This is really a nice gallery component that is very clean, intuitive and well thought out.



Unfortunately, some of the configuration parameters simply do not work for existing categories, for example, disabling hit counts. There is no way to disable voting or control the display dimensions of images in detail view (or thumbnails for that matter).



I am a professional photographer looking for a simple gallery component with SEF links and photos with title, description and keywords that will be mirrored in the HTML meta tags. JoomGallery does not foot the bill, but should work well for most users..
i hacked this w/"Custom Properties" extension so i could have a specific tag taxonomy to tag the pictures with and it works great. it has a lot of useful features, and their forum support is good enough. it does not render perfectly in ie6 with some joomla templates.



still waiting for Cooliris-enabled search results and frontend java uploading capabilities!

Excellent Extension

I joined the Joomla site just to write this review. This extension answers most of all my concerns with having a gallery on my site. This is an exceptional extension and should be given consideration by all. The developers are well versed in programming and their Support staff immediately answered a question I had. I have paid for extensions and have not that level of support. I wish this group well and I look forward to future releases.

Excellent!

I did have an issue and after a bit of research i discovered it was an error caused by a line of code missing in the joomla .12 update, not the extension itself.



You can find the fix which is provided ny joomla here

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=416166





other then that, its been great
In my opinion this is the best gallery for Joomla!

Easy to install and customize... I give this a maximum rating!
Looks as if it should do everything I need and everybody else seems to be marking it highly (always assuming they are not sock-puppets), but gave up in frustration as I could not get it to work.



The main problem is there seems to be no documentation at all and no replies in their forum (except from other users).



Might be good for you if you have the time and patience to figure it out. I don't. There are fully-documented alternatives out there.
