Set up of the app was easy and straight forward. Help from Matt was excellent. The app runs now in an iframe environment as a facebook app. The Facebook scripts work perfect.
This is an intuitive and easy to use gallery, it is well designed, well developed, and it simply works beautifully. Matt and Simon go out of their way provide helpful and timely support. I would not use any other!
A gallery simple to use and very complete. It lacks a couple of things: management template, css, several slideshows.

But it remains, in my opinion the best gallery in Joomla.
I'm not much of a review person, but this one gets a top review from me. What a fine extension that installed easy and is very well laid out. Has many options available to show your gallery. I will never need another gallery product for sure. Oh ya the support is great. They say Mon-Fri, ha they work the weekends like most of us! Thanks for this product!
Great product, well worth the money for any image intensive website. Had a couple of compatibility issues, and my emails to support were answered within hours with right-on solutions.

Worth Every Penny!

This has been one of the best photo gallery extensions I've used. One of the reasons I like it so much is how easy it is to setup and also how easy it is for a client with little computer skills to manage! Some of the other extensions are a nightmare to manage photos, but ignite gallery gives you so many choices and options, yet lays out the photo management section so intuitively. A definite recommend & super user friendly!

Very Good Extension

This truly is a very high quality extension. I have used it to great effect in a community art and craft site. The extension has made it very easy for front end users to upload and manage their own "artist profiles". Most of my users have been able to initiate and maintain their own profiles without any administrative help, other that a few simple instructions on my site's FAQs page.



The beauty of the product is it can automatically resize uploaded images into pre-determined sizes. It also allows for easy categorization of images, in my case "art", "craft" and "youth art". These categories can then have their own sub-categories. The multiple upload function also makes it very easy to process many images at once.



The control and flexibility that the user has over the presentation of images, made it ideal for my application. Features such as the 'facebook like" button and the integration with the comments systems, really help to promote the site.



The watermarking feature is also a plus, especially for art / photography based websites.



I tried many other galleries before finding Ignite Gallery. This one was by far the best - worth every cent.



THANK YOU!

Money well spent!

Excellent product, lots of controls and speedy support. Worth every penny!
I've installed many gallery components for clients over the years. Ignite Gallery is by far the best. Works fine with the default settings but offers plenty of customization options if you want to spend the time.

Best feature is the ability to throttle photo uploads for clue-less clients. Can be set to re-size huge photos client-side prior to site upload. Works fast and saves a huge amount of server storage space.

Did have a problem with front-end photo management but didn't pursue to resolution since the client did not require this feature. Seems to be a jQuery conflict.
