The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Wonderful plugin! Extremely easy to install, configure and use.
And also have a LOT of customization and personalization options.
Just what i was looking for!
Many many thanks to the autor(s)!!!!

I have tried a good few image gallery extensions for Joomla over the last few years, and found that the "Simple Image Gallery" concept worked well for me as I could have several dynamic galleries on a site without any problems. I specially like the way I can simply drop a new image into a folder and the gallery is updated without me having to do any more.

One problem I found with most of these extensions was that they did not validate the XHTML properly and therefore created a vast number of errors on the site.

Because of this I was looking for a replacement. I then came across SIGE, and viola, I finally got galleries that validated 100% without errors.

In addition I like the fact that this extensions have a huge amount of configuration options that enables me to further tailor my sites.

Finally the "watermark" feature is just great, and is definitely one I will use to protect the images better.

As i said in the title, this is by far the best image gallery plugin I have come across and will therefore recommend this highly.

Keep up the great work!!

I have used Joomla on various web sites for many years, starting from the old Mambo days. This has to be the simplest, easiest and best looking gallery plugin I have ever used! Whilst many galleries are getting very complicated, overly slick and bloated this fills my needs perfectly has a few configuration options and is fast! Thanks for a great product using the KISS principle works for me!!!

Best plugin I have come across so far for Joomla (and it works with 1.6 too).

Still pinching myself as it installed without any problems and worked first time! Oh, and the syntax to embed into an article couldn't be much simpler.

Just enable the plugin and you're away. Would have taken hours to program this manually.

Excellent extension! Had no problems!

I wonder wether you plan to integrate images form Flickr and Picasa? Would make the extensions in my eyes unbeatable.

I was searching for this for a long time! This is an excellent plugin - easy to set up and does what it says.

I was trying to add coupons to one of my sites, and this plugin works amazing, as the images acn be downloaded and printed.

Thank you very much!

The extension is great, lots of possibilities, many features.
I've found two problems (at least for me):
- Forum, Documentation and sample pages in German - very tough to understand, even making translation to English with google (I'm from Brazil).
- The instructions line {} has strange behaviors, adding one space it simply stop working (I'm using JCE and Google Chrome, is it the problem?)

Despite that, it's a great extension.
Congrats!

Hi, I met with SIGE after a conflict of JA Tabs and Simple Image Gallery Plugin. While I was looking for a good one, I found this great plugin. It is not in conflict with JA Tabs extension.
Thank you very much for this free plugin. You're a Star :)

Good day!
Very nice plug-in, but where English documentation? Not Germany, but English is international language. Thank you very much for developer

When I started to work with my first Joomla based project I need a gallery which can show both single pictures in my articles and the whole gallery easy without superfluous features. My friend who helped me to start with Joomla advised me Simple Image Gallery Extended (SIGE) as a variant. So I started to discover SIGE's features to understand are they correspond to my project needs.
Also I wanted to know more about SIGE's alternatives but finally all my investigations on this question had shown SIGE as a best solution for me.
The setup of SIGE was easy for me as a Joomla's newbie. I'd understood its work principles very fast. During configuration and applying SIGE with my images I found it as a very easy-to-use gallery with possibility of setup main features thru Joomla's backend and using a couple of overriding keys for each case in my articles. All I need is just prepare set of my photos, put them to a folder and write the gallery code to the material. I don't need think about generating thumbnails - SIGE does it itself well. Showing pictures in different modes (for ex. Light Box) is great.
I've encountered some problems with reading CP1251 Cyrillic characters from IPTC tag. I just had tags encoded only that way 'cause writing IPTC on Wintel in UTF8 is not so easy. Support was very fast and good - problem had been solved quickly.
SIGE is used on a travel agency site for the moment. And I suppose I will use it in my further projects too.
Many thanks to SIGE's developer!

I have looked everywhere for a simplified Joomla plugin for creating galleries, and finally landed on this awesome plugin!
Two words..SIMPLY AWESOME!

Thanks again!

Very useful gallery. What's important for me - it works under IE 6,7 and is fully valid XHTML 1.1!

2 moments it'll be great to add in future releases:
- option to disable warning message when no image found in dirrectory
- remove hardcoded Deitshe labels from JS. Seeing "Bid 1 von 2" instead of "Image 1 from 2" isn't what I want. I can change this messages in files but it's not user friendly way.

Very slim and easy to handle. Just the right thing, if you want to show a couple of pics without installing a "big" gallery. Thanks very much!

simple for editing, has all the options I needed. previously tryed about dozen other galleries, but this one is the best so far. many thanks to the developers.

Yes, it is! Nevertheless, its powerful and has just all the goodies needed to make me happy!
Thanks to the developer I had my Gallery up in no time and the IPTC really works like a charm :D

5 Stars all round. This is a great extension and should be used my more people. I had to get through a lot of others before I got down the list this this.

It is simple.. It works ( even on an IIS server).. CSS is easily modified.. and has all the features that you ( well.. I ) could want.

Was able to create a great 'wall' gallery with the addition of some opacity css and the client loves it.

The only comments I would make are 1) It could use some english docs (sorry, but the google translate isnt great) and 2) if you use the on site translater, you cant downlod (oops) because of the http://translate links.

Thank you so much for this! Keep up the great work.

I just wanted to thank the developer for an amazing improvement over the previous Simple Image Gallery Plus I'd been using. My only question or issue is a difficulty in having the thumbnails display horizontaly as opposed to the present vertically stacked output.

Great job!

Simple, effectice, valid and nice.
Thanks a lot Viktor (wuerfeldreher)!
