The demand for Gallery has become essential for different types of websites ranging from personal webpages to e-commerce websites.

Typically, each website is set up with its own gallery, which is convenient for customers to follow. However, users will find it difficult to fill in lots of information or steps before showing their galleries. Furthermore, it takes much time to edit a Gallery and requires technological knowledge; worst, an individual Gallery is hard to be upgraded later on.

XIPAT provides you with XP Gallery Plugin solution including effective functions, multi-effects and convenience in use. Once combining with Joomla Article Component, users are capable of changing the content or article appearance easily because your gallery can be added anywhere in the article by inserting the following :"{xpgallery[params]}[image directory]{/xpgallery}" into that place. Especially, each gallery or slide show has its own editable javascript and css. Above all, this intelligent combination makes SEO easier than ever as Joomla Article Component itself has done a good job thanks to its metadescriptions and metawords optimized for Search Engines.

Customizating XP Gallery is rather friendly with users. You can change view types of your gallery in the Default View section of the Parameters/Plugin Parameter box;according to it, you customize other statistics like image sizes (or keep the original size), numbers of rows, columns, length or width of the slide or time of slide transitions. Finally, you click the ‘Apply’ button on the toolbar and return to your site to see the result.
