Ok, I bought this and had it working in minutes. Plus ran into a problem with SEOing it and the great developer Matt, kept his word and in 1 week upgraded this component for ALL OF US to work better with SEO urls!



THIS IS THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN FOLKS! Get is before he ups the price!!
I just bought yesterday, and its awesome. Easy to setup, works as advertised. I had a few suggestions and feature request to the developer, he replied within hours. Im happy to support his work as a buyer.

Great extension

Ignite Gallery is an A+ extension. Customization was easy, and it works right out of the box. Uploading pictures was simple through Ignites admin interface, including a batch of photos, plus descriptions and management are nice and simple.



On the front end, the presentation and navigation of images is top notch, works great, looks great, and is simple and intuitive.



I HIGHLY recommend this extension, well worth the $10 for purchase.

Great Image Gallery

This does exactly what is says. I had it running in less than 2 minutes from purchase. Well worth the $10 to buy it. It has lots of great and easy to follow features. I have used other galleries over the years, but since I went to 1.5, this is the BEST I have found.



2 thumbs way up!

This component is awesome. If you are looking for a simplistic gallery this is for you. Very affordable 10 bucks for 3 month membership. Has tons of options and great support. Also has so much potential the developer is going to make categories and sub categories and a commenting system. Support the developer and sign up. You will not be dissapointed.
Owner's reply: Please note: the extension does not have a time limit on how long it works, and there is no time limit on support. The 3 month limit is a limit on how long updates/ new versions can be downloaded after the original purchase.
If you are a after a quick, easy no hassles image gallery than this is for you. Apart from being quick and easy, the support I have received off Matt has been of a 6 star rating. Matt is more than helpful with his answers, and I have never had to wait for a reply to my emails. I am a person that when I find a good thing I stick to it and shall be a customer for life. I am looking forward to his next version and watching this guy make a name for himself....well done Matt!
This is the BEST image gallery for Joomla.

I tried installing joomgallery and fumbled with it for more than an hour then gave up and found this one. It is elegant, it is easy to configure, it is easy for a non technical person to use, it is greatly customizable, it is perfect. joomgallery is free..yes. but wasting over an hour of my time and frustration was WELL worth the $10 it cost for this. Trust me. I am a long time Joomla user and I have never been as impressed with a component as I have been with this one. Customer support by the developer is INCREDIBLE. That almost beats functionality in my book and he delivers. He actually delivers more than he should.. Cheers to Matt. His support was helpful, prompt, and accurate. What more could you ask for??
I try a lot of other gallery components before. Some are to oversized, others are to small or still buggy. With Ignite Gallery I'm getting happy now. Easy to install and configure, good features for customize the gallery-style in the frontend. Thanks for it!

Excellent customer service

I had a bit of a problem installing the extension. I contacted Matt three times and was helped within 24 hours. Recommended.
I've been looking to replace Gallery2+Bridge to use a native gallery manager. I bought Ignite after reading reviews and becoming very frustrated with alternatives. What Ignite does, it does well. It seems very stable and promises to have a great future.



What it does is: display images with a JS navigator beneath. It doesn't really do anything else but if this meets your needs then I highly recommend this extension.



Here are some things it doesn't do: it is fairly difficult to manage large images. I've given up and now use it to display albums of small images. You must edit titles one by one. Yuck if you have lots of images. Also, you must re-order with Joomla's administrator back-end. There is no JS drag-and-drop re-ordering here, so you really have to work hard to upload images in approximately the order you want them to appear in your album. Most important for me, there is no support for ACL. If you allow public access to your menu page, then all albums and all photos are available for public display. I have asked and there is no plan to support ACL at all, let alone on a per-image basis.



At this moment, I plan to keep Ignite and install a 2nd album manager to handle albums with large images for members only. I wish that Ignite solved the full problem but not yet.
