I have searched for ages to find a gallery that will just show all the images in a folder. All others one seems to have to add names images and then add captions etc. ImageBrowser just does what I need.

On the page you link to via a menu link, you get a list of the Galleries (folders) you have set up. Click on one of them and your page is populated with thumbnails and when clicked on the full size image is displayed.

Not much in the way of component control but what one really needs is there and it works very well.

This was exactly what I needed. Just a simple Image Gallery which also creates thumbnails and opens my images in a new pop up window. Thanks.

By the way this works just as well with sh404sef. The problem is that in the file views\gallery\tmpl\default.php, there is this line on line no. 59

$href = " change and it works perfecttly with sh404sef too.

This component seems to work fine, other than zip file uploading always returning "Error: Invalid File Type". The forums on the main site have no answer, and the "fix" posted below has given me no success either. I have tried using zip formats from WinRar and the Windows zip utility. Neither of them work, with or without the "fix". To me, this is the function that separates it from others (including it's simplicity) and would make it superior if it worked.

very very bad script, please don't install this.
Created chaos in my media files. Instead of creating thumbs it copied all files.

Hi, i just fixed the zip upload problem. In my case the zip was transferred using the "allpication/x-zip-compressed" mime type.

So i just edited line 351 of imagebrowser.class.php and changed it to:

$accept = 'image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif,application/zip,application/x-zip,application/x-zip-compressed';

line 355 should the look like:

if ($array[2] == 'application/zip' || $array[2] == 'application/x-zip' || $array[2] == 'application/x-zip-compressed') {

for me it solved all my problems.

I love this extension. Does what it says it does. i just wish that you could put a title for the folder other than the folder name.

Good extension, you had an error though with the page title, "Unidentified property", I fixed it by just adding a blank variable called page_title. However i do not know if it was initially set to something else before ?

The error code is in "view.html.php" on line 67.

I totally love this extension. One of my clients is technophobic and even she has no problem adding her artwork to the site. I made a youtube video to train her. Look at the list of videos for youtube member keywordhope. The only thing I would change is to make the component work with SEF enabled.

This is a really great extension but theres one thing missing... for me it would be perfect if I was able to upload images from the front-end as well as the back-end.

Really impressed with this component. Just wanted to say that the gallery thumbnails work fine in Firefox and IE browser where they are all placed horizontally as they should be. But in Safari browser they are placed vertically which looks odd! Is there a fix for this? Much appreciated. Thanks.

It's a great extension, i didn't get the lightbox to work but after a deep dive in the code i discoverd that when you make a little change in the next file the lightbox works:
com_imagebrowser/views/gallery/tmpl/default.php
switch the 0 to 1 on line 58
switch the 1 to 0 on line 64
I've got the parameter in the component on showing with lightbox.

The only thing I can't get to work is setting the order of the directories.. It seems like it's putting the directories in random order. Someone knows how to solve this?

Great extensions, thanks! Not overloaded as most of those fancy flash galleries. Moreover the administration is very simple. And I did not encounter any problems when installing.

There's only one thing I'm missing: It would be great to have thumbs as clickable preview for each gallery in the gallery list instead of text links (showing the name of the folder, where the images are stored). At least it would be great, if it was possible to sort the entries in the folder list. I did not find any way to do so.

Trying to install this i ran into several problems:
I cannot upload from the plugin - no matter if its jpg or zip files - i get "invalid file type".
I can't get the lightbox-function to work.. i just get pop-ups no matter what i choose.

I relly like its simple clean look so id love to get it to work!

It's a really good component but it has stopped working as I installed SEF

I was looking for something exactly like this. I tried simpleimage flash gallery, and it had troubles with multiple folders. This one is very slick. You can setup folders very easily (just make sure you upload to that folder). When creating menu items, make sure you manually type in the folder that you want to be default, and voila!

I ran into a couple problems though. Most annoying is that if you create a browser link as a child to another main menu item, the full size image links break (it adds an extra /).

Also as others, I wish I had control over how many images per page were displayed, and wish the global settings were actually global.

But besides those little niggles, it's a great gallery, and free at that, which is great.

Thank you for creating/updating this extension.

First of all, loved this component.
I did notice the problem with it just acting as a popup but this can be easily fixed.
You need to set the component to "lightbox" in 2 places.
1) in the Component >> Parameters.
2) in the Menu Manager >> Image Gallery >>Parameters (component)

and it works great!!.

I do wish this was based on jQuery rather than mootools. That's my only critique.

Love the direction this was headed in but looks like it is at a standstill right now. I found current version of e-noise ImageBrowser_0.1.8 to have problems with the lightbox feature. It would only work with the pop up as if lightbox was disabled - but checked that and it was enabled so looks like version 0.1.7 would be your best bet. Also, back end is still not compatible with Internet Explorer. The support fourum is filled with O ZERO replies to posts.

This creates a nice looking gallery, and does exactly what it says it will. It does have its limitations, though. I needed to create 2 directories of galleries, and this requires clicking through the directory first, and then I get the list of the galleries; I wish it had the functionality to show the galleries under the directories, all on one page. It also doesn't allow me to set the order of the directories or galleries alphabetically. For anyone needing a simple gallery, though, this fills the need with galleries that are very good looking and functional.

This is a standard install for my Joomla! installations because it creates a simple, professional presentation. It's easy to install, use, and modify. Thank you!

let's start by saying it is very easy to use ! nice job !

BUT... i cannot find anywhere wich file extensions it supports.. only gif seems to work for me.. i can't imagine that jpg doesn't work, maybe i'm doing something wrong??

ah well.. i'll convert my jpgs to gifs and i'm happy too !!
