Oh my god, so many congratulations, the best joomla photo gallery, with no doubts!!



I have searched for a gallery that fits my needs, then I follow a link to a gallery that I don´t recognize the name. When I viewed the features I decided to install, then I was stupid, so great, so many many many features and very configurable!



Another Joomgallery addicted :)



Cheers!

Best but not perfect

This is the best free gallery for Joomla! but need some improvement.

There is not possible to attach the same picture to different categories. So, if you want one picture for example in 3 categories, you need to upload it 3 times. :(
Owner's reply: Thank you.
You have not to upload 3 times the same picture to refrence it in 3 categories. Have a look at Picture manager->New

Brilliant Free Gallery

My sites are such that there is a central gallery with public categories and members-only categories. And users need a simple front-end mechanism for uploads, edits, and comments.



JoomGallery has been the answer since Day #1 when it was but a release candidate. Would a fancy Java-based front-end upload screen be nice? Sure. But the extension is free. And each user has access to a nice panel with all his or her photos that he or she can add descriptions and titles to later.



And JComments fits in real nicely.

Great Gallery Extension



Posted on 01 May 2009
Installed flawlessly and up and running in no time. Easy to figure out and works perfect for me. Users can add/ edit photos no problem, all around fantastic extension.



Highly recommended.



Users that are complaining of IE6 woes (no problem here) fail to realize that IE6 is outdated and has been replaced... twice, by IE7 and now IE8. Any that are foolish enough to still be using IE6 are asking for considerable problems security wise and rendering websites correctly. I add an IE6 warning to my sites that explains the problem and links to update IE.
I found this extension very easy to install and configure. I had a full featured gallery (with user uploads) in about 5 - 10 minutes.

ie6 problem



Posted on 28 April 2009
While the gallery is an excellent plugin the ie6 css problem slightly disappointing.

The fix I figured with the ja_purity template is to include a css selector and then



.ie6 .jg_row {

overflow:hidden;

height:auto;

width:99%;

margin:0em;

}



while with this fix there will be a little space on the right. IE6 tend to drop below the layers when it owerflows in with (even known it shouldnt, because 100% is just as it says, full width but not more than that)
I have had JoomGallery for some time now. Overall yes it looks a nice extension. However, myself and several other users have expressed a problem with the detail view when viewed in Internet Explorer.

I have posted numerous times on the support forum, as have others, but this subject just gets ignored. Why? Is it a bug? Once again, a great looking extension ruined by support. I so wanted to give this five stars, but if a problem keeps cropping up, and it is ignored, that must say something. Sorry guys...

It's Ok, but...

Great work, great extension, but it's not supporting cyrilic... And I'm finding out that tooooooooo late!
This Gallery is everything it says it is on the box and more! The default demo link above doesn't do it justice! You can make it look however you want, and it integrates with the standard J1.5 Mootools library, so no conflicts with Joomla.



The configuration is a bit overwhelming when you click on it for the first time, but it just gives you so many options and layout, you can't ask for anything better! The upload is a breeze, and has several options including images in a zip, single images, a javascript upload as well as FTP upload that let's you choose the files in a category from a specified FTP folder on your server. There's custom titles and descriptions as well as options for voting and comments! Or turn it all off and make a clean thumbnail gallery with slimbox for a stripped down version that's easy on the eye!



I recently tried another free gallery component on a client's site, and I think I'm going to go back and switch to this one for him too! This thing just ROCKS!



I will definitely be keeping this one in the 'heavily used' folder of must have components!



Thanks so much to the developers for your time and commitment to making such a wonderful GPL component!



I love Joomla! And I just met JoomGallery, but I think I love it too! lol. Thanks again!

The best gallery



Posted on 10 April 2009
I needed a simple gallery to enable users upload pictures. Tried Phoca but it's upload function didn't work.

Two minutes after installing JoomGallery the upload function is ready, WORKING.

Many thanks for the JGallery Team!!!
