Does exactly what it says it will and has enough features to present a really nice looking grid display. Easy to install and configure even for beginners who may need it to work 'straight out of the box'. Tech support is the best I have ever experienced REALLY! They made some modifications to make it do exactly what I needed it to do for me. Outstanding value for money...other grid galleries I have used before were more expensive but not appreciably better. I used this for a grid gallery for images of original paintings with descriptions for clients selling artwork.

Ho cercato per mesi una galleria immagini che potesse mostrare il mio portfolio fotografico in modo elegante e professionale. Questa estensione è perfetta! L'installazione è stata semplicissima e in pochi minuti avevo già una galleria funzionante. La disposizione a griglia si adatta perfettamente ai dispositivi mobili. Il supporto tecnico ha risposto in italiano alle mie domande entro 24 ore. Decisamente consigliato per fotografi e artisti!

I purchased this component to use it in one of my client site. I like the way that is showing the caption with the thumbnail plus it is a responsive design which automatically restyle the thumbnail position when you look at it via iPhone or iPad. The support team were awesome. I had an issue with the caption wrap. I opened a ticket and they were very fast responding and very helpful. They fixed the issue and they gave us the modified_mod.zip to be used in feature, so this issue will not be happen again. I really highly recommended this component to everyone.

Diese Galerie-Erweiterung ist genau das, was ich für meine Design-Agentur gesucht habe! Die Installation war kinderleicht und die Konfiguration intuitiv. Die Präsentation der Bilder im Raster ist wirklich professionell und passt sich perfekt an verschiedene Bildschirmgrößen an. Als ich eine Frage zur Anpassung der Bildunterschriften hatte, bekam ich innerhalb eines Tages eine hilfreiche Antwort vom Support-Team. Absolut empfehlenswert!

J'ai installé cette extension pour mon site d'architecture et je suis impressionné par la qualité du rendu. La galerie s'adapte parfaitement à tous les formats d'écran et met vraiment en valeur mes projets. L'interface d'administration est claire et intuitive, même pour quelqu'un qui n'est pas très technique. Le support client a répondu à ma question en français en quelques heures. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent!

FAQ
Questions about Woomark Image Gallery
Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.
What is Woomark Image Gallery 2.6?
It is a Joomla gallery package (module + content plugin + editor button) with a Pinterest-style masonry layout and a modern vanilla JavaScript lightbox.
Version 2.6 rebuilds the extension for Joomla 4 / 5 / 6 with filters, hover captions, WebP caching, video slides, and SEO schema.
Do I need both the module and the plugin?
No. Install the package once.
Use the module for module positions. Use the plugin for galleries inside articles.
What is included in the install package?
pkg_wookmark_gallery_2.6.zip installs three extensions:
- Site module: Woomark Image Gallery
- Content plugin: Content - Woomark Image Gallery
- Editor button: Editor Button - Woomark Image Gallery
Which Joomla versions are supported?
Joomla 4, 5, and 6.
Is the gallery mobile friendly?
Yes. Columns automatically reduce on tablet (2) and phone (1).
The lightbox supports swipe navigation and two-finger pinch-zoom, and scales to the browser height.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
Optional WebP conversion is available for generated thumbnails and large images.
Where should I upload my photos?
Use Content -> Media and store files under images/.
Example: images/woomark-demo.
How do I create a gallery module?
Go to Content -> Site Modules -> New and choose Woomark Image Gallery.
Use the Content, Look & Feel, Lightbox, and Advanced tabs to configure it.
How do I add a gallery inside an article?
Enable the content plugin, then use the editor button or paste a shortcode.
Example: {wookmark folder="images/woomark-demo" columns="3" masonry="1"}
What does Hover Caption do?
Show on hover / focus reveals captions when visitors hover or keyboard-focus a tile.
Always visible keeps captions on. Hidden on thumbs still sends captions to the lightbox.
How do category filters work?
Set a category on each slide, or in folder mode use names like Nature__lake.jpg or put files in category subfolders.
Filter pills appear above the gallery when filters are enabled.
Does it support WebP for faster loading?
Yes. Enable WebP Thumbnails.
Cached files are stored under images/wookmark/.
Can I use a masonry layout?
Yes — masonry is on by default in 2.6 because that is Woomark’s signature look.
Turn it off for a uniform CSS grid.
Does the lightbox go fullscreen by default?
No. The default is a classic framed lightbox (Fancybox-style) that fits the browser height.
Native fullscreen is optional via the Lightbox tab if you want it.
Can I add video slides?
Yes — MP4, YouTube, or Vimeo on individual slides (or with the shortcode video attribute).
Use an image as the poster thumbnail.
What is Schema.org ImageGallery?
Optional SEO JSON-LD that describes your gallery to search engines.
Leave it on unless you already add your own schema elsewhere.
Will old settings still work after upgrading?
Yes. Legacy parameters such as checker, offset, caption_option, and imgcaption are mapped automatically.
Where are resized images stored?
Cached under images/wookmark/thumbnail/ and images/wookmark/large/ (plus webp/ when enabled).
Delete that folder to force thumbnails to rebuild.
Why does my shortcode show as plain text?
Enable the Content - Woomark Image Gallery plugin.
Check the syntax uses curly braces: {wookmark ...}.
Why is the lightbox not opening?
Hard-refresh the page, check the browser console for script conflicts, and confirm the gallery JavaScript is loading.
If a slide has an External Link, it opens that URL instead of the lightbox.
