JO Image Gallery is a lightweight and flexible Joomla 5 plugin designed to create stunning image galleries with ease. Using a simple shortcode, you can display images from specific folders in your Joomla site with customizable layouts, hover effects, and responsive designs. The plugin integrates seamlessly with Fancybox, providing a modern lightbox experience for your users.

Whether you're building a portfolio, showcasing products, or sharing photos, JO Image Gallery makes it easy to manage and display your images professionally.

Key Features:

★ Simple Shortcode Integration: Use the {jogallery} or a predefined shortcode to display galleries directly in Joomla articles. Specify a folder name (e.g., {jogallery}my-folder{/jogallery}) or rely on the default root folder.
★ Customizable Root Folder: Set a default root folder (e.g., images/galleries/) in the plugin settings. All gallery folders are rooted under the specified directory for better organization.
★ Responsive Layouts: Choose from predefined Bootstrap column classes (e.g., col-auto, col-6, etc.) to control the number of columns displayed. Fully responsive design ensures galleries look great on all devices.
★ Multiple Themes: Select from three beautiful themes: Default, Minimal, and Elegant. Each theme comes with unique styles for borders, spacing, hover effects, and overlays.
★ Hover Effects with FontAwesome Icons: Add a magnifying glass icon overlay that appears when users hover over images. Optionally load FontAwesome icons if your Joomla template doesn’t already include them.
★ Custom Image Dimensions: Set custom width and height for gallery images to ensure consistent sizing. Images are automatically cropped and centered.
★ Lightbox Integration: Built-in support for Fancybox, a modern JavaScript library for lightboxes. Clicking on an image opens it in a lightbox with smooth transitions and zoom effects.
