Visualization problem



Posted on 04 February 2014
n general this is not bad gallery, but I had problems with images which was not visualized. I had such problem on few websites with EVENT GALLERY. I contact support once, but didn't get working solution. Really sad but i can't use it.
Owner's reply: Sorry to hear that. I can't remember a single support request which ended unsolved so far. So please don't try to be the first one and get in touch with me again.
In all the years I set up Joomla cites, I always did come back to the search for a good looking thumbnail representation of images in galleries.

End of last year, I did finally found what I need in the "Event Gallery".

It does all what I expect and even better that I thought !

The Ajax loading of the thumbnails, as they are required by their visibility, and the server side size adaptation of them are good performance features.

But also the backend, for setting up galleries, is easy and intuitive in use.



Thanks a lot to Sven for this great Work, his support and his continuous development.

blank page



Posted on 31 January 2014
It took me almost two hours to configure and read the documentation to find out how to setup it. It was very tiring to make this work, and now I realize that what I did was a waste of time, when i see that my images do not load, keep seeing loading and blank page as result. That's why I stop to use this component.
Owner's reply: I case of issues it is always a very good idea to contact me first. Usually I can help out very quickly.

Just Perfect!

I really love this component! Tried a few photo components, but this is absolut my favorite.

On one site I only had a problem that the thumbnails were not showing up in the frondend of the website. I contacted Sven Bluege himself and he helped me with the problem: it was a conflict with: jQuery.

A lot of thanks for the help and the excellent extension!

Slow and complex



Posted on 20 January 2014
It is not so easy to manage images in gallery and upload process not native, as result I spend much time to accomplish some simple tasks. Second point it's slowing down page. I tested with chrome and it has some delays with loading of the files.

I have used this gallery in past and really strange that on another website i didn't have the same problem with slowing down.
Owner's reply: I'm sorry to hear that. It's is always a good idea to get in touch with me to sort things out.
i couldnt ask for better and easier thing for my website! i had problem with something in the style but sven helped helped me litteraly in minutes!! keep up the great work
I was using the free version for a while and upgraded to the full version got to say it is fantastic had a slight issue with the upgrade (my inexperience) so set up a support ticket and was sorted within a hour fantastic support and it is by far the best extension i have bought for my joomla site easy to use and has all the functionality i could need for my photography business, many thanks
easy installation and easy to setup... the view is responsive and beautifull.. good work developer.. thanks
