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.

Event Gallery is singularly the best responsive photo gallery out there. I say this as a website developer with 19 years as a full-time webmaster. I have tried "every" responsive photo gallery in the JED and this one works, out of the box each and every install, and does so with style! Sven is amazingly prompt in answering questions and has a very cool sense of humor. Either the free or paid versions are truly exceptional. Do yourself a favor and skip the free one and jump right into the pro version, as it will be one of your better Joomla extension buys! It is part of my Joomla "toolbox" and it should be in yours too!

Don't look any further...

This is definitely the best photo gallery! Easy to use, works perfect, excellent design. I like integration with Picasa, that make gallery management even more easy and fast, especially when you have quite many photos.
Hello,



The coders have done a very good work for this extension.



Working on a site for caritative association, I did not test the selling options and would rather sell with virtuemart anyway.



The choice for page display of pictures is good with three layouts but none of them is perfect.



It still works and integrates in quite a charm.



Best regards

Wonderful component

It works.

Modern.

Easy to install, understand, configure.

The support is very quick.

…just beautiful!



Excellent Job !



Thanks Sven Blüge!
After trying many types of galleries I found and decided to try this one, but expected nothing great. My mistake. First of all this one is impressed, easy to configure, plus something what's great and very important to me - very quick and serious support from author side - usually I had to wait for response a few minutes. Keep on this way! :)
So, I only normally review components on here when the support really blows me away (and this is no different) but it really does deserve 5 stars for the component alone!



EventGallery is sleek, flashy, flexible and extremely fast to use, which is exactly what I was looking for in a gallery component. By way of example - when we showed our new site off to our client, they *couldn't stop* using the gallery, flicking from image to image and wondering at how it cropped and resized images to fit the thumbnail view. Needless to say, they were impressed!



Finally, Sven's support was great as well! His English was great, he was knowledgeable but also quite personable and happy to help, and he was even faster than me to reply, and it was my project!



Thanks for a great product, Sven - I definitely will use it again!

absolutely fan-ta-stic!
