This is a simple way to make portfolio page. However, I think you can add an option to let user choose : when click on the thumbnail image, open it in Lightbox overlay, or just open the article full-text page to read the details of that project(in this case, do not load the jQuery script to make page light).

And, if we choose to show a "Section", can you group those thumbnails by Category?

Thanks.

Does everything the component says. Nice looks and works wonderfully on my site. I had trouble at first learning how to use it but I contacted the author (Gary) and he even sent me a video explaining me how to use it. Really an amazing piece of software. Thank you gary for all.

Keep up the outstanding job!!!

This is a nice extension. Whatever, it would be better, if one could change the displayed length of the title.

This is the most simple way to get a portfolio.
There is absolutly nothing what do you have to configure, excluding the picture size.
You select a Category or a Section and that is it.
You get a picture which is directly clickable and the Title of the Article which ist clickable too.

But, and thats the reason for a 4-stars vote, this component destroy the "Simple Tab and Slider Module" on my right side completly.

I hope you have a solution for this Problem soon as possible.
