installed on ALL of my joomla-installations without any problems!
there's only one thing i've discovered so far: if you want to place an image smaller than the original one into an article and want to create a link to an external site through that image, that won't work, because the mavik-plugin will create the thumbnail AND the link to the full-resolution picture.
so you have to put clickable images always in full-res into your articles.
great work!! thanks a lot =)

This is a must have plugin in all J! websites - thanks a lot for developing it .
Thanks for all your hard work.
This is a great plugin, specially if you work with images on your site. And is so simple to use it took me a while to figure what to do. All i needed to do was resize the image on my article editor and save it. wow! and works like a charm. I was using multithum, but it seems like is no longer compatible with joomla 1.5. Thank you to the developers for this plugin.
This great image enlargement plugin has become one of my "must install" extensions for joomla setups.
Don´t worry if the slimbox layer is showing up on the wrong "layer" (this may happen with some templates like the famous ja_purity I and II), you only have to make some z-index changes to make it work like expected.
P.S.: The new highslide opening function is great.

This extensions works great but every time you change a picture in size (which you probably do a lot) it creates a new thumbnail.
It creates a thumbnail name like 299x240-images-stories-yourfolder-filename-pic1.jpg. This means a lot of data on your server that isn't used and probably doesn't help the SEO of a website.
My idea is that it would be better to have it create a name that just shows filename-thumb1.jpg.

it does exactly what it says, and with very little effort from the editor side.
I am having trouble though with transparent images (both gif and png): the transparent background is displayed as black on the thumbnails, and as grey on the enlarged picture. is there any option I need to fine tune in order to parse transparent images?
I would also like to be able to disable the popup function for certain images, as the nofb="nofb" option of the fboxbot plugin does. is there any way I could tag any image in order to resize it as normal but disable the mouseover interaction and the popup function?

hey
thank you for the great ext.
i needed like a day to try to understand how it works.
for those who have problem to understand here is how i made it work.
you need to upload the images that you want to the root of mavik Thumbnails:
/plugins/content/mavikthumbnails/thumbnails/
then simply add HTML code to disply the image.
the image that will be disply, just give height and width to the image to make it smaller.
then HREF it to the same image.
if u do this, it will work perfect

Great, easy to install but I lost a lot of hits due to the slimbox option which gave my site an "Unable to view site" error in IE. I switched it to the Highslide option, which I dont like as much but seems to work now in IE.
Great extension. I save me a lots of time in inserting images into my article. And great support too. He responses to me quite quick.
