Upon request from the community, we created 2 modules that enable you to use external components for comments within Joomagallery, as an alternative to JG's native comment functions.

If you have JComments installed on your website, use the JoomJComments module to extend it's functionality to JoomGallery. JomComment users can use the JoomJomComments module to accomplish the same.

With either module, it is possible to allow comments on categories as well as on individual pictures in JoomGallery. The respective descriptions will tell you how.

Don't forget to deactivate the native comment functions in the configuration manager if you use these modules.

Finally, we also offer a new plugin for JComments/JoomJComments that displays the number of comments near the JoomGallery thumbnails.

 

Have fun!

Everything else you can read in the file 'changelog.php' in the admin folder of the gallery.

The update component is also available for updating JoomGallery 1.0 as promised. After this update the legacy-mode can be deactivated (if there are no more installed components using it). In both cases please do not forget to make a backup before.

For first test we can offer a migration script which can migrate from the PhocaGallery to the JoomGallery. If you need it you can download it in the same way as the language files and install it by the installer. We are planning to offer migration scripts for several kinds of galleries.

With the release of the JG 1.5.0 we also publish a new version of the JoomImages module. With this version you can now use a 'Slide Show'.

Within the next days we will publish further extensions (also new ones). So it is worth to visit our site regularly. With already installed extensions the update checker will inform you about new versions automatically (in case that it is not deactivated).

Because bugs and other problems may arise at any time our forum and the bugtracker at Joomlacode.org are also furthermore at your disposal. We would be pleased to get your feedback after the update you will find a lot of not translated language constantes. Please do not forget to install the actual language file.

While we are actively working on advancing JoomGallery 1.5 from Release Candidate to a stable version recommended for everyone, we are not neglecting the 1.0 branch in the meantime. After the first release of the "stable" 1.0.0 we fixed some bugs and backported some small features from the 1.5 branch. Larger features, however, will only be introduced in version 1.5 or a later release. We recommend any users of JoomGallery 1.0.0 to upgrade to 1.0.1.

Amongst others, we fixed some bugs in the Javascript-Popups and Cooliris, and the comment spam which could occur in some configurations is now prevented. The user panel is now paginated, so there should be no more problems for users with many pictures. We also updated the interface to the state of JG 1.5, so now you can also use all functionality of GalleryTab 4 with JoomGallery 1.0. AS always, you can find a detailed overview of all changes in the changelog in the zip file (administrator/components/com_joomgallery/changelog.php).

To install JoomGallery 1.0 anew, just use the Installation-Zip v1.0.1. To upgrade, you need to replace all JoomGallery files with the corresponding ones from the Update-Zip. Open the configuration manager afterwards to start the upgrade procedure. In any case, we recommend a prior backup of your site (files and database).
