Works great, simple to install, and has a plethora of options. Absolutely incredible gallery system.
After years of bridging Gallery I decided to go for a native Joomla solution. After trying several of the top downloaded galleries I choose JoomGallery.



The installation and initial, basic setup is quick and fairly standard. It is in the detailed configuration and complete control you have over every aspect of the user interface and rich set of features that makes this component stand above the rest.



Also a standout is the support supplied by the developer. I had a minor issue getting my gallery to look a certain way and over the course of several days I was in communication with the developer via his support forum and he explained to me how to accomplish what I set out to do. As far as I'm concerned, this is better support than what you normally get with even commercial products.



Highly recommended.

Its Big

This image gallery pretty much does everything that one could ask for, except for taking the photos for you!



There are a huge amount of options to customize things with, practically everything can be changed around.



5 stars is not enough.

Criticism - humans made this, that is all I can say - what we are getting is way too huge to be expressing any puny pity thing in return..



Guys .. Seriously .. THANK YOU

Good complete solution

That is one of the best if not the best Joomla gallery component on this planet!

It offers a very wide range of parametering possibilities! That is a high end work from developers! Besides that! Languages files are available and great! I love the fact that it integrates flawlessly with CB.

Again! A must to have in a joomla website!

Professional from all sides!

Thank you!
I vote for this extension because of its usability at the point of a non-commercial one. Frankly speaking, the backend interface is complicated and takes time to learn how to customize its functions. Some newbies may be confused with the tabs and supporting functions. Overall, it is an excellent extension!!

5 stars

I wanted to let users upload there own pictures on my website and I thought that I will not find something like that until I came across JoomGallery. This component is simply the best gallery plug-in for Joomla,it is fully packed with all kind of features with a easy interface that allows you to configure everything there is to configure.All I want to say is thank you very much for letting us use such a great component free of charge,it is simply amazing and it works flawlessly!

Best regards

Excellent job

I couldn't be more thankful for this component. Everything works great.



Except... Everybody is promising support for 3rd party extensions, but it is always a half-support.



I am angry these days about those half-integrations.

Azrul's JomComment, Joomlapolis Community Builder, UddeIM PMS and this component... Every one of them - great stuff... But, integrations or support between them is poor, in most cases just a nice goodnight story.
this is the most advanced gallery component I've had the pleasure to use. it takes time to go through the endless configuration options but you can use it for anything from a simple gallery with large versions in lightboxes to an advanced one with ratings, comments, slideshows, favorites, integration with other components, etc. several options of pop-ups/lighboxes, several ways to upload images (up to 10 single images, batch, FTP, java), you will rarely think of a functionality that this monster doesn't support



feature request - could handle audio/video as well as currently it's impossible to find a component to handle all the 3 media types that isn't trapped in a tight unfriendly flash interface



congrats on a solid reliable application!
I've tried quite a few galleries and there are some very good ones but the options available in this one far surpass the others.

Installation was easy and so was an update to the software. I had to edit nothing to get it working just spend a bit of time learning what all the options did before going live on site.

Also has a module that shows slideshows or thumb size images…so many cool options.

Highly recommend joomgallery!



Thanks to all the developers!
