I never took the time to register here, and I've downloaded numerous modules and components. This is the module that has triggered me to register and vote. An amazing component, highly configurable. Indeed, you can use (multiple!) SQL queries to let it do anything you want. A few good and common queries are pre-configured, to get you starting.
I run a photo-forum, and currently run Joomla, SMF, and Coppermine. Also, I use CB Gallery (also known as Nant's Gallery). This module pulls profile links and Avatars from Community Builder, displays links to the CB Gallery photo's al with the use of one query. Since you can add SQL queries yourself, really anything's possible. You certainly don't need to be an expert, but some SQL knowledge does help.
A great module, installed in a minute, took about ten minutes to grasp. Very nice. I examined the PHP code, which is nice, easy to understande, well-structured. Highly recommended. I sure hope the developer keeps updating this module (although I don't really have a wish-list). I made one minor tweak of my own: the CB-gallery links are displayed as one line of links (e.g. : 1 2 3 4 5 6, etc.) - when you have 20 pictures in a CB Gallery, this line needs to be broken in pieces to get it to fit into a Joomla left or right module. This is easy to program with moderate PHP knowlegde, and this is what I have done to let it fit my needs 100%.
