Elegant Gallery Plugin documentation

First step Installing the plugin. In joomla backend go in System / Install / Extensions - Upload Package File . Select the Browse for file button and select the file plg_e_gallery.zip on your local computer or drag and drop the file plg_mx_e_gallery.zip from your file manager.

After successful installation go in System / Plugin and click in "Content - Mx Elegant Gallery". 

General Info.

Galleries Root Folder, set the default folder path for galleries (e.g., 'images/galleries/'). Create all gallery folders under this path. By default is 'images/galleries/'. If your main gallery folder is in a different location, change this path accordingly.

Shortcode - by default, the system uses {mxegallery}. So by default the shortcode to use in articles is {mxegallery}my-folder{/mxegallery}. To maintain compatibility with other gallery plugins, enter their shortcode here, such as {gallery} or {portfolio}. In this case shortcode to use in articles it will be {portfolio}my-folder{/portfolio}

Use shortcode in articles.

Normal shorcode to use is {mxegallery}my-folder{/mxegallery}

As there are four styles we create  Dynamic Parameter Handling:

Shortcode parameters (e.g., columns, space, layout, effect and filter ) are dynamically processed, allowing users to override default plugin settings directly within the shortcode. For example: {mxegallery 4 2 isotope over 1}my-folder{/mxegallery} sets columns 4, items space 2, applies the 'isotope' layout, applies 'over' text effect, applies filter and targets the my-folder directory.
When using filters, you only need to set the value to 1 if the folder contains both images and videos. Otherwise, you can leave it at 0.

Every parameter has the option below
