this module is not suitable for non web designers or someone who hasn't got time to waste... it requires hand editing of paths to images... clumsy and not up to the general standard expected for a commercial module...
About the best I can say is, it works. It's pretty limited though, and for US$39 I think you are entitled to expect something that has a great deal more functionality than this lightbox extension. Without a good deal of code knowledge (and you shouldn't need that when paying this kind of money) it does not sit comfortably in any design. You can't, for example, get it to sit in line with other graphic buttons in an article. Two questions always come to mind when I buy something like this. Would I recommend it to a friend? Would I buy it again? The answer in both cases is definitely "No".

We are not sure if you have purchased the extension as the price is US$35 not 39.
We have both modules and plugins and you can have it inside an article or a module position like our demo.It fits comfortably to any design and layout as we have parameters to control the dimension of the image as well as the gallery.
You can open a support ticket so that we can help with aligning the image gallery and a graphic using the Joomla Editor .
I had a bit of an issue sorting the images into the order I wanted. I contacted the developer and gave him access to the backend of the site. He logged in and made the fix immediately, no charge.
I have worked with Abilash on a couple small projects now. I added him to Skype and he is availble during my working hours (MST) even though he is offshore. Very easy to get ahold of and very helpful. He seems to be honest about time frames and his prices unlike some of the other offshore developers we have worked with.

I use this program on a site I have written for a RV Rental Company. Client needs to be able to list each RV rig in a separate article with photos for customers to view. I'm trying to keep the client out of the backend as much as possible and give them front end access to as many features as I can. With the plug-in portion of this program the user is able to create the lightbox feature on his website while creating the article on the front end. Simple codes to add to the article allows this. Initially, when I installed the application the photos were showing up in random order. It was important for me to have the photos displayed in a logical order showing the outside of the RV rig first followed by the interior photos. I contacted the programmer about being able to display the photos in alphanumeric order and they quickly updated the program to allow sorting in ascending or descending order. Very friendly and fast service. Quick responses to support ticket. My client is very pleased with his ability to create the lightbox without a lot of backend configuration.
Very nice and easy to use extension. Great and good looking! Easy to install. Support is also great. Within a day a response and the problem was solved!
This module is very very good, helpful and you can change easily a big number of parameters, even for newbies in Joomla! development ! The help desk representative - also - was VERY HELPFUL and gave me a quick response in some problems I faced up during download and installation. Very nice job guys and AGAIN A GREAT THANKS !
