Today I literally spent the entire day on the computer. For some people that might not be too amazing but since I do computer support all week, I tend to avoid the computer in my free time as much as possible. However, I just got “in the zone” and ended up knocking off a couple of items from my To Do List. Not only did I try out new shopping cart software for my site, I also needed to update my husband's website with a photo gallery.
Let me tell you, if you use Joomla for your website and need a a photo gallery component, you've got to try JoomGallery! I was astounded at how extremely easy it was to install and how many configuration options were available. It offered the integrated, full featured, photo gallery I was looking for.
Some configurations took more time to figure out what they affected than others, and, being completely new to the software, it seemed to me that a couple of settings had to be changed in two places and I wasn't sure why, although they were not hard to find.
One item that was not obvious, and undocumented, was how to change the display name of the Gallery page, which needs to be edited in the global Joomla language file. That information was gleaned from the forum pages, and is new with the introduction of Joomla 1.5.
I'm ecstatic about this component, and highly recommend it!
I’ll reserve my judgment on the shopping cart software until I’ve had time to populate it with data and test it. So, more to come…
