Protos LightBox Plugin
Simple plugin that just works. It's vision is not the exact "LightBox" one, but is pretty easy to work. It doesn't have thousands of options, you can not create complex galleries, but it's just doing what it is supposed to do. Please read the documentation (less than half page).

We are working on a new version that will fix some of the issues in the current one. Although, the initial release works pretty good so far.

Version 1.1 fixes all know bugs so far. Update is done through simple uninstall/install/publish procedure for both plugins.

Just perfect! by Arvid, March 25, 2008
Very easy to use, works just perfect! In the parameters it is possible to point to the folder in images/stories with your images. The location ../content for images/content works ok. Nice...


It's very good but can be improved :) by 4integration, March 4, 2008
Very nice plugin. I have used Jogadgets before but that is only working with Joomla 1.0.

I agree with the previous reviewer's wish list and I would like to have some caching of the thumbnails. Jogadgets have that, which speeds up the site.


Simple to Use - Simple to Implement by akerman, February 24, 2008

Running 1.5 Stable, I've been looking something simple to implement inside content (articles).

I'm using this in my Pressroom for journalist to download
logos, company pictures & product pictures.

What I like:
1. It's so simple - two small strings in content
2. How it zooms out towards you - literally leaving the surface
3. That you can move the picture around and see what's beneath.

In comparison to all featured filled galleries, modules, components, what have you... this is exactly what you want in a lightweight, fast and WWW-2 CMS system.

Oh, did I mentioned that since it creates its own thumbnails you don't have to do that either. Downloadtime and work effort are thereby kept on a minimum.

Thank you for sharing this one!


A bit too simple to be very useful.... by TristanTheNightAway, February 14, 2008
What it does it does well, but it's not much! Unless all your images are exactly the same aspect ratio, and the same as the ratio you specify for your thumnail they will be distorted (it even stretches it if it's too small!) No way (that I've found) to add alt text, so accesibility is a problem. Titles would eb nice too.

Wish list:
Keep to original image aspect ratio.
Alt text.
Titles/Captions.
Specify size per image (to override default)
Integrate better with editor - ie parse for tags, rather than {limage}


Simple plugin by Rimantask, February 11, 2008

Finally I found I was expected for a long time. I was tested on Joomla! 1.5 stable. Really easy installation and implementation.

Just few things might be improved: no way to have portrait and landscape thumbnails in one installation - proportions will be lost. I would like the ability to wrap text around the thumbnail also.

Anyway, this is a Great job!


Protos LightBox Plugin by timeshadowrider, February 7, 2008

As a first release this plugin works, it has a couple of bugs but if the next release fixes that then it will be a great plugin!


Owner's reply:
It is true, version 1.1 fixes all known bugs.

Solid Plug-In by HardWork, February 1, 2008

Just installed the plug-in and I love it. Like it says, it does what it does; and I am going to let it do what it do! The documentation was so short and to the point; awesome. And guess what, it works! Way to go. I highly recommend.
