Owner's reply: Hi,

contact: on phoca.cz site, you have a link directly to contact me and of course the best method to get support (of course free) is phoca forum: http://www.phoca.cz/forum

documentation: see:

http://www.phoca.cz/documentation/category/14-phoca-gallery-plugin
http://www.reisefotografien.eu/phoca-bedienungsanleitungen/category/26-phoca-gallery-plugin

documentation with examples: see:

http://www.phoca.cz/demo/phocagallery-plugin with 20 documentation and example sections (or see other demo sites)

I have made a lot of free extensions, so sometimes it is not possible in my free time (after my regular work) to answer many posts in email, in chat or in forum, manage all the translations (overs 1000 translation files), have the documentation up-to-date, etc. So if somebody wants to help with free projects, this will be great. Many people think I am superman, but I am not, I don't have so much time I need so if anybody can help to project (e.g. with improving the documentation), will be great and I and all the community will appreciate it a lot.

Thank you, Jan

Owner's reply: Hi, thank you very much for your review, please try to ask in phoca forum, I think, there was some xmap extension for Phoca Gallery :idea:

Owner's reply: Hi,

if you get some problem just ask here:

http://www.phoca.cz/forum - maybe this can save you some minuts/hours

To get information from documentation, visit:
http://www.phoca.cz/documents/14-phoca-gallery-plugin/58-displaying-phoca-gallery-plugin

To see it live in examples, go to:
http://www.phoca.cz/demo/phocagallery-plugin

and other demo sites (there are over 30 exmaples of the using of the plugin and many of using the component)

I will try to answer following issues:

- The settings are not described precisely enough (few simple images cold help a lot in understanding which setting does what exactly)

==> see above - there is a documentation link with all the parameters and there is a link to exapmles (over 30 examples) and of course there is a forum where you can get help


- Adding multiples photos to gallery is not intuitive at all.

==> Not sure, the Multiple Add function was made by community users for quickly adding images to gallery (I think they have selected good way as adding of all possible albums with help of Multiple Add function is really easy and fast - http://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-gallery-component/8-multiple-adding-images-categories-and-subcategories )


- If there's a larger amount of images, there's no simple way of telling which were added last.

==> every image get timestamp (of course if all images are added at once, then the ordering says simply which image was added as last)

- Whole layout of gallery crashes when trying to switch through several gallery templates (for example, icons from the previous one appear on the current).

==> Not sure what you mean, I don't know any such feature in Phoca Gallery ???

- Explaining how to use this gallery to a client, who isn't exactly a computer geek is like trying to learn a monkey how to read

==> Maybe telling him the links to documentation will help.

Thank you, Jan

Regarding questions in the forum. See Phoca Forum rules: http://www.phoca.cz/forum/forum-rules.php

1. ... I (developer) need to work in my regular work, need to sleep sometime, etc. Usually I am visiting this forum every second or third day and after my regular work I am answering cca 90 posts at night ... (the same is by moderators or other users, who all are answering posts and helping people for free in their freetime).

(Anyway - It seems, there is nobody in Joomla! world who has answered more questions regarding Joomla! than me, I will sure answer your questions there but please be patient)

Thank you for your understanding.
