Dear Community,
Let me present to your attention
YASIG gallery :-] YASIG = Yet Another Slimbox Image Gallery YASIG is a fork of well known
'Slimbox Image Gallery Plugin for Joomla! v 1.5'that was left orphaned by its creator. It's still fast and easy to use, but its functionality is much widened and improved.
For the purpose of YASIG we used altered version of Slimbox v. 2.05, based on JQuery, enabling full customization of text strings visible on buttons.
Functions of YASIG gallery:
* Simple syntax of the plugin code.
* Textual form of gallery code.
* Optional text description to each gallery picture.
* Full control of the Author over size and order of the photos in gallery.
* Quickness.
* Low disk volume.
* Photo browsing with use of mouse.
* Photo browsing with use of keyboard (shortcuts).
* All the photo files and their descriptions are indexed for a purpose of Google engine.
As it is with every kind of content, also photo gallery is used for information exchange between:
* Author - maker of a web page and
* User - person willing to see a content created by the Author (viewer).
Processing of photos requires from Author:
1. Selection of photos, which gallery will consist.
2. Processing of photos - creation of 'normal' size photos and miniatures.
3. Loading of the photos to J! server file system.
4. Insert in choosen article of YASIG gallery code.
5. If necessary alteration of photo descriptions.
Presentation of photos as every other content to User:
6. On a web page at first there are displayed small versions of photos called miniatures or thumbs.
7. If User click to any miniature, then there is displayed bigger version of a photo together with optional photo description and some control items (e.g. buttons)which enable sequential show of other gallery photos.

Since December 2010 YASIG gallery gained support with use of additional 'yasiguncle' extensions. From now on at One's disposal there are the following extensions:

2. Loading of the photos to J! server file system.
3. Choose an article where One'd like to put YASIG photo gallery.
