Simple Image Gallery Extended (SIGE) provides a dynamic platform for integrating images into your articles. Its specialty is its versatility, as each parameter can be managed directly through syntax calls.
SIGE Pro is a server-side component that gives users the ability to manage galleries directly from the server side of the site. This optimizes workflow, provides advanced control and provides a complete overview of all galleries, which greatly improves the management of a large volume of images.
The Pro version of the server component allows you to directly upload and edit images, efficiently handling complex tasks. This significantly reduces load times and improves overall site performance, especially when processing large images or creating extensive galleries, making SIGE Pro a powerful tool for creating high-quality professional image galleries.
The "Editor" button that complements SIGE makes it easy to adjust settings in an article, streamlining the image integration process.
SIGE's main features include direct parameter recall, watermark function, IPTC data reading, thumbnail storage, image cropping, various sorting options, list output, CSS image tooltip and edit button.
One of the outstanding innovations of SIGE is the turbo mode. Unlike other Joomla! plugins, turbo mode significantly speeds up the image loading process by creating two text files from the gallery's HTML output. These files are then loaded on consecutive runs, and thus avoiding the need to process each image individually. In tests with 50 large images, creating a gallery with features such as saving thumbnails, creating watermarks and resizing the original image is significantly faster in turbo mode.
