Once I figured out the curly braces around the "in article code" the plug-in worked like a charm! Paired with the Gallery Component and I can do everything I needed with ease! No more searching, no more expensive commercial tools. Phoca makes great tools!

I have literally spent days going through every of the flash and of the non flash gallery plugins. And I have kept going back to Phoca.

Phoca is maybe not the most sexy looking, or the examples are not that trendy, but when it comes down to actually working and being able to figure out, there seems to be only one name in town that brings the gallery, multiple item upload, slideshow, etc, etc together.

The gallery plugins in Joomla show the great and ugly of open source, there is lots of choice and it is very very hard to differentiate the ugly from the diamond in the rough. I wished there was a space to compare them all one by one, but there is not really. Since I spent days, maybe over a week trying them all out, I can confirm Phoca is a diamond in the rough.

Amazing work, designer is brilliant in making the scripts beautiful. I have tried all the photo galleries available for joomla, and none of them comes close to this one.
Hats off to you guys.
