I joined to get this specific module, and a template for another site.

Whilst the module is somewhat limited, it's very striking. For those having problem setting the background colour, add class="yootools-black" to your body tag, otherwise it defaults to the white setting. :D

The limitations I have found are the the background colour choices of either black or white, and like another reviewer mentioned, the apparent inability to set the size of the slideshow itself.

I may install this on my local server and have a poke around under the hood, but you really shouldn't have to on a commercial plugin...

First, Yoothemes has some good looking themes. But, when you have an issue with a theme or extension DO NOT expect timely assistance with your issue!

Their own terms of use state -- "7. Support
Please notice that we are not going to help you by email. Should you require any help regarding installation, modification or administration of our templates you can use the forum in the member area. YOOtheme is not monitoring these forum but we do our best to answer your questions. "

I effect, you buy the extensions and themes "as is".

If you are good with this, go ahead. Otherwise, i say steer clear of this outfit for any projects that require timely assistance (or any assistance with broken templates or extensions).

Yoothemes extensions and templates are NOT for business or any use that requires timely fixes or assistance. As a Yoothemes paying member, I know whereof I speak.

Consider yourself warned.

Very well done, just about everybody who has seen this gallery has asked what it is and want to use it on their own sites.

The only problem I have encountered so far is with file permissions when Joomla 1.5 has the FTP layer activated, and all files uploaded and created by the Joomla administrator are owned by the FTP user. Images won't display if the gallery directories aren't writable by the apache user. It's a bit of a step back in security if you're forced to make the gallery directories world writeable or chowned to the apache user or group.

I have tried many many gallery extensions and this is the best by far. I make a lot of sites for clients and I wont use any other gallery extension anymore.

Well done YooTheme. You have made my work look very professional.

i love this module and plugin great job guys, the only problem i see is that i would want to manually set the size of the gallery image not only the thumbnails.

Hi Yoo guys,

You did a wonderful job! I like it so much that I throw away the frontslide show!

But I can't change background color from white to black. It seems like in the backend there is no this option....you may take a look. The yoologin has the same question.
