, August 10, 2006

Just what I needed. Worked right out of the box. Referring to an earlier post, it works for me in IE6 and Firefox. Once I realised that saving descriptions needed the right mouse click menu everything was easy. The only little downside is the description for the albums. It is a very tiny box and the text was cut off on the right side. I probably need to investigate further.

All in all this is an excellent component and recommended.

Thank you again from Hils
