NEW: Now also available for Joomla 1.0

ImageFlow is a picture gallery, which allows an intuitive image handling. The basic idea is to digitally animate the thumbing through a physical image stack. That intuitive handling is automatically caused by the metaphorical use of the well known process of thumbing through.
ImageFlow for Joomla was derived from ImageFlow 0.9 by Finn Rudolph.

Features:

New with version 1.0.5, HTML output of the images is controlled by an output template file that you can create. This means that ImageFlow can be adapted to any one of several image display scripts (Shadowbox, Lightbox, Highslide JS, etc.). Currently, output templates are provided for Shadowbox and Highslide JS. By default, Highslide JS is used to display the popup image. Note: Highslide JS must be installed seperately. It is not installed by this module.

Thumbnails, with reflections, are automatically created from the source image and cached on the server for quick retrieval.

Thumbnail size is specified as a percentage of the source image size.

Images are loaded via an image list text file, all images in a single
directory or both. JPG, PNG and GIF image types are supported.

Thumbnails can be created with or without transparency.

An upper limit can be set on the number of images loaded from a directory.

Optionally hide or show the image slider and caption line.

Scales 100% dynamically.

The look and size of the imageflow container can easily be modified via CSS.

Mouse wheel support

Arrow key support

Non-programmers beware! by CubPilot, October 5, 2008
This is a cool looking app............. but, if you aren't up to speed with css, html, etc. It is not very intuitive to configure. It seems that most have little trouble getting it to work, but these guys must be "real" webmasters and old hands with the programing languages involved. If you are new at this stuff, good luck. I have had a very frustrating time with it, but that's my problem I guess.

Sorry to hear you had so much trouble. If you go to the forums and tell me what problems you are having I'd be more than happy to help. - Ken

A model for extension developers by borisgoodenough, August 7, 2008
Yes, it's slick and easy to set up for newbies, with lots of tweaks and customization available for techies. And every extension developer should be required to take a look at the online documentation -- line-by-line pictorial instructions on installation and parameter setting.


Great Tool - Awesome Support !! by delliott, July 31, 2008
Ken is extremely responsive. He back-ported this to Joomla 1.0.X for me--within a very short time period. He also helped me troubleshoot initial installation problems. The tool is excellent and the support is even better.


Simple and elegant design... by jigsaw1999, July 20, 2008
This is a really slick little app. for gallery and photo presentation. Worked right out of the box in Joomla 1.5.4. with no problems encountered at all.


Very nice! by hiflyer89, July 17, 2008
Outstanding module - both in presentation and use. And EXCELLENT documentation. Flexible yet simple.
Thank you!!


You can click the image and go to an article! by Gnostic, July 13, 2008
I inquired on the developer's forum about customizing this module so I can use it as a catalog for a book publisher. We needed a "Cover Flow" module where the user could click on the image and go to a webpage, rather than a larger copy of the image. The developer responded a few hours later with a new version of the module that does exactly what we want. Furthermore, the module has been well-designed, with many features, and it is easy to customize via css. We crafted a good match for our template within a few minutes. This is a great module.


Excellent product by ccx3, July 7, 2008
Smashing module for displaying images in a very slick fashion.

Do read the installation instructions closely though to understand how to set up and configure everything. For some reason the Imageflow documentation is kept under 'miscellaneous' so keep that in mind if you go straight to the joomlanook site.

Very pleased indeed to have found this extension.
