I have little experience with Joomla! and often find several problems when trying to add an extension or plug in that will do what I want without having to register at 101 different sites before I can download the new software, or find after having done that that the software is NOT FREE but requires some sort of payment. Once you actually have the software and try to install it, you get errors or there is little documentation to help you.

This plug-in is brilliant, as it does exactly what it says on the box.

Download it and install it.

and you only have to publish it, after uploading the software to the backend from the zip file, just go to plug-ins and click the red "un-published" icon to publish it and for most parts it works 100% straight away.

I found that if my files were "name.jpg.jpg" then I had to enable the "don't clean html" code as described and had to use the fb:src="name.jpg.jpg" to get it to work, but this is avoidable if you use good file names and extensions. Renaming the files via FTP was quicker and automatically made the pop up work for these images.

Easiest software to install and use, documentation was very good and not to long, but with good examples.

WELL DONE, now if only ALL Joomla! software was done this way, it would be a very quick way of adding option software to your CMS site without the hassle of having to go through loads of bad software to fine the diamond in the crap heap
