I am enjoying this product.
What I found really useful is the easy way to customize the style of the gallery. I didn't like to buy extensions also because I was thinking it was a waste of money but not this time. Now I feel more comfortable to buy them.
Also the support was nice and professional.
Thanks!!!
A very elegant extension that works beautifully on my site. Very simple to set up and use as well and a great way to be able to incorporate a lot of images in an unobtrusive way on a single page. Well worth the very low cost to purchase it and then some.
The video tutorial and text documentation on their site are very well put together too and explains everything you need to know about the product in simple and easy to understand way which is the mark of true professionalism.
10 out of 10 from me. :)
I had buy this extension 2 days before! It is working very nice and i can make nice Galleries on my Joomla. After i had a question about this extension the Support had answer me very quickly. I had make 3 questions about the extension and all the 3 was answered me at the same day!!!
This is great!!!
I am currently having issues with this product that is not related to the product itself, more of a template issue; I believe. The only negative coming to mind is the fact that as a new user of the Rapid Gallery forum private messaging is disabled. Users cannot send a message to an administrator with credentials for investigative purposes. Otherwise, this product is incredibly convenient and works exactly as advertised. I would strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to upload images on their site with minimal administration, and without having to resize/rename images.
The extension works like a charm. It is easy to handle and looks really good. I am very happy that I bought it.
AND on top the support (with an error on my side and with another extension - NOT this one!) was incredibly fast and friendly.
What more can I say than "I would buy it again" :-)
I've been looking for a quality, easy to set-up and maintain gallery extension for J 2.5 and this is definitely IT! This is the best I've tried so far and for the price, beats all the others by a mile! Well worth checking it out and putting down the cash to get it, install it and use it. The configuration settings are exceptional and the ease with which it can be configured and deployed is a real time-saver. 5 stars!
