easy to install, easy to manage .... just like taking a picture... 1,2,3 say cheese!!!!
I tried to translate this component, but found that it can't pick up the correct language file according to the site language settings. Even when I checked the preferences of this component, I found that my new translation was not included in the language list!



Hope the author use .ini file format for language files instead of php format. This is the standard format for Joomla! 1.5 native extensions.



Second problem is, when I tried to create a new menu item of this component and save it, it can't be saved in IE7 browser. I was forced to change to FireFox browser and then I can save it. I hate been compelled to use FireFox!!
Owner's reply: I have added .ini language translation to the feature list. At the moment the php translations work fine. Any extra translations can be included by simply putting the language file name into the config.xml file.

The component also works fine with Internet Explorer. Out of 1500 downloads this is the only user that has complained with and Internet Explorer Issue. However the user is convinced the component has the error, not themself, and has chosen to complain here, instead of following the issue up in the support forum, where I am happy to help with.

Very good

Hi



Very good extension.



Beware: you have to work only with .jpg files. I scratched my head for some hours before realizing this because uploaded .png files and was very angry not seeing in action this component in my site. It looks beautiful.
Owner's reply: I am planning on fixing the PNG bug in next couple of days. JPEG and GIF are ok.

Absolutely brilliant
