Before purchasing: Which one? was created by Nicola Winzer
Hello,

Sorry, but I realy don't understand the differences between Simple Image Gallery Plugin, Simle Image Gallery Pro and the Frontpage Slide Show. I need to know how it works befor buying it.

Basically I need something like www.danaoscinema.gr/ (this is supposed to be SigPro?), but I don't want the Slide show. I want the images only to change when the user clicks on them. I need to make a showcase for a client. This is not what I want: demo.joomlaworks.net/content/view/36/50/ (also supposed to be SigPro?)

Which extension is the best one for me?

Thanks and regards
Nicola

I think Frontpage SlideShow is what I need. But does it only work on the frontpage or can I also use it on various static content pages? I want to display images with subtitles and not to tease content items. Is that possible?

Anybody?

(This is not the Simple Image Galery: www.danaoscinema.gr/ is it?)

what a shame that there is no proper demo-site für the SigPro.

It is also sad, that there are no answers in this forum. Hopefully there will be more support once I buy a component.

You can use Frontpage Slideshow only on 1 page. There will be a new extension coming out in late August. With this one it will be possible to display on multiple pages. Frontpage Slideshow is (as the name says) a slideshow. Unfotunately there is no parameter where you can tell FPSS how to start (autoplay or not).

No, it is the Frontpage Slideshow.

With Kind Regards,
Peter

You can see the demo of the SigPRO on this page: demo.joomlaworks.net/content/view/36/50/

Here you can see all funktionality.

Oh, thanks for that quick reply. On more unanswered question: Can I only use the FPSS on the frontpage or can I also "abuse" it for a showcase as described above?

Thanks and regards

Hi Nicola,

You can use the Frontpage Slideshow on whatever page you like, just like any other modules in Joomla.

Kind Regards,
Peter

Just to clear things up...

www.danaoscinema.gr is using the "Frontpage Slideshow" on the homepage, but, Simple Image Gallery PRO is used in articles, to display image galleries.  ;)
