Just install, choice the image folder you want to be the gallery and select a module position. The thumbnails are made and cached automaticly. There is four different ways to show your thumbnails and almost every aspect of the photo gallery is customazible.
This joomla gallery works on all important platforms, including iPhone, iPad and Android mobile phones.
Requirements:
GD Library (used by the thumbnail generation)
Do I have GD Library?
Log in to the joomla administration panel (www.yoursite.com/administrator) and click on the "System Info" under "Help". Now click on "Php information" and scroll down to "gd". Look at "GD Support", it should be set to "enable". If this is the case, you won't have any problem.
Install:
This module install just as any other joomla module. Log in to your joomla administration panel and click on "Install/Uninstall" under "Extensions". Choice the zip-file and click on "Upload File & Install".
Voila! The Photoon Gallery Module component is installed.
Special configuration:
If you need individual image description you just put a textfile with the text you want in the same folder as the image with the same name. Example: "image_123.jpg" shows the description of the file "image_123.txt".
If you need to clean the thumbnails cache and regenerate thumbnails just log in to your joomla site with the admin account and go to the page with the photoon gallery and press the "clean thumbnail cache" button.
