Joomla Photo Gallery Component Review: RSGallery2: Awesome
Several recent clients needed a photo gallery for Joomla. Their requirements, as usual, were that it be easy to use. One would assume that a Joomla photo gallery would be easy to use, but my experience with Joomla photo galleries tells me that is not the case. They are often difficult to install and confusing for the client to use.
Lucky for me, I found RSGallery2, a free Photo Gallery component for Joomla. The price is right, but does it have the features you would expect in a photo gallery?
The following is a list of RSGallery2 features:
- VERY easy to install
- VERY easy to use
- Can bulk upload of a zip file of images (this feature is AWESOME and saves a great deal of time)
- Very easy to manage image galleries
- Easy to configure
- Automatic thumbnail creation and sizing (configurable)
- Automatic image resizing (configurable)
- User comments and voting
- Front-end users can create their own galleries and upload their own images (configurable)
- Automatic image branding and watermarking (configurable)
- Image search
- Image download link
- Ability to display random images
- Ability to display latest images
- And the list goes on
Most important, though, for ME and for my clients, is that RSGaller2 is easy to install, configure, and use. In addition, the default gallery display looks very nice.
I give this Joomla Photo Gallery Component 5 stars.
