Very simple to install and to use right away. However you have to know how to upload photo to server firstly.

Very light and easy plugin. Clean and flexible code. The only thing I had to do is add jpeg as accepted extension, which took me only 2 minutes. Great job guys!

Very Simple Image Gallery.
Als Joomla-Anfänger ist es sehr einfach das Plugin zu laden, die Galerie ein zu binden und zu konfigurieren. Dennoch ist das Ergebniss für meine Zwecke nicht "Very Simple" sondern exellent. Nicht überladen, so das das Betrachten der Bilder Spass macht. Danke auch für die deutsche Beschreibung. Macht das ganze noch einfacher.

After trying to get a simple gallery out of Phoca Gallery (love your other products but not this one) I came looking for a simple attractive gallery. This is it!

Does exactly what it says. Simple to operate. I liked it so much I downloaded their Simple Picture Slide Show as well.

Thank you so much! Alison

Great extension. Very easy to install and use and I'm especially impressed with the well written and thorough tutorial, which is a rare thing to come by these days.

I was having trouble finding what I needed, and was actually working with another extension. I could not get the parameters to work for me, so I sent an email to support explaining what I needed. I received a quick reply very simply stating that Very Simple image Gallery could meet my needs.
I am now able to have my main image on the left with a single row of thumbnails to the right.

Awesome extension. worked right out of the box.
two thumbs up from me.

Just as the name suggests, this plugin is Very Simple to use. It installed easily and worked immediately. It also has a lot of very nice "advanced" features that make it easy to customize if you want to get less simple. I am very pleased with this plugin and will be making extensive use of it on my Joomla site.

I needed a clean and simple gallery for my own portfolio, i didn't need an eye candy gallery with lots of effects and long load times, drawing the attention and time from my work,i needed a gallery so my work it's more important than the gallery itself. And that's why it's perfect this little and "very simple" gallery. Great!

Great extension, very easy to use and the results are fantastic. Also, the parameters works properly and the time of loading the images are very fast.

One of the best extension I´ve found for galleries.

Good work!!

I've tried several galleries but none worked well immediately. The Very Simple Image Gallery works immediately. But on my website the browser jumps to the top of the page when selecting a new image. I’m using the ja_purity template.

I solved the problem by selecting temporarily another template and then return to ja_purity. Then the problem was solved. Maybe it's a Joomla bug.

Simple indeed, but powerful and if you have good content results will be amazing. Many configuration options allowing to suit your needs. I was able to embed it inside my articles and create eye-catching content. Certainly worth recommending!

As everyone says, very simple and looks great! Only issue I had was at first some of my photos were showing up black, but then I realised I had to change the suffix from JPG to jpg and is all working fine now!! Great extension.

I have used this for a community web-site.
Easy to install and easy for the web authors to use. Also nice that it is already available for Joomla 1.6. If you use this, play around with the settings a bit - the default settings were not good for me.

Hello.

Thank you for your great extension for joomla. I like it a lot, but I have a question.

Could I combine "sample1" gallery and "sample5" gallery. I want gallery to look like this at "sample1", but I want to navigate true pictures with clicking "back" and "next" - "sample5 gallery". It would be even better if navigation would be inside picture with arrows.
Is it possible?
