I cannot thank the developer enough for his help and communication in getting this component to me whilst he is experiencing site issues.

All mails were replied to in a timely manner. The component installed straight out of the box and is easy to use. I can see the benefits of this for my community site and look forward to using it.

I would and have suggested however that this component should work automatically, or indeed have a frontend option for site admins that I do not grant backend access to. I think however automatic mails would suffice.

I hope this gets adopted for the next release.

Many thanks.

Great looking component, however I feel that it lacks a lot for what is called a portfolio component.

There doesnt appear to be any way to link images to specific examples (i.e. websites, nor is there any place to put descriptive text.

So for me I chose to use this as a gallery, as I feel this is more apt.

Nice work though guys, would like to see some more additions to this to make it a true 'portfolio' component.

Ok so I've given this 'fair', but this is mainly because of how the gallery looks on the authors site.

Now for the bad bit - it said it installed correctly, however when trying to fire up the component admin you get


DB function failed with error number 1146
Table 'xxxxxxx.jos_samgellery_cat_x01' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT m.cat_name as name, m.cat_desc as descrip, m.cat_id as id, m.added as added, m.cat_img thum FROM jos_samgellery_cat_x01 AS m ORDER BY m.added desc LIMIT 30

OK so here is not the correct palce to put the error, but there is no author support forum, and I'm not sure they got my contact form through their site.

It would appear that I'm not the only one with this error as this has already been posted on the joomla forum - without a fix.

So unless it will work I'm afraid I will have to leave this as it is.

Nice simple looking gallery, just doesnt work on my set-up.
