No adding class names. No limitations on size or shape of your thumbnails. No fugly text hanging outside the picture frame. No editing code of any description.

Just install (via Joomla), insert an image (via Joomla) and resize to a smaller size (in the article editor via Joomla, just as you'd do now). In short, do *nothing* any differently than how you do it now... except you get beautiful slimbox displays of the images in your article - automatically.

I'm in love with this extension!
Easy to install and use. Slick opening animation. I really thought I'd found my extension... until I noticed that the only place you set the display image size is in the plugin itself, and thus *every* image is shown the exact same size (whether it's portrait or landscape). Oh dear. I could even have forgiven this if they allowed you to EITHER put in a height or width but leave one empty. Nope. You have to put in both.

If you only plan on showing one image or identical size and shape images you'll love this. If you need even the tiniest degree of flexibility, try something else.

JFusion  -> Universal User Integration
We have a site with 6 digit numbers of content pieces, thousands of users requiring simultaneous login across forums, a Virtuemart store and Joomla.

jFusion does an amazing job of this incredibly complex task with not much more than a little tweaking of the odd plugin settings page. Doing this without hacking core files of any app, *and* providing excellent support and a rapidly developing code base makes this the most exciting open source project I've seen since Joomla first emerged.

If ever there was a project that deserved praise, use and yes, financial contribution, kids, this is it.
