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.

www.earthlyphotos.com and www.firetruckworld.com

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?
