Simple Image Gallery PRO: Joomla! image galleries redefined!
Tuesday, 22 January 2008
Simple Image Gallery PRO NEW VERSION 2.5 just released! Now Joomla! 1.5 - 2.5 compatible!

Adding image galleries inside your Joomla! articles has never been easier!

Using the "Simple Image Gallery PRO" plugin from JoomlaWorks you can quickly display a folder of images within Joomla! as a stylish image gallery within any article.

Use for example {gallery}myphotos{/gallery} inside the article in which you want to display an image gallery of photos uploaded to the folder "myphotos". The plugin will then "automagically" present this folder as an image gallery, in a stylish thumbnail grid with "lightbox" popups to showcase the original images, when users click on the thumbnails!

You can also add nice captions (labels) to your images, like you would with a gallery component.

Check out the demo we prepared, showcasing multiple galleries with different layouts on the same page.

a) you don't need to have an additional gallery component to display your images and/or redirect your visitors elsewhere, as the galleries integrate with your Joomla! articles, VIrtuemart products, K2 items and any other component that allows "plugin parsing".
b) you focus more on content writing and less on managing the images!
c) you don't have to worry about upgrades, simply uninstall any old version of the plugin, install the new one and your galleries will inherit all new features!

FEATURES

  • Fully configurable thumbnails: Adjust the default width and height, set the thumbnail quality. You can even have different galleries displayed with thumbnails of different dimensions on the same page!
  • Captions in your galleries: Upload your images into Joomla! and edit the auto-generated .txt files that are generated per gallery. Your captions are divided in titles and descriptions, so you can use a short title in the thumbnails and more text (and even HTML) in the descriptions shown in the popups.
  • Now with full Joom!Fish support: for captions in multiple languages!
  • Smart thumbnail resize: If enabled, thumbnails are resized to fit the thumbnail viewport as set in the plugin parameters. This option is ideal when you want to display images of different aspect ratio in thumbnails of the same dimensions.
  • 6 amazing gallery layouts (themes), including the new CSS3 based "Polaroids" (for supporting browsers) and the JavaScript enhanced "Galleria" which transforms your gallery to a slideshow.
  • Gallery layouts are based on MVC architecture, which means you can fully override all gallery layouts (both HTML and CSS) to match your needs - and without caring about future updates of the plugin breaking your unique gallery layout!
  • 9 popup engines, based on different JavaScript libraries or just core JavaScript - ensures you won't be faced with nasty JavaScript conflicts caused by other poorly written Joomla! extensions.
  • Flickr Sets integration: Probably the easiest way to embed a Flickr set of images... Just paste the set URL within the plugin's {gallery} tags like this: {gallery}http://www.flickr.com/photos/joomlaworks/sets/72157626907305094/{/gallery} - Yes, that's it! This option makes Flickr Set embedding more practical as well, since your galleries are created with HTML/CSS and therefore are accessible by mobile devices like iPhones, iPads and Android devices.
  • Single thumbnail mode: only one thumbnail shows up in place of your normal gallery but once you click on it, you can browse though the entire source gallery folder! This mode is ideal for powerpoint-like presentations.
  • Large images can be HTML resized in the popup window (under certain popup engines), when their dimensions exceed the ones of the browser window.
  • Allow source image downloading: want your visitors to download the original images you uploaded? Just turn on the related plugin parameter and your visitors will see a download link the gallery popups.
  • Embed a module position in the popups: wanna serve banners in all your popup images? Just include a module position which fetches banners from some banner module and let Simple Image Gallery Pro do the rest!
  • Print stylesheet: A "print" stylesheet makes sure your galleries won't look messed up when visitors print your articles (cause browsers don't render background images when printing). Simple Image Gallery Pro hides all your galleries and puts an anchor link in place, when printing a page with galleries on it. So your visitors have a point of reference for their galleries and if they print your pages as PDFs, the get working links to click on when they view the PDF file!
  • Version 2.5.x puts additional focus into performance by fully using the Joomla! API to attach the various CSS and JS files required for the galleries. This makes it possible to use some of the many "compression" plugins in the JED to "mashup" all these files in just 1 CSS and 1 JS file. More over, the thumbnail creation engine is written from the ground up to consume the least possible resources from your server, making Simple Image Gallery Pro "shared hosting" friendly too!
  • Fully integrates with K2, the popular content component for Joomla!.
  • Mobile device friendly: tested on iPads, iPhones and Android devices.
  • Advanced features include the setting of different gallery layouts (themes) and/or popup engines per gallery on the same page!
  • New extended syntax for more flexibility. Use for example {gallery}mygallery:200:140:0:2{/gallery} to instruct the plugin to fetch the images inside the "mygallery" folder, resize them to 200px width and 140px height, display the gallery in normal (grid) mode, create and use a en-GB_labels.txt file inside the "mygallery" folder, ready for you to edit.
  • Backwards compatibility with the free version. You just uninstall the free version, install the PRO version and you're done! No need to re-edit your existing content items (articles) that previously included image galleries, inserted with the free version. If you forget to uninstall the free version, Simple Image Gallery Pro will gently remind you.
  • Requirements auto-detect: if something is not set up properly in your site or server, preventing Simple Image Gallery Pro to operate properly, the plugin can detect any limitations and notify you accordingly.
  • Compatible (native) with Joomla! 1.5 - 2.5.
