I've tried a few gallery extensions but none have been so clean and simple to use, many thanks.

I replaced a basic lightbox gallery with this, and it is far superior.

One question - how do I get it so that you don't see the image title when you mouseover the thumbnails?

Thanks again! Great work.

This plugin has been very useful on my personal website. It was very easy to install and the documentation is very easy to understand. I would like to replace my current photo gallery extension on my business website because I like the fact that I can include links, so this would work great for my portfolio. Another major factor for trying this extension is the ability to call your images inside any article content.

I look forward to trying more extensions from this developer(s). Thank you.

I am a brand new Joomla! user and needed a gallery extension for a photographer's CMS site that I am building. This plug-in was super easy to get working and the provided documentation is truly excellent - step-by-step with screenshots. I recommend it!!!

This is a sleeper that has about everything you need to create a great gallery. I liked its flexibility of configuring the actual gallery and images right in an article, etc. Being able to include the actual titles and other features for photo competitions is more intuitive and easier than trying to use image title txt files.

It's easy to install and simple to use, once you master the simple syntax. One hint for you, here is how you put in an image title, maybe I missed it in the explanation but this will clear up that piece if you didn't get it the first time:

This is a very simple gallery that works as advertised. I was looking for something very simple for a particular site and this worked perfectly. The author's website had great documentation so the install and implementation went smoothly. Support for specific inquiries is a little sketchy on the author's site. I submitted a question but I don't know if it went through. I thank Mr. Berger for his nice little gallery.

Hi Luciano!

No, there is neither a comment nore did I receive an email from you. Probably you tried to send an email via the contact form in english, which has been out of order (fixed it this moment).
Anyway, this contact form starts with:
"For questions about and problems with Scripts or Plugins
please add your comment to the respective page because
this way other visitors may benefit from our conversation."

And the comment-extension has been working fine all the time so - there is no problem with the support.

Best regards
Andreas Berger

Love this product.
People are time-poor and this delivers the most efficient way to display your images - fast. Simply mouse-over to change image.

We are using it for portfolio images.

Excellent illustrated instructions too - if only all plug-ins had that.

Big thank you to these guys.
