The attention to details with how this component can be configured is excellent.
The options available make this gallery suitable for any kind of website needing enhanced image display.

Not too many components work well in IIS, Sobi is one major one that didn't work. we needed to develop a directory of individuals (member directory) containing photos, details, info etc.
First looked to Sobi, but no IIS compatibilty. Combining Phoco gallery and the tree module, we developed a replacement. This more then speaks for the flexibility and great coding job done on this component.

I was able to setup my gallery in 2 minutes: create categories, upload photos (I done it by FTP) and add with "Multiple add" feature, that create thumbs and links to category.
And the gallery is pretty good also with standard theme, so few or none customization is needed, almost in a first step.

Installed easy, worked well, but then I saw what else they offer: blew me away!
These guys have focused on a few core competencies: Galleries, On-site Document Management, and Google Map Wrapping.
And they cover them well and with precision.
Gotta check them out.

Hi, thank you for your great review.
"These guys have ..." :-( There is only one guy not guys :-( and for now I am spending all my freetime with answering posts in the forum. So if somebody wants to help the Phoca projects with answering posts in the forum, this will be great and much appreciated.
Thank you, Jan
BTW: thank you to all for great reviews.

This Component is the best!
bysilvacp on September 30, 2009
After trying dozens of galleries, it was the best thing that could have happen to me. In conjunction with the remaining Phoca products it gets even better.
Restrictions:
1) Users need to register to be able to rate or comment photos. You will need to hack an auto-login function to do avoid it.
2) There is a breadcrumb bug with the category title when creating multi-level categories. The higher titles are being concatenated to the lower ones.
Thank you very much. It needs a donation.

Amazing! I am very impressed with how configurable and easy to use Phoca Gallery is. What is really exciting is the ability to give my users access to upload files through my website instead of them having to use Joomla.

I think excellent doesn't cover it.
It's brilliant, and, it's free! But I will donate because this component is exactly what I need!
Once you configure your global parameters (that can be overwhelming at first because there are a lot of options, but this allows better customization) you’re good to go!
I’ve tried other galleries but this is by far the easiest to use and gives the prettiest outcome.
I would like to have more options to configure the slideshows depending on the type used, but, still, the best gallery and the developer, Jan, is very helpful!

This is one of the best extensions EVER.
It should have an Editors Pick on it.
Everything was so simple and easy to do.
i can't think of any think bad to say, although i would say, "The download Image should be better."
The way you can download images by right clicking is a bit old and not very professional. Use header().
Apart from that is the best script in the world with nothing wrong with it. It Pure Perfect.
Thankyou
Paul

Hi, thank you for your review, in Phoca Gallery you can select two methods of download:
- original image will be open and you can download it with "right click"
- image will be directly downloaded after clicking on download icon.
Or you can use an external link to download, e.g. link to Phoca Download component where you have files ready for downloading.

Here I am in the middle of a massive upload(Over 1.2 gigs of Photos from a recent event I attended) and am stuck at a very trivial issue. I am not able to center my gallery. :-P
So I switch on GTalk and perform a quick chat with Jan from Phoca. In less than 10 minutes all my issues are solved. :D
Can't thank this guy enough it seems sometimes. :-)

This is an excellent extension that is challenged by very HI-res graphics on many installations because of memory limitations in the server impelmentation of the GD library. This, otherwise excellent product, could benefit with some workarounds for that problem.

Uploading pictures very complicated. Plus java problems... Demo site it looks good... I will stick to joom gallery, it is simple and does the the job...
Owner's reply
Hi, thank you for your review, you can use the following methods to upload images in Phoca Gallery:
- standard upload (one image upload)
- java upload
- flash based upload
- ftp upload
- media manager upload
- other web file manager upload
You can select method which will be not so complicated for you. E.g. you will prepare the tree of folders and images on your PC. Then you will upload the whole tree to your server and in Multiple Add View, Phoca Gallery will automatically convert all folders to categories, all subfolders to subcategories and will create thumbnails from the images.

This is an amazingly useful extension. The backend and frontend functionality is superb.
The most impressive thing is that you can choose your thumbnail size for each of three modes.
Ease of use combined with configurability. There are backlinks front and back, but the front can be made quite discreet by choosing the text only option.
5stars all round. Magnificent.
There is also a gallery tree extension which goes with this which really adds to functionality.

One of my go to stand-by applications. Always works.
byRuminiki24 on July 30, 2009
This extension is amazing. It's quite hard once downloaded but with a little taking time and customization you'd never go to another gallery extension... why?? Cause there would be absolutely no need.
Infact I had many difficulties once I had this downloaded and lots of trouble but with 3-4 days of working I finally got used to it...
Thanx for the amazing extension!

I use both Phoca Gallery and Phoca Download for displaying and downloading my images for my customers. I want to thank Phoca developers for great support which I needed for creating my site
