  • akJoomGallery : simple image gallery for Joomla

    Update: released the  version 1.1.0 with updated prettyPhoto and jQuery plugin. Download link below now links to updated version. If you need to download the old version from google code.

    Adding image galleries inside your Joomla! pages is now super simple with the “akJoomGallery” Plugin.

    You don’t need a specialist knowledge to use this mambot/plugin. akJoomGallery allows you to use images in your content item as image gallery. With it’s help you can convert any content item/page into a cool image gallery.

    The idea for this plugin came to my mind when we needed to show a quick image gallery to client, and we need something lightweight, with more control over how the image is shown in the gallery page itself. We could have used other big gallery components but I was not interested in something simple and quick. Check out the implementation of akJoomGallery.

    This plugin is best suited to those situations where someone want’s to add few thumbnails while writing the content, and would like to display the large size images when users clicks on them, without leaving the page.

    1. Just download the akJoomGallery plugin.

  • akWpLightBox : simple lightbox for wordpress

    I always strive for simple solutions to all my problems, akWpLightBox plugin is result of one such endeavor.

    For quite some time now I was looking for a plugin which is lightweight, and can show images in lightbox like effect, in my blog.

    The effort of creating a javascript functionality for that was putting me off, then few days back I saw the prettyPhoto, it is a jQuery based plugin for creating the lightbox effects for the images.

    This made my job pretty easier, now I can have my lightbox effect, all i needed to was convert it into a wordpress plugin. So I did some modifications to the prettyPhoto to suite my needs, and here is the result of my work. Check out an working example below.
