Works perfectly, excellent support!



Posted on 10 November 2023
Functionality
I used the Firefox browser for uploading images. Unfortunately, it didn't work somehow. Everything ok with the Google browser.
Ease of use
It's easy to install and use. The documentation on the website is very helpful
Support
With the quick help and support from the programmer Matt, it looks good now.
Documentation
Value for money
The price for the complete package is absolutely ok. And if you look, the programmer also takes a lot of time for support.
I used this to: I was looking for an image gallery like this since JoomlaShine stopped working with its image gallery

Works perfectly

Functionality
This extension does everything it promises. A great gallery system that can include video too.
Ease of use
Simple. Recommend reading the FAQs on the developers website which cover most of any concerns.
Support
Support is fantastic. Quick to respond and very happy to help with customisations and questions.
Documentation
Good. Nice and basic in that I just referred to the FAQs to find out anything I hadn't grasped.
Value for money
Excellent. It's not expensive, does everything it says on the box and can't fault support.
I used this to: To replace the now defunct Rokgallery which I am now really pleased I did as its a much, much better extension for my own website which incorporates thousands of images and videos.

A worthy replacement for JoomGallery



Posted on 28 June 2023
Functionality
Beautifully and flexibly conigurable, image description, EXIF are optionally possible
Ease of use
Many possibilities to adapt the gallery to your needs, not overloaded
Support
Excellent! I needed support because of my very long exposure images, they were displayed incorrectly at first. After I contacted the support, the error was fixed quickly and easily. Thumbs up!
Documentation
Most options are self-explanatory, documentation is very understandable with videos
Value for money
Worth every penny. There are some free gallery components, but none of them convinced me. JoomGallery is not available for Joomla!4 and I was looking for an alternative. Ignite Gallery has everything I need
I used this to: For my Astrophoto site I need a gallery component where you can add a description to the image and Ignite Gallery provides that

Super useful in frontend



Posted on 15 March 2023
Functionality
Beautiful and useful image galleries, stand-alone or in articles, with full control possible in the front-end.
Ease of use
Very easy to configure and use, also for end users in the frontend.
Support
Top support, very quick response to e-mails but hardly necessary.
Documentation
Clear and very extensive description and documentation and videos.
Value for money
So easy and many options for only 25 USD and this for an unlimited number of sites, don't even think about it!
I used this to: I often let publishers create and manage image galleries in the front-end and added to in articles. In this way, image galleries do not stand alone but are always placed in a clear context.

Great Versatile Component



Posted on 10 March 2023
Functionality
The component works well with a series of settings that allow for a variety of formations for display on the website.
Ease of use
Although it takes a little time to get used to the process, it works really well once you gain experience with it.
Support
I cannot overstate the absolutely excellent support I got when using this component at the very outset using Text and Screen Shots.
Documentation
Tons of documentation and several useful videos explaining the component. Loved it.
Value for money
Worth every penny of the price for a full year and with professional support. Totally Recommended
I used this to: Various image displays such as Blocks and Slideshows. Also use it in menu items and in module positions. Awesome!

Used a lot of gallery plugins over the years but this is the best!



Posted on 28 February 2023
Functionality
Easy to use compared to other joomla gallery modules I have used in the past. Wont name names but I have used a few as a designer.
Ease of use
Out of the box took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to make it work with SPPage builder, works fantastic!
Support
Had a support questions the developer Matt keeps to his hours, Put in my request and got an answer back in hours
Documentation
Don't really need it if you have joomla experience but its written well.
Value for money
You can't beat what it does for the price. The fact that it resizes images for me saves me gigs of bandwidth.
I used this to: Client Galleries on sites I design. Great for clients that don't understand the importance of resizing their images. Saves Gigs of Bandwith.

Excellent gallery & support



Posted on 24 June 2022
Functionality
Gallery is working seamless in Joomla web pages as you can use/show different types of galleries in using linkages to menu items or articles
Ease of use
Very easy to install and use, even for me as a beginner. I missed some basic understanding of sorting the galleries, but we could solve this
Support
Excellent E-Mail support by Matt. Not tired to answer even to my beginner questions and finally we could resolve my sorting issue.
Documentation
Sound documentation for all different gallery types; as a beginner I missed some principle mechanism of interaction
Value for money
The result is very convincing, so the value for money is very high!
I used this to: Private websites (Hobby) depicting various galleries in different pages under different menu items.

Superbe gallery



Posted on 09 June 2022
Functionality
I have all the features I was looking for with a plus collecting IPTC foels from loaded photos.
Ease of use
Quite easy to use. Improvement would be to have tooltips on backen for configuration choice.
Support
Great support. Fast, friendly and efficient. Matt immediately made some file modifications to solve issues I had.
Documentation
Good documentation using video to explain how to configure profiles, category etc. FAQ is OK
Value for money
Perfect. Price is reasonnable and gallery can be used on several sites. Important for non-commercial sites of associations.
I used this to: A new gallery when changing my site to Joomla 4 with display of photos within joomla contents.

Extremely well crafted component + amazing support



Posted on 24 March 2022
Functionality
We searched + purchased about five other gallery components and none of them compared to the flexibility of the Ignite Gallery.
Ease of use
Batch functions (upload, categorize and tag) are by far the best features to make the component easy to use. Easily add custom fields also!
Support
Matt + his team were so gracious with their time to ensure that our client got what they were looking for from the component.
Documentation
Very detailed, but easy to follow. The documentation was really helpful to everything up and running.
Value for money
Hands down, one of the best purchases for the functionalities offered. No question.
I used this to: A very complex and large gallery of microscope images that needed advanced filtering capabilities.

Excellent search function

Functionality
This gallery has a excellent search function for pictures and also a Tag function. I can put a tag on multiple picture with one click
Ease of use
Yes . Very structured. With different profiles i can Change my setups easy
Support
Excellent support. Helping and also teaching. Get response every day
Documentation
Value for money
Very good price. Also with this excellent support ist a cheap price
I used this to: to present my Fotos on web, not commercial. I have more then 2000 pictures online
