I admit that this component is one of the best I have used. It's very user friendly and installed with no problems at all. A lot of great and useful features. I use this component for my photography website and its been a blessing. I have used other photo galleries that could never live up to the greatness that is Ignite Gallery.



I do wish there was an easier method for the ordering of specific photos within galleries. Being able to move photos around within a gallery without clicking an up arrow multiple times, or even the capability to have new photos showcased first, and not last in the slideshow would make this component simply the best.
This works very well. It has a lot of features and the rare instance I needed support, it was quick and excellent.

Impressed!

I created an account here now, just to write this review!



I'm very happy with this Gallery! Very nice software, easy to set up, but best of all: Great support!



I had a problem with output whan including a gallery inside an article and posted a quick question on their support forum with just the link to the article as the only info!



Just a few hours later I got the solution. There where some statements in my css file that f***ed it up. They told me what lines that where creating the problem and what to do to fix it!



Very well worth the 40 bucks...



Great job guys! Keep it up!
Version 2.1 installed first time, setup was simple, files and code both ordered/logical and well commented, easy to customize.. very sound support forum.. Ignite Gallery 2.5 - Bring it On..
Hands down the best photo gallery component for Joomla 1.5

I also figured out how to integrate it with JomSocial and it works perfectly!

Awesome!

This is one of my favourite slide show options of Joomla. I've done a lot of customizing to it and Matt was a great help when I needed it. Seems to work well on all browsers.
I had installed the gallery, but evidently, not the plugin. The gallery details were already entered, setup and i was puzzled why it wasn't working. I emailed Matt at support, and within minutes he had made me aware of what i forgot, and gave me links to instructions. The plugin got installed and Voila!; all worked great.



I am very pleased with the purchase, support and guidance. My day was saved.



Thank you!

No mistake - Excellent

Today I both Ignite Gallery. Not many time I am happy with component what I both. But with Ignite, very, very happy. Simple gallery, clever gallery, with many settings. And, what is for me very important, no html mistake. Its 100 % html valid. Excellent work to the finish.
The more I use this extension the more I find I can do with it. At first I found it fairly limited but as my understanding of the extension grew and with some really friendly and useful help from the support forum I have found this to be a proper powerhouse of a product an well worth the money!



Just be careful to read the documentation first tho as the most recent version does have some issues with certain PHP security systems =[ something I hope will be corrected soon tho=D
I love this viewer. It has so many options. It has galleries for your main content page and a popup Lightbox feature. It has thumbnails on the main or Lightbox viewer and the thumbnails are fully customizable. Linkable images and descriptions. Lots of choices with placement for all the options. You can add borders, resize images, slideshows, etc. It seems to load very fast as well. Totally worth the $40.



Install was very easy and I didn't have much trouble figuring out how to create new galleries and place them on my site. I'm also not a computer programmer so if I can load and operate it then anyone can. The developer is VERY responsive to support questions and the gallery also comes with a detailed guide for install and for navigating the galleries once it is running on your account.
