The next major release of SIMGallery is finally here! Version 5.0 has gone through a major revamp, both in its engine and the interface. Here are some of the major update:
- Fully Responsive Design
- Every single part and every single feature of SIMGallery 5.0 will display, beautifully, on every device type: smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
- Theater Mode
- Just like on Facebook, clicking on links to Photos and Videos will display on a popup. As you browse (without the need to load a new page), the URL on the browser will change accordingly, so your users can share links easily by simple copy and paste.
- Completely Revamped Profile Picture Update
-
Another huge addition. Clicking on the Update Profile Picture button will display a modal that allows you to:
- Upload new photo
- Take photo via webcam
- Select existing photo
- Edit thumbnail for current profile picture
Once a new photo has been added/selected, a cropping modal will appear where you can choose to crop out a part of the photo and set as your profile picture.
- Multi-Level Categories
- Previously, SIMGallery only supports single-level categories. Now you can have up to 3 levels of categories/sub-categories.
- User Names Tooltip Information
- Mouseover any user's names to see how it works.
- Improved Integration with JomSocial and EasySocial
- Integrations with 3rd party extensions are tighter now
- Improved Page Loading
- Delays and slow page loading due to lengthy multiple database queries have been completely removed. Pages load much faster now.
- Revamped Modules and Plugins
- Modules and plugins display images beautifully now, with theater mode working with all of them.
It is really difficult to appreciate these improvements by reading about them. I strongly recommend testing out the full demo to see how everything comes together. You need to login to create your own albums and upload photos.
