Photoon Photo Gallery
(Simplicity is everything)
We decided to build this component because we needed it our self for a customer. And after some search in wane, we decided to build it our self. The whole idea behind Phooton is simplicity, simplicity and simplicity. It should be easy to make a new gallery on a joomla web site. Just make an menu item and choice the folder that should be shown as a gallery.
Just install and choice the image folder you want to be the gallery. The thumbnails are made and cached automaticly. And there is four different ways to show your thumbnails. Almost every aspect of the photo gallery is customazible, such as:
- height and width of the thumbnails
- margin and padding
- border width and color
- custom image description (for whole gallery or specific image)
- image folder (in the "stories" folder)
- image description on or off
- Enlarged images auto adjust to the browser window.
- No flash (works with ipad/iphone).
- Now works with both joomla! 1.5 and 1.6!

Hi, great extension, very easy to set up and configure, really great work. I also love how you can just dump the images into one folder and voila! When you need a simple gallery with some cool animation and pop up, this can't be beat.
After following install instructions and making sure I've got all related extensions installed, I'm showing an error but I'm sure its something that I haven't configured correctly on my site, something I'm missing so just sent you message via your site. Thanks again a cool extension.

This is a fantastic component! Worked right out of the box. Easy install and simple implementation. Love how you can dump all your images into a folder, tie to a menu item and the component does the rest, including Thumb generation. Lots of configuration options. Great Gallery Component!
The gallery looks nice. It was what I wanted: Easy, good locking, up to date! But it seems like no one cares when you have problems. I wait for 10 days now for support. Imho for a commercial version to long.
If they improve the support, this could be a great gallery, but for now only "Average" because I can not use it and no one answers the support mails.

I've used a few other photo galleries but found Photoon to be what I was looking for: something simple and straightforward for a photography website. I was able to set this up and being using it very quickly, using the server filesystem to manage photo albums.
While I did run into a few bugs, support was prompt and understanding. Although I ultimately found the solution myself, the developer made a personal effort to understand my problem.
Overall, Photoon is a great component if you just need a straightforward photo gallery without any serious setup.

Everything seemed to be going well until I tried to publish the gallery and noticed that the images will not load. It recognizes that there are images from the folder but it will not display them... Also when I click on them i get "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later."
