Thank you for your review!
nice extension ,easy to use and make save lot of time.
I extend your component with one or two minor functionnalities:
the natural sort ordering so you can order your pictures manually.
a suffix css class for each call to the plugin to customize the layout.
where I can send you the sources?

I have installed and paid for a few simple gallery extensions but SIGE has snagged it. Thanks for a great pices of software, so easy and looks great. I will make sure I donate to help you develop this further. Not that it needs much more. Great work and thanks.

Thank you for the review and donation!
Still I'm a beginner with Joomla! and just finished my first website ever (at the age of 56, if anybody minds). I needed a easy-to-use photo-gallery, and I'm happy that I found SIGE. Easy to install, easy to use, lots of parameters. Offers much more than I needed at the beginning. Top-rating from me!

I am not a very technical person. So I was looking for an easy way to display certain pictures. SIGE is a great extention. It is easy to install. The documentation is excellent and it is very easy to use.
Many thanks!!!! Great work.

(The issue was solved in the support forum.)
Or should I say lightbox killer? For a simple and lightweight gallery or for images embedded in your content or wherever, forget the rest, commercial and all, SIGE does it all.
It installs easy. No need for support -- it runs right out of the box. It has a ton of options and it is easy to configure. You can, simply(!!!)override the settings in the call to the plugin. It is light. My sites run faster and with less layout problems than with one of the commercial lightboxes I paid for.
The demo site is in German so it takes a bit to figure out some of the settings. When that support site is translated this plugin will go to the top of the Joomla users "must-have" list! Danke!

Thank you for your review!
This is my first review about an extensions, and i'm proud of it, thanks for this excellent plugin.

Thank you very much for your first review!
For all to read, this is a wonderfull plugin. I even replaced other thumbnails solutions with this one because you can switch off javascript to let JCE mediabox emulate Lightbox. Also, as thumbnail solution I had an increase of speed of my website. So this plugin is Excelent, and when you have a question or a remark, you get a quik answer from Victor Vogel. So download this one, it's for your own good.

Thank you for the pleasant review!
This is an excellent gallery plugin for joomla.
I'm building a new website for my photographs. I don't have a lot of experience with webdesign, but this plugin is very easy to use and offers a lot of features!
The result is stunning and exactly what I have been looking for.
Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot!

After trying out several photo albums on a test server with J1.6 this has become my favorite because it fulfils all my needs. I've couldn't it done better by myself. So thanks a lot. I use it for a hiking magazine with lot of pictures (+15000) to illustrate my walkings with comments (yes, it's possible to add text with the pictures, even on a slide show).
SIGE is easy to implement, and straightforward. I re-use one article, so they all look the same.
One thing several readers of my website discovered is that they could not see the pictures using Internet Explorer 9. Something to do with mootools I suppose, but that will be fixed soon I hope. Any advice for fixing it is welcome. Thanks a lot for the good work!

I have tried a good few image gallery extensions for Joomla over the last few years, and found that the "Simple Image Gallery" concept worked well for me as I could have several dynamic galleries on a site without any problems. I specially like the way I can simply drop a new image into a folder and the gallery is updated without me having to do any more.
One problem I found with most of these extensions was that they did not validate the XHTML properly and therefore created a vast number of errors on the site.
Because of this I was looking for a replacement. I then came across SIGE, and viola, I finally got galleries that validated 100% without errors.
In addition I like the fact that this extensions have a huge amount of configuration options that enables me to further tailor my sites.
Finally the "watermark" feature is just great, and is definitely one I will use to protect the images better.
As i said in the title, this is by far the best image gallery plugin I have come across and will therefore recommend this highly.
Keep up the great work!!
