Thank You !
Check it out on my website. It's only simple but effective.
I did this in less than an hour...
Good work
Thank you for taking the time to create a very detailed set of instructions, as a Joomla beginner, I greatly appreciate the fact that in under 15 minutes I was able to create a beautiful image gallery for my site.
Looks good and works well.
It was just what I was looking for.
Thanks!
Thanks
just make sure that when you reference the image in the syntax {} to use exactly the same file extension, ie .JPG or .jpg not one or the other. I was using .jpg and my captions weren't loading.. realised my images were .JPG and changed them and now working like a charm..
I can't wait for the developer to add a few more viewing styles which can easily be added into the syntax..
great work
If you like to write content and have images within, this is one of the best ways to go - and believe me I've tried different solutions. I like the way you can set your galleries fast.
And besides all that support seems to be great. Had some trouble with the frame around the images and my template css and Andreas Berger got back to me - even during the weekend - sending me the code to get everything working. Thanks.
This is the way to go if you need a gallery. If in doubt check the galleries in my site, at www.joseantunes.com. Look for Editorial and Galeria in the top menu.
Some folders though has I hight MB worked and some that had lower didn't work. In the very end I had to search for another module!
@Ruminiki24
I'm sorry to hear that.
@all
I'm happy about everyone who reviews and rates one of my extensions. Besides of this, I encourage everybody who has problems to ask for support at bretteleben.de. It does not take more time than it takes to write a review - but it can save you time (e.g. dealing with "a couple of numbers"). I'm just a one-man show and I cannot promise to solve every problem but up till now no question remained unanswered.
Best regards
Andreas Berger
I had an issue to begin with and the developers were very responsive and helped me to troubleshoot.
One thing that would be nice would be an optional full-screen preview button perhaps discreetly placed in the corner of the image. However, other extensions from other developers that I tried that had such an option were in other ways less appropriate to my site.
Thanks very much for developing this plug-in!
I have tried some components but your component is that I'm searching for.
Great component
Easy to install
Thank you!
I went for Very Simple Image Gallery, and I was amazed who effective this litle plugin was. It was just what I needed and Easy to config. Ok than; thanks to the step by step documentation.
I must thank you for sharing your wonderfully simple gallery with the world - for free.
I've tried a couple of flash galleries but I just can't get them to work properly. Quite few of them can't event let me use ftp to upload photos to a folder and do up the gallery from there.
Your "simple" gallery does all that and works like charm. The only thing I realised is that I think the file names can't be too long or contain funny signs like this one: '.
All in all, I think you wrote a great software and because of your gallery, I am convinced that I've made the right choice to move on from wordpress + gallery, now i only need to use joomla + your plugin.
Please continue to do up great software like this for the community.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
No time for newbies, I guess...
Hi bljoomla!
First: Thank´s for your suggestion about adding a sample how to align the main image. The question has already come up and has been answered in the comments at the project page, but putting it into the main content of the page is a good idea and I will do so.
Second: I haven't received an email fro you that stayed unanswered nor have I removed a comment from my site.
I would have given it five stars if there was a way to caption to each photo. that's the only thing missing.
