The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is a very nice plugin for creating galleries. I was looking for a component that could be used for a portfolio but was having trouble finding a good extension. I decided to look in the gallery section and came across this handy little but powerful pugin. Thanks go out to the developer for a great FREE plugin that works well.

Great gallery. Easy to install and setup. I needed to add about 20 images on each page ( on about 30 pages ). This plugin made the job so easy and simple!

Love the themes! Decided to use the 'Artistic' version!

Could not get images to load in light box though, don't know why, probably some issue on my end.

Thanks a lot!

very good extension! super

It seems like it took forever to find a gallery that worked for me and that was attractive and easy to use too. I love this gallery extension and definitely recommend it.

This plugin implements a photo gallery using a "Lightbox"and is similar to other plugins that also use this method. It was easy to install and implement, especially if you have experience with other photo gallery plugins. It has a few features which deserve a second look:

* "Full Gallery" theme, which presents the picture with a panel beneath with numbered buttons for each picture in the gallery
* "New" pictures: If a picture has been recently (as defined by the user) added to the directory a little banner with the word "New" is displayed in the upper left corner
* There are some other themes which some users might find useful

There are, however, some problems with the plugin. Some of these are not unique to this plugin:

* There is no way to dynamicaly resize the full image to fit a normal screen. Images needed to be resized ahead of time or they might not be completely visible (if they are too big for the screen).
* The "New" banners do not move with the pictures when the scrolling up and down through the thumbnails.
* Pictures must be in a subdirectory of /images/stories, this is not a preference that can be changed. The gallery can be several levels down, although this is not mentioned in the documentation.

With a few fixes and additional features this could be a very useful plugin.

I would like to thank the developers of this excellent plugin.

It is very easy to set up and I don't think creating an image gallery can get any easier than with this plugin.

I am using SEF URLs in my website, and there were no issues of any kind. The image gallery worked out of the box.

Thanks a lot for contributing to Joomla community.

I like this Plugin because it is very simple to understand and to install!

It only has one limit which is that I have to mandatory place every gallery to the images/stories/ folder. I will use this plugin for creating galleries and to show single pictures as well. This mess up the way I organize my galleries folders but not a big deal! THIS PLUGIN REMAIN VERY SIMPLE TO USE AND IT WORKS AND THAT'S GREAT!
