A simple Joomla gallery plugin.

Looking for a simple gallery to plug into your Joomla website? Well, here’s one I put together:



This gallery came about by amalgamating 2 pieces of work. The first piece of work is a jquery gallery created by, coffeescriptor.com. I enjoyed working with this gallery, it has a great presentation, looks good and is easy to setup. The second piece of work is Simple Image Gallery from joomlaworks.gr. I love this group’s work. Along with some serious solutions and components, they have developed many small and useful Joomla plugins that make Joomla life much easier. So 2 thumbs up to them!


The plugin is really simple and works on the same guidelines as joomlworks’s Simple Image Gallery.


  1. Install the plugin (download here gfcc ad gallery ) and enable it.
  2. Setup all the necessary settings – or you can just use the default ones.
  3. Upload the images you want in the gallery to your Joomla site – create a folder in your “images/stories” directory (i.e. animals) and upload images.
  4. Within an article you need to make a call to the gallery. This is done like this {gfccgallery}[GALLERY FOLDER CREATED ABOVE]{/gfccgallery}. Therefore, it would look like this {gfccgallery}animals{/ gfccgallery}.

That simple!

To note:

If you are already using jquery within your site you can specify the plugin to not load its own jquery framework – only need to load it once.

You are more than welcome to use the plugin. However, I will not be able to support it, but please leave any comments or feedback below – I may get around to incorporating them.

Enjoy!

    Would be great if it worked! Unfortunately installation isn't successful, there is a problem with your XML.
    Cheers
