This module was just the right thing I needed to change my site logo in back end and have a link for it.

Hi There, this is a good module for display static pictures- great job. However, it would be even better if I was able to display the image without any white background- is there a way to do this? THank you in advance.
Owner's reply
Simple Image Holder doesn't put any background.
please email me your problem, and i'd be happy to help.

This module is a great addition to the Jommla extension library. It it simple to use, and does not interfere with any other module. I do have one suggestion... Add an option for a caption, above or below the image that is being added. Thank you again for a great module.
Owner's reply
Hey Bel,
thanks for the suggestion, you'll probably see it implemented in the next version of SIH :)
and thanks for the top rating.

Trying to get banners to work with the template I was using and adding html to edit the template kept spoiling the table line and I could not find a way of putting in an image without using article content. This module did the job.
However, I got nervous when it disappeared from the modules list and I installed another module and it came back and works well (J1.5.14) (may be local issue)
It would be very useful if further simple images could be added, though I do not know whether this is possible using modules.

Hey Bjude,
you can always add more images by copying the module, and changing the data for each copy.

I am new to Joomla and found it frustrating that I could not place an image easily and effortlessly. This plugin was exactly what I was looking for.
At first I did not have the correct file path in my image info box and could not get the module to work. I emailed the developer and he replied quickly with the correct file path that I needed.
Very impressed with the plugin and the support from the developer. Great work! Thank!

I had been using it since the first version came out. Every new version is simple better than the last one, I just don't know if its possible to update the module to new versions without losing the images that are already created with older versions. I tried but the old modules created by older versions just disappeared when I used the new version. Anyway this component is really great and the best option to put images on your website.
Owner's reply
hi Cepae..
you can update the module manually, by extracting the module's contents to you hard drive, and then upload the files via ftp to SIH's directory in: (siteroot/modules/mod_sih) replacing the old files..
this should keep your existing copies of the module.
thanks for the review and top rating :)

I spent quite some time looking for something like this. Found a few that either errored, or wasn't customizable. This module is great. Very well done. I will probably look to use your other ones as well. Thanks

happy that i was of help.. thanks for the top rating.. and you are welcome :)

This is a easy module to use and does what the author says. One great thing is that it has an option to center its position within the module. So many other module extensions don't have that option and some still don't play ball when you try and change the code to align center. The transparency option and mouseover is handy and so is the ability to include whatever link you want under the pic.
Thanks for the easy to use extension.

I downloaded it and it works really perfect! Less than 30 secs I had my image where and how I wanted. Being fighting many hours with the module random image and the image never appears. With this one, what i said, max 30 secs and you have your image. Great work! Thanks for this great module!!!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks !

you are welcome.. thanks for the perfect rating :)
This extension really does the job. Fast installation, fast setup, great results!!! I'll no longer use banner module.
Suggestion : It would be great to get a setting for the image "title" tag. The "alt" tag only work with IE.
