Gallery with the best administration



Posted on 11 November 2020
Functionality
The component comes with a huge amount of settings and features. Even after years of using it I am able to find new interesting features.
Ease of use
It takes time to get an overview of all parameters and their effects. But after you have a component with seemingly endless possibilities...
Support
Component has a support forum, where you can reach for help. The community seems strong and helps you with your problem.
Documentation
I used this to: Extensive galeries with or without download or sell functionality.

Very very impressive!

Very awesome, there is really everything you can ask for at an image gallery!
Ease of use
It is a very complex component but everything is explained clearly and in numerous languages!
Support
I have not yet had the pleasure of testing the new forum, but the documentation makes it almost superfluous
Documentation
Extraordinary and well-made documentation, very detailed and accompanied by images
I used this to: For an information/news site of a very very prolific Italian association

The best component for images in Joomla!

Posted on 07 December 2019
Functionality
All required functions are available and easy to use.
I really love the drag 'n drop upload as this allows easy batch image upload.
Ease of use
Although there are many parameters to adjust the gallery it is fairly simple to get up and running. The default parameters are useful and oi
Support
Excellent support through the project website. I was provided with a migration script that fitted all my requirements.
Documentation
Very useful documentation on the project website.
All open question were answewred reading the manualö on the website and using the forum
I used this to: Several hobby websites to enable club members etc. to upload their photos from events etc.
I was using the ICEGallery before which also was a great gallery but unfortunately there is no more support and updates so most like likely Joomla4 will kill this gallery.

My One and Only!

For my two photography sites it is exactly what I needed and has been ever since starting with Joomla 1.5. Now with 3.9, is still the King
Ease of use
The configuration was simple. Tons of options and was up and running quickly.
Support
My sites weren't in order when I migrated to 3X. Support quickly responded and saved the day before I had even finished my nap. The Best!
Documentation
Did not need to use it
I used this to: Complete organization of my two Travel Photography sites, loaded with thousands of travel images, histories and descriptions. Have used JoomGallery for a decade, and now entering decade number two . Works perfect for me.

Doesn't install - no support answer



Posted on 13 November 2017
Functionality
Zero. The component won't install for whatever reason. It says something from invalid syntax, no idea what the reason is.
Ease of use
I can't use it cause it won't install. Because of the lack of alternatives we finally had to switch to Wordpress and rebuild the site.
Support
Absolute zero. I posted multiple times in both German and english forum, I offered a donation for a support answer - nothing.
Documentation
We only had the installation issue and except some forum users with the same issue and no solution, there was no documentantion for this.
I used this to: Had it worked, we would have boght the pro version and we would have used it as a discussion module for our forthcoming magazine cover images. I understand it's free with reduced support, but there was really nothing. Sorry for the bad rating, but what else should I do?
