This plugin gets installed as a default on EVERY site I build and has for a couple years now. Some minor tweaks fixed an issue I was having with "float" left/right, and another to default a margin around images. Now it's time to start working with Joomla 1.6 and I can't find anything that works as well!!
I have been using this plugin for nearly a year, and I just works.
I was very easy to install.
Thank you for writing this extension.

it`s an almost flawless and very nice and usefull plugin. But until i installed Artio Joomsef the plugin doesn`t show any thumbnails in the fron ent anymore. The pix in the contents before the installation still work.
as i spent 2 days trying to fix that issue i will have to change and try something else - what a pitty.

The efects is nice, but the thumbnail generator for images that just already in the server doesn´t work.
The same image (width and height) is viewed in the frontend, and I tried everything sayed in the install instructions. Add the styles in the CSS file, add the tag in the class option, but nothing results!

All I had to do was go to plugin parameters to enable it, change path to image folder I wanted the thumbnails to save and it worked instantly. Absolutely seamless and without conflicts or errors. Also with a lot of styling options their is no need to try anything else but this, a wonderful plugin called JoomSlide
Got the thing working but not properly and controlled. But with all the features I assumed it should be a great thing anyway. I have lot of experience with Yootheme and Rockettheme addons.
So the key for Joomla FCK (2.6.4.1) is: Upload a picture and then go to Image Properties / ADVANCED, there you'll find "Stylesheet Classes" "Advisory Title" and "Style". So put "joomslide" in "Style", and the picture description in "Advisory...". Don't forget to activate the plugin guys!

I tried several plugins to do this image effects... and this is the only one which is working fine with my template!
Great tool developers !!! Thanks for this plugin, it helps me to save a lot of time putting images in my articles! Just enable the plugin and all the images you have in your article are resized and looks fine!
This is a very useful plugin! Thanks again!

This is the only thumbnail plugin that I did not have a problem installing and using with my panoramic photographs. My panoramic photo is 12 inches wide. By using this plugin I was able to have the photo reduced to an appropriate thumbnail so the user can just click on it to expand it to full size. I found it very easy to install. Thanks for a job well done.
Too bad this doesn't work and there's no documentation. I checked the forums, and can see that it's working right here with the description of the extension, but I can't do anything with it.
Documentation is extremely simplified, says to add the class: joomslide to your images. I did that and the images open in a new window. No other extensions are using Highslide so there should be no issues. Forums have no responses. Looking for another solution.

This plugin has a lot of potential. But while there are tons of features, there's a few features which are oddly lacking. For example, I can set the duration and number of steps for the "expanding" effect when I click on a thumbnail, but the same settings for closing the large image are set in stone. I want NO animation, so I set everything to 0 (which works as intended), but it still animates when I close the picture.
Also, I can adjust the visibility of the control bar, the caption and the close button, but not the "full size" button, which is always there whether you want it or not, and always in the bottom-right corner. And the animation from "large" to "full size" is not adjustable either.
Looking for help in the Wiki is hopeless, there's no help available there whatsoever. Here's an example of the installation instructions listed there:
- download extension
- use Joomla installer to install
The Wiki is a placeholder, nothing more. Maybe someday content will be added to it.
It's too bad, because other than these issues, this plugin is nearly perfect for my needs. But the missing features are especially conspicuous in their absence.

set to "all images" and let it go to work! just what I wanted, fully automatic thumbnail generation with lightbox functionality.
I want to love this extension, but I can't. As far as I can tell, this is only helpful if you have a certain set of pictures on ONE page on your site and you want to do a slideshow for those pictures. But to just make thumbnails for all the pictures on your site (or many of them), I don't see this extension being helpful (because for one, it will make a slide show out of ALL the photos on your site or at least the ones in a specific directory). Also, the documentation is quite weak. I tried to look at the Wiki, but kept getting "permission denied" notices (even though I was logged in). So, this has a lot of potential, but needs some better documentation and fine tuning so that it doesn't show pictures in a slideshow if you don't want them in a slideshow.
