Simple Image Gallery

galleries inside your articles (content items) is super-easy and simple with the "Simple Image Gallery PRO" Plugin. In this example all images existing in the folder "gandy" will be "automagically" presented as an image gallery, with stylish shadows on each thumbnail and "lightbox" popups to display the original images (when the user clicks on a thumbnail)! The thumbnails are generated on the fly using PHP (but cached to improve performance), which means that the original images are resized and resampled, too! All of this is done inside a WSYSIWYG editor with one small code line wherever you want the gallery to display.

Example: Dr. Gandy's Undersea Adventure
{gallery}gandy{/gallery}

So, now...

  1. You don't need to have an additional gallery component to display a few images,
  2. You don't need to tell your visitors "to see our photos from Paris click here"
  3. You focus more on content writing and less on managing the images! The plugin is ideal, in example, for news portals wanting to display some images inside their articles. The potential of this plugin is actually only limited by your imagination!

Column Headers

Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

  • #. An indexing number automatically assigned by Joomla! for ease of reference.

  • Checkbox. Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.

  • Name. The name of the Banner. You can click on the name to open the Banner for editing.

  • Client. The Client for this Banner. Clients are entered using the Banner Client Manager.

  • Category. The Category this item belongs to. Clicking on the Category title opens the Category for editing. See Category Manager - Edit . Note that Banner Categories are separate from other Categories, such as those for Articles, Contacts, Newsfeeds, and Web Links.

  • Published. Whether the item has been published or not. You can change the Published state by clicking on the icon in this column.

  • Order. The order to display items. You can change the order by entering the sequential order and clicking the 'Save Order' icon in the column heading.

  • Sticky. Whether or not the Banner is 'sticky'. If one or more Banners in a Category are sticky, they will take priority over Banners that are not sticky. For example, if two Banners in a Category are sticky and a third Banner is not sticky, the third Banner will not display if the module setting is 'Sticky, Randomize'. Only the two sticky Banners will display.

  • Impressions. The Impression count is the number of times the Banner has been displayed on a page. The first number in this column is the actual number of Impressions so far, and the second number is how many Impressions were purchased by the client.

  • Clicks. The first number is the total number of clicks that have been made on the Banner since the counter was reset. The second number is what percentage of the time user clicked on the banner when it was displayed.

  • Tags. Optional Tags to be used for displaying specific Banners based on the content of the Article being viewed. If the Banner module Parameter 'Search By Tag' is set to 'Yes', Banners whose Tags match the Keywords entered for each Article will display when that Article is being viewed.

  • ID. The ID number. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, for example in internal links. You can not change this number.

  • Display #. The number of items to display on one page. If there are more items than this number, you can use the page navigation buttons (Start, Prev, Next, End, and page numbers) to navigate between pages. Note that if you have a large number of items, it may be helpful to use the Filter options, located above the column headings, to limit which items display.

Toolbar

  • Publish. To publish one or more items, select them and click on this button.

  • Unpublish. To unpublish one or more items, select them and click on this button.

  • Delete. To delete one or more items, select them and click this button. The selected items will be deleted.

    • Track Banner Impression Times. Whether or not to count how many times a Banner is displayed.

    • Track Banner Click Times. Whether or not to count how many times a Banner is clicked.

  • Help. Opens this Help Screen.

Clients and Categories Links

List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items by typing part of the title or the ID number. You can also select a combination of Category and Published State.

  • Filter. In the upper left corner just above the column headings is a Filter field and two buttons, as shown below:

    If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Go' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Filter by Category and Published State

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are two drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching both selections will display in the list.

    Select Category. Use the drop-down list box to select the desired Category. Only items in this Category will display. You may also select 'Uncategorized'.

Control the Appearance

Its appearance is designed to be easily customized by the user. You can set the primary, secondary and tertiary colors for modules and other content for exact automatic site-wide styling, with override capabilities if so desired. We have included 10 ready-made styles to start with. The background can be image, color, or gradient. It can change randomly or it can change according to a number of specified criteria. Our demo starts in grey/black, with a template changer on the home page so you can sample the pre-made styles. There are 32 module positions on the page, all collapsible if not used. This allows for absolute Corporate Identity Branding by the user at a fraction of the cost of “from scratch” development.

 
Quick Deployment

Built into the website is a section of instructions on how to use these features plus actual examples of them in use to aid you in rapid deployment of site content. You provide the words, the photos, the audio/video/swf…etc, and have it online in minutes as part of a SEF (search-engine-friendly) AJAX searchable Web portal. All of the effects, zooms, thumbnails and previews (You know – the really cool stuff) is auto-generated by the website itself, based upon your option choices for each piece of content that you want to add. This content can even be from somewhere else on the internet.The home page displays the site content in seven different places. You can enable/disable each of them, move them to different module positions, and even point them to different sections and categories. If a content article has one or more pictures in it, the first picture (regardless of size or format) is the one automatically selected and resized for the module requirements of image and thumbnail sizes.
Photo Galleries

 CMSgalleries.jpg Our choices for photo gallery options will amaze you, both by their professional appearance and by their ease of operation. Some of them will remind you of the ones on the Discovery Channel website, FOX News or the New York Times.
