Simple Image Gallery PRO: Joomla! image galleries redefined! |
|
Tuesday, 22 January 2008 |
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.
So now:
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.
