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.

I've been searching for an easy and clean way to display my portfolio. As I'm a newB to Joomla it hasn't been very easy – until I found Image Browser Gallery Component! Now my worries are over. Thank you :-)

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 !!

I started to rewrite my website to Joomla beginning in March, and Image Browser was the first add-on I did install! I am very satisfied with the easy installation and user friendly back-end.

I have a feeling that the author of this software are working on some additional features asked for in some of the previous reviews.

this is a gallery that works pretty good.
but a couple of things i miss: max. photo's per page and multiple image upload. for the rest: keep it up! its a good component!

Having looked at loads of gallery possibilities to work with Joomla 1.5 I finally came across this little gem. No fuss, simple to install and very easy to use. The key feature for me is it is so so easy to add/edit captions on each picture.
I would agree with those that have suggested a "create all thumbnails" button and the only other thing that would help make it perfect for me would be the addition of "previous"/"next" buttons on the zoomed view.

Great piece of work.

Easy to install and to work with. Finally the one I was looking for.
Just a suggestion to the developer: it should be better to have the option to create the thumbnail FOR ALL the images present in a gallery beside the boring option to create it one by one.

This is a great extension that is simple and works without any problems so far. I love it. Installation was simple and easy and the end result is very professional.

The only thing that really causes me grief is the inability to generate batch thumbnails once a folder of images is FTP'd to the server. With this in place, this gallery would be AWESOME.

Thanks for your hard work!

But there is no posibility to write description to each picture, so i can't use it, wich sucks.
I like it a lot.

Easy to install, and use.

It's a very good extension for a gallery. However I'm having a problem of it not reading .png files. Other than that the rest works well :)

Good job

I searched high and low for an easily usable Lightbox-like gallery thingy, and I happened upon this.

I really like this component, especially since this component allows me to group my pictures exactly where I want it. Even though it offered a default path to store the picture, I can easily select another path.

Furthermore, this component allows folders within its storage path, something I deem necessary due to the amount of pictures I have.

I can't give this an "excellent" rating yet, because this component lacks EITHER (1) batch uploading, or (2) Mass thumbnail generation. It's a royal PITA to upload the photos one-by-one; I use an FTP client instead. But doing so means I have to generate the thumbnails one-by-one. If EITHER batch uploading is implemented OR mass thumbnail generation is implemented, then this component will surely get an "Excellent!" rating from me.

Other than that, this is a slick and really good-looking addition to my site, hands down :)

This is a GREAT component if you're looking for a no frills solution to photo galleries for Joomla! 1.5 and the best thing is - it works! A quick and easy install **Check the forum for the admin error message hack**

My only gripe - no vertical thumbnails?

Thanks again for a great solution!
