Just install and test...I need a component like that for a small garage selling they own cars and no more..For this use this component appear to me great and is more less the case..

PRO:

- Easy to install and use
- Multi-languages

CONS:

- No SEF url
- Thumbnails not fit the configured size
- No working search module (management make/models ajaxified work sometime yes sometime no)
- No thumb/cars showcase featured or random category module
- And the worst point absolutely no support

With paid version maybe the support are more decent..but I don't need this version because it contain more options useless for me...In my case the free version are quite enough..

Maybe am wrong but I don't see for what this plugin are useful...In fact with Joomla we can already create an user account and login using our email address instead a username... So users can choose what is the best for they and use username or email address...For what I know majority of any website ask a username instead a email...but the great thing with default login module is users are free to choose...You can also warn your users by adding a pre-text about this freedom...

I like the fact it is simple to use/manage and are SEF supported. This kind of stuff are really necessary in the JED for who have small website. The ultimate gallery are Phocagallery and Joomgallery but are too much complex for who need just a simple gallery for publish some picture without million of options/features. Anyway this addon need some improvement because some point are not well making difficult to use in production site.

- When you upload a small image (like 480 pixels wight for example) you get a GD error because the size of popup image are hardcoded by default to 500 pixels so any image below this size will cause an error.
- Ability to customize easily the size of thumbnail and popup image and keep really that size. In fact pictures are scaled and not totally resized to default hardcoded size.
- Public location of all stored images. Actually all image are stored inside Administrator folder making impossible to protect this folder with htaccess (like is often suggested for increase security) because all image will not displayed.
- Ability to choose slideshow ON / OFF instead ON hardcoded by default
- Add pagination features
- I agree with review of craig2006 telling ability to change default name Lightgallery

I think this component can have great potential if developer keep it simple like it is. Maybe a simple random image module can be also proposed in future. Personally I will very happy to pay for this component if all this point are solved. I will follow the development and hope some improvement will be done in near future.

I have switch from JCE to FCKeditor and am very happy with this addon. Very flexible, well supported, simple to install and manage and FREE. The addon consist to a simple plugin when JCE require a component and many other dedicated commercial plugin for extend feature like resize picture and upload files. The new Image Manager are great and permit to perform many task on images.

The only thing must be absolutely added for become the real best editor are probably:

-Ability to remove picture from Image Manager because actually when you upload a picture you can not delete them. The only manner are to use default Joomla Media Manager and this is very annoying.

-Ability to change/customize easily the size or thumbnail when a image are uploaded using Image Manager. Actually only 2 size are proposed by default (550x350 and 1000x1000).

-Ability to create popup image using Slimbox or Modal for example. The problem for implement a popup features are probably the fact this require to manage 3 images for generate a popup...That mean if a user upload an image (most probably a picture coming from a camera and so with a big format size like 2000x900 pixels for example) is necessary to set an intermediate image (the one that will be displayed in popup) and so to choose appropriate size and finally a thumbnail where user will click for display intermediate image. Ability also to choose to not keep the original big image can be nice...this for save disk space and avoid useless files.

Anyway this editor are the best one...should be included in Joomla core instead the poor Tiny editor.

Nice component and simple to use. Unfortunately not again enough mature for my need because some point are missing: No javascript check about validity of email (correct syntax like mail@domain.com instead mail@domain) and for number (e.g ZIP code or phone number). Captcha sometime don't work correctly I don't know why...If I put correct displayed code I get error in a next page telling "Sorry, the code you entered is invalid." with a back link...If I click on that link I come back to form and loose all data...always boring when you have fill a big form and must re-fill again. Sometime Captcha are not readable and a little "refresh button" near to the code can be cool for get another image code. Except all this points this component are great and can be used maybe internaly of the site (registred users) like that you can disable captcha code. Hope in next release all this points will be solved...
