Simply the best

I have been using this photogallery for some time and deployed it on a number of Joomla! sites without a hiccup. Can't fault it. Installs easily, runs well - can't ask for more.
I do like the features but there are con's that outweight the great featurelist.



There is absolutely no support. Not that I've seen anyway. Slideshow is not cached which drains server resources.



If there was decent support I'd recomment this to anyone but as with many open source, non commercial software the lack of support is my main reason to abandon this gallery.



Also the rate of development is very slow to non-existent.



Take this as it is, or (like me) leave it....

Superb

Excellent gallery component. Possibly slightly complicated for my needs but that's not a criticism. Lots of options.

Great gallery

This is just what I was looking for! A great looking gallery which is really easy to use for my customers. Thanks JoomGallery! Strange that this is free, if it would cost a few bucks I would gladly pay for it!
I just retrieved reset my forgotten password just to write a review for this module...The module is exceptionally good...very easy for users to understand the functionality without any documentation...Thumbs Up for this module...

Excellent! Brilliant!!

I only registered to submit a review for this component, i'm THAT motivated!

After almost 2 years of search for a script/extension/you name it , to create a custom covers site i found the PERFECT one.

It is really easy to install , it has configuration for just about ANYTHING , a wide range of possibilities and works flawlessly in my 10.000 unique guests monthly site.

I can't really believe this software is free.. its exactly what i wanted.

Only thing i haven't figured out and i need some help on it, is if i can have a gallery slideshow with some selected pictures (like promote some pictures) . Other than that its PERFECT i 100% recommend it
JoomGallery was extremely easy to install and offered the integrated, full featured, photo gallery I was looking for. I was amazed at how many configuration options were available.



Some configurations took more time to figure out what they affected than others, and, being completely new to the software, it seemed to me that a couple of settings had to be changed in two places and I wasn't sure why, although they were not hard to find.



One item that was not obvious, and undocumented, was how to change the display name of the Gallery page, which needs to be edited in the global Joomla language file. That information was gleaned from the forum pages, and is new with the introduction of Joomla 1.5.



I'm ecstatic about this component, and highly recommend it!

Admirable Job!

This is definitely the most complete Joomla Photo Gallery component I tried!



It has a lot of parameter! Really! But you can't do without any one of it! Everyone is worth, because they let you manage the gallery at various levels.



Besides, this extension updates itself with a simple click on a link in the backend! Amazing!!! I would like that Joomla core had a link like that to update so quickly!



I know that i'm forgetting something else great that I note about it.



Anyway..



Great developer. Thanks for it.

count me another fan!

This extension is absolutely awesome -- installs without any grief, gives you all kinds of ways to get your pics online, including FTP if you have a lot of them -- so easy to use! There are a lot of config options so it does take a little while to get it set and displaying just the way you want, but it's definitely worth spending the time. You can even edit the CSS file right in the interface, if you just need to make a quick change, or edit in your own editor and upload -- no attitude problem from the software either way, or you can go with the default settings, it's fairly slick. This might be the best photo gallery I've ever tried, both of the CMS-extension and stand-alone variety -- just unbelievably good.

Awesome Photo Gallery

I was specifically looking for a nice looking photo gallery that allowed special members to upload photos from the front end and this module was exactly what I was looking for. There are many configuration options to customize how you want to display your gallery and I managed to get the look I wanted in minutes. This is an excellent photo gallery module. Highly recommend it!
