Good Solid Extension, Excellent Support



Posted on 28 January 2011
I have been pleasantly surprised by this extension. It is basically very similar to Phoca Gallery but in my opinion better and simpler.



Since JPhoto charge £20 for their rubbish these guys could easily charge since their component a) works, b)has some advanced functionality like the ability to recreate all your thumbnails when you change your settings and lastly the support is excellent.



I wrote and resolved my issue within the hour- very good indeed.



The only reason I give it 4 stars rather than 5 is that it doesn't look very nice- and it is a gallery after all- but at least the output is modern and easily stylable.



Good work, and amazing for free.

This is An Excellent Joomla Component!!

I have just installed JoomGallery on my site and have uploaded a couple of photos, but have tried the demo on their site, and would like to say that this is one of the best Joomla components I've used. The layout/design looks great and it is very user-friendly. I recommend it to others as an excellent addition to their sites, and can't believe it's a free extension with many great features. Thank you very much JoomGallery, you've done a wonderful job!!! :)

Absolutely stunning

This extension is impressive, hard to believe it's free because it is actually better than any other even paid for gallery. It's many features and it's not hard to set it up, although it might seem at the first impression. One has to play with it a little to find how everything works - but it really works. The BEST gallery on net!

Impressive

Highly configurable. The only thing that annoyed me was that I would need a module to get JComment to work with this application.

The component is well written, so it was easy to implement native JComment support in this component. Right now I don't need the module anymore.

I tried phoca and I have to say, it felt a bit 'hard' compared to this component. The Zip-upload is a nice feature that's missing in a lot of other apps.



The code is inspiring to see... well written, well thought out. Just what we needed: the component currently suits my every need.

Absolutely Superb!

First of all... this is free? This is an incredibly well done, well organized, easy to use, feature rich photo gallery component. Best photo gallery component I've ever used. Thank you!



Best Regards,

YOU ROCKZOR MY SITEZOR!!!!

I have been trying a few different gallery plugins, and yours is the first one, that does EVERYTHING I want!



It does take some tweaking to get the layout right, but it has the options to make it all work, with good information provided, and loads of features.



The key for me was the front end ability to allow a person to upload to a gallery of their own without special permissions! Or to FTP the files!



Quite clearly one of the best gallery solutions for Joomla on the planet.



Well done for the design and thought that went into it!



If you are looking for a great gallery - this is the one for you!

Awesome for gallery!

Have been useing JoomGallery for quite some time now, and finally I have nothing to complain about.

Clearly the best gallery module for Joomla and should be an Editors pick as well!



Easy to install. Lots (!) of functions and configuration options, but also works perfectly "out of the box".

My highest reccomendations!

So Good

It increased visit length on my social website by 200%. I just wish there was a way to notify when a user tags another user on the photo. Very cool, though. And it's free! I donated.

Amazing!!

Thanks. I looking for while now.



I spend for long time. but Today I found!!

Best image component by far



Posted on 01 November 2010
Images make up about 95% of my site's content or more, so naturally I have tried all of the more feature-rich Joomla galleries available. I have found this one to be the best. It's easily customizable & has tons of configuration options. It's easy to organize images with subcategories and categories, the links can be made SEF, easy integration with jcomments... the list goes on. I also asked for support in the forum once and received a fast response.



The only issue I've encountered is that the pages make a LOT of mysql queries; combined with the other queries on my pages, some pages are making 80-100 queries (and yes, I've checked that the majority are from Joomgallery). So if you have hundreds to thousands of images and several thousand visitors a day, the number of queries may become a problem, as they have for me. But my solution was to re-code some of the gallery pages myself to be specific for my site. My pages now make 1/8th of the queries, but I still get to enjoy all the wonderful benefits of JoomGallery :)
