I am currenlty replacing my coppermine gallery with Joom Gallery. This means I don't have to have a wrapper and lig in seperately. Also there's no space overhead.



Thanks for a great product.

:D

Never miss this excellent soft.!

I spent countless tried,upload and removed many PICS soft, trust me. this is the best one.

Dont waste time like I was, just download and use it,the only and best free choice.

So much better than others

I've run through many galleries and this is the perfect balance between simplicity and customization. Great Job!!

One thing though - can't figure out how to make the voting work in category view:( I wrote on JoomGallery Forum but haven't recieved an answer yet:(. Maby anyone could help me?? Please

Text editor for each image



Posted on 02 November 2011
Guess it is the ONLY gallery with separate text editor for each image - tested almost every gallery - few has well done text options. Make no mistake - it is REALLY huge ! You can play with settings for weeks :o) "Level of difficulty" = MAX. Want extensive options - expect a huge Admin. Wish I could throw a link to my "makeover" edition.....was a challenge to change it, but joomgallery is well programmed. Really waited for JoomGallery 1.7 edition ! OUTSTANDING work - and for free.....

the best gallery for joomla 1.7 - review by denNISI



Posted on 28 October 2011
i want to personally commend the joomgallery team for the best extension for a gallery on joomla. integrates seamlessly into templates. the component is extremely light and offers way too many options and views... for free. here is a quick step by step guide:



1. install component using joomla's extension manager.

2. configure endless options and the directories for images next in the component's configuration.

3. link the gallery

4. create a category

5. upload an image



and bam. there it is... bitte sehr dream team!

By far the most comprehensive gallery.

I've used this for a photographic club Joomla site that has a regular membership of 14-20 people but I imagine it could handle unlimited users.

Install is easy but the holy grail is the extensive configuration possibilities without it being too teccie. Tool tips are as clear as can be and the tab layout at the back end easy to get used to.

This is the fourth piece of gallery software I have tried over time and the only one I will use for the foreseeable future. I found it bug free and running as smooth as the rest of the site. I particularly like the way it lays over your template background, almost chameleon like which saves hacking the CSS.

So far I've had three site users email me with high appraisal at how easy JoomGallery is to navigate and how well it looks in a 3 column 4 tier category layout. The slimbox (shadowbox) which is built in works flawlessly from the go which when you consider configuring a shadowbox alone can be a nightmare is a welcome touch when packaged with JoomGallery.

I've only had to ask one support question which was answered very very quickly by Chraneco over at JoomGallery forums (does he ever sleep?) My support Q wasn't a buggy one but simply disabling something in front end view which I'd overlooked in the background, an easy one once you open your eyes a little more.



I'm now going to be using JoomGallery on my personal photography site I find it that manageable and configurable without the headache similar modules and components come with.



Well done to everyone involved in this project. Simply awesome.

Great work, great component!

This is THE gallery component for any website using Community Builder. It has everything! There are lots of settings (which is GOOD!) and they are explained in detail (which is GREAT!) Please keep up the good work, hope to see JoomGallery as soon as possible J1.7 compatible! Thank you for your work, I will try to support you in any way!!!

Simple, free, powerful

Exactly what a gallery component needs to meet the needs of an advanced web designer, in my opinion. Warm regards!

Nice and advanced gallery

The best part of this gallery is pictures upload possibility. You can do this for many ways and choose the best one for you. It has also many other useful options. But it should contain JoomMultiSlimbox in installation package or there should be a warning in administration to install plugin if you are using Mootools 1.2 because you can get confused why SlimBox is not working.

Love it!

Very clean look. I love the ability to upload from the frontend which works perfectly for my user Gallery. Very useful features.
