The best image plugin. Take it and install it. No problems at all.
I would recommend the author to insert the option to add a watermark over the image. It would be the perfect plugin.

This is an excellent plugin and I use it in most of my sites. Makes dealing with images for blog articles a lot easier. However, I tried using in a 1.7 site and it appears that it is not yet compatible. There is a huge black border around the image (though it does resize it). Look forward to a fix. I will recommend this plug in every time. Keep up the good work.

Hello

I installed the plugin, is perfect for how simple it is.

I have a problem with the route Thumbnails

If the test page looks
http://www.ar-te.es/prueba/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70:reciclaje-y-medio-ambiente&catid=39:col2&Itemid=37

I really do not see the thumbnails, I checked and there, but there
an error in the path, looking at the direction of the thumbnail indicates

http://www.ar-te.es/ohome/artees/public_html/prueba/images/thumbnails/images-stories-slide-simple_img_1-214x101.jpg

When the right direction would

"http://www.ar-te.es/prueba/images/thumbnails/images-stories-slide-simple_img_1-214x101.jpg"

where I can fix, thanks

Very good plugin. Only you have to resize the image since you do y. .. article that's all.

The only thing I questioned is that the animation displayed when you zoom is rough or dry, and would be good if you could set up the animation.

Congratulations, it's a very useful Plugin

Beautiful, works perfectly !

All my images come from a remote site
But we can not define a remote directory for thumbnails

One of the best plugin to resize images. It reduce page loading time and bandwidth use. Should be installed on every site.

I am pretty new to Joomla having only developed three sites with it to date. Felt I had to leave a review for this as it just works so well.

Couldn't be simpler to install and use and the visual effect is great too. Can't think of a negative.

Thank you for such a great extension!

This is an absolutely perfect little extension that functions perfectly and creates simple, excellent thumbnail galleries inside an article.

I highly recommend this to anyone, particularly Joomla n00bs.

This extension is excellent: as soon as it's installed and the plugin is activated, it works smoothly with no additional configuration necessary. I use mootools menus and some article slider modules, and this doesn't seem to conflict with anything, which is also a nice benefit. I use JCE as my wysiwyg editor, and I was glad to see that no extension specific plugin was required.

It would be nice if there were a support forum.

I'm using this extension in a site for a State Park, in which I'm using SobiPro as a directory for the park. Unfortunately, when I add entries via the Sobi editor (also uses JCE wysiwyg), Mavik Thumbs doesn't work. I saw the post below about editing the Joomla 1.5 template to get it to work in categories, and I assume this is the same sort of issue.

Hello, it works fine with articles, but not with category description.
Is it possible to make it work with categories

Thanks
Owner's reply

In categories plugin work only in Joomla 1.6
In Joomla 1.5 you must rewrite template of categories.

I really love this plugin. It performs a feature that should be in core Joomla! It saves me from having to manually create thumbnails and then presents nicely sized images to the users of my site.

Unfortunately, this plugin sometimes gives an error on some pages when using the highslide option. It shows up as a javascript error 'hs.addSlideshow(. . .) with hs not defined'. Not sure why. Support is hard to find as the author's website is not in English and I can't find an email nor contact point. But I work around this for now by not using highslide. If this error was fixed, it could earn an excellent!

Very Very good.

Only one things is missing for me.
I'm using the option "For image not resized" to put the max size of image in an article.
But if the size of the image is forced to big... It should be cool to resize it...

In one way, i would like to have the option "For image (resizd or not) bigger that the default size".

Should be great, not ?

This is great. Thanks!!!
I really appreciate your work.
I would like to let you know that there are two issues with Firefox 4.0/Chrome. When I use Slimbox mode is not showing the pictures properly (25% only). No problem with earlier versions of those browsers. Also there is one tiny thing when I use Higslides mode. It is showing transparent png images even when I exclude them using the advance parameters. Joomla Modal is working just fine on any of those browsers.
Thank you very much for this extension.

Hi, thank you for providing this plugin. It is what I was looking for, and it is easy to use and works perfectly.
I had a warning message displayed on the index page, and I could not understand why. I sent an email to Vitaliy, and he replied back to me quickly, and solved the issue! I cannot express how much I appreciate to Vitaliy. He and his plugin is my life saver! Thank you so much :)

I was looking for a way to upload and keep original image, have thumbs in blog view and a medium image or original image on article site, if needed resize image and auto thumbnail generation. I wanted to add just path to original image within article, so I am not dependent on a specific extension. This way I can move images and just edit path in database for all or go on with another extension once support of used one expires with future joomla extensions.

Mavik thumbnails does all this and right now is my favourite solution for adding images in articles. Very nice work!!! I actually tested your extension because it was ready for Joomla 1.6!!! Greetings from Germany

I installed the plug-in and enabled it, nothing happens. I added an image to an article and it will not create the pop-up. With no directions for use to assure that I have not missed anything, I am stuck.
