Thumbnails will be shown in the Details View vertically or horizontally. By clicking on a thumbnail a big image will be shown in the Lightbox of Lokesh Dhakar or alternatively in Slimbox by Christophe Beyls if MooTols library is already installed. Also it is possible to show the images in a popup window (best results in Firefox only).
In the Category View (on each V-Card) the number of images of an entry and/or the first thumbnail of the Gallery can be shown. If no Gallery images are available for an entry a "no images available" text can be shown alternatively.
A description can be added to each image. The description will be shown in the Lightbox and as image-alt-tag. Adding images to the Gallery only by administrator is also possible.
The number of images per row is adjustable, so the Gallery can be shown in multiple columns and rows. The table sizes are calculated automatically depending on the thumbnail size (if adjusted).
For the Gallery there are language files available for Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, English, German and Spanish. Missing texts are always in English.
The plugin requires at least SOBI2 RC2.8.x.

Brilliant Gallery from SOBI2 very easy to install with the plugin manager, easy to configure and easy to add to your template, just a line of code to copy and paste.

Sobi2 really has become one of my favorite extensions! Be creative and you can use it for a lot of purposes. I just created a real estate website with it and it offers a lot of options. One small remark concerning the gallery plugin: it would be nice if there was also a gallery with slideshow options. Every real estate property has about 30 images and that's a lot of clicking each time...

Thank you for this extension! It does what it says! I am so excited about SOBI2 - I am a novice Joomla user and it has been wonderfully easy to install and configure SOBI2 and its extensions. This extension makes your directory listings so much more beautiful and useful - THANK YOU!!!
The only thing I can think of that would make this extension even better is: if there was an option where you could charge people when they add these extra pictures.

I use Sobi2 as a property listing directory for vacation rental homes. The gallery plugin is a perfect addition to the property listing profiles to feature more photos of the homes. It looks really slick and sophisticated and integrated easily with my template. I had no problems or bugs installing or using the plugin, it's been perfect.

The Sobi Gallery is a perfect addition to an already great component.
Slimbox is built in, with the ability to turn off Mootools if it's already incorporated into your template.
Perfect out of the box to show off an unlimited number of images in your Directory entries.
>>> To the other reviews that want FLV, WMV and YouTube videos in your gallery, use the 'Media Plugin' from Sobi2. That's what it's for.

Seems odd to me some of teh other reviews, maybe they are asking too much of this as it is designed to be a photo gallery for SOBI2 and it does this very well.
I do not charge fees for listings on my site so payment options were not needed and for me this is a winner for all my users who have taken to this feature like ducks to water - thanks again Neo and Trinity.

I tried to install the gallery and I couldn't add flv files, neither show anything (even with wmv).
I tried to search for a tutorial or a manual and I couldn't find anything.

On my site I charge to add an Image. This plugin, however, does not allow a payment option. It would be nice if I could charge for the users to include their extra images.

Absolutely, positively one of the best components I have ever used. First I paid for mosDirectory, then paid for mosTree and mambocharge, then wised up and switched to SOBI2. Enough said.

What would make this rock is if it supported MP3's and YouTube video ID numbers. This would put SOBI Gallery over the top compared to others. The ultimate combo would be to pair up SOBI Gallery, AllVideos Plugin (or one of the others) and a reviews component. You would have a major milestone for a media gallery that a lot of people have been wanting!
SOBI is a great product. Used it and gallery recently for a small prototype site.

Gallery was simple. Install it, upload the new SOBI2 templates and it worked perfectly. You could teach the gang in Redmond something!
The results are very professional looking. Thanks for this great plugin.
The only way you could improve it is to make a plugin to accept PDF's. A restaurant could scan in their menus! Or Coupons.
