Support

If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm committed to providing prompt support and resolving problems quickly, often within a few hours. Before reaching out, please review the requirements section in the manual to troubleshoot common issues.


Installation

The installation package is quite large. Please ensure your upload limit is sufficient. If necessary, you can use the provided download link to install the component via the Joomla Extension Manager.

If you want a nice modern, non complicated component that supports multiple categories and the ability to display a categories page, then Event Gallery is the answer. Amazing and quick support.



My only wishlist items would include, more styling options (shadow, radias) without modding the core CSS, ability to set lightbox large photo size, and to have a progressive uploader for large images and not relying on php limits.

Great gallery!

A great gallery, with many options, and excellent support. I had problems with showing of diacritic symbols on frontend, and I got the answer in less than an hour. Works perfect.
comparing many photo extensions and this certainly impress me the most.

I became a fan of this extension and went with the extended version.



When I encountered some doubts and display issue with my template...great support and documentation assist me along the way.



two thumbs up!~~
I have used many different photo extensions. This is by far the best. The layout is crisp and clean. The photos display nicely with many different layout options and functions. You can have this installed and configured withing a matter of minutes, And when I needed some help on the article plugin, support replied to the ticket within minutes and sorted my question in a single response (I just missed enabling one of the plugins). I highly recommend Event Gallery!

Superb extension

Very nice extension, functional and able to cutomise. In addition - perfect contact with support... nice and helpfull guy
The extension is very easy to use, multi-purpose . Very easy to install, good documentation, perfect support.
Very great product that was created out of need. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.

Sven has created a wonderful program that is simple and effective.

Even during a recent support issue, Sven was willing to work late/early hours to help resolve the one and only issue we have ever had with the product. In the end, the issue was with our website that we were installing the product on and not the product itself.

we will recommend this product to all of our customers who are looking for a photo gallery product with (or without) a shopping cart/store.
Extremely impressed. Excellent documentation, extension was very easy to use, youtube videos to show how to use it, I am so impressed with how fast the developer responded to my support ticket, on and on and on. Really one of the best extensions I have used in many years of Joomla development.

Perfect

Your extension is absolutely gorgeous and neat. It responds to the needs a lot of photographers could face. I have searched the web for such a tool. Or they are services with month fees, or they are tools (extensions or closed CMS for e-commerce but don't have the photographs feel and touch in mind, or they are galeries without a cart).

And compared to galeries, yours is one of the rare that proposes full screen zoom, minimalistic buttons and the clic anywhere function on a zoomed photo to switch to the next one.

The e-commerce side is a breeze.

I give to everybody the advice to give some $ to have the Extended version of this component because the extended features are the icing on the cake. Especially the excellent support from the developer.
For a free extension this totally rocks, the layouts are awesome.



The only addition I would suggest is the option to specify the image used as the gallery thumb, it's a bit temperamental.



But overall a total thumbs up, if the client was prepared to spring for the extended I would have got it within 30 mins of installing it!!
Owner's reply: I'm glad you gave those 5 stars! The option to define the main image for a gallery is already there. Get in touch with me if you need a hint ;-)
