A client ask for some how to show a set of images from a folder in a module. There was nothing available from Joomla Extensions so I wrote this. I have no idea whether this would be useful to someone but here it is. Show ImagesThis is the GJC Web Design Joomla 1.5 show_images Module  GJC Web Design  jPageViews Plugin  metaNoFollow Plugin  VM Live Product Search  Show Images Module Install the module in the normal Joomla way. 
The first step is to prepare the images you want to show. The module is intended to show images in a grid layout so ideally you will make them all the same size and aspect ratio.
This is good practice in any case as images resized in a graphics program will always be of a better quality than resized in a web browser. Name your images all the same and add a number to the end e.g. gjc_logo1.png, gjc_logo2.png, gjc_logo3.png etc.. Create the folder on your Joomla installation and upload them. Fill in the folder path in the module parameters e.g. images/stories/showimages Continue to fill in the nesscesary info such as the file name, in this case gjc_logo. Don't use the number or the extension. Then the extension and the number of images to show. 
There are many other parameters you can configure as listed below -

You can see the images above all have different links..
Number of images can be extended by adding to the xml file
Yes, it's a module that you can publish on any page to any position
I am not a programmer of any kind.
I am experimenting with a website and Joomla 1.5
The idea is that the Main page shows a grid of Thumbnail images. Any image when clicked brings up another page with another grid of thumbnail images. Click on any one of those and another page with another grid of images shows up. And so on.
Would your module do this?

Contact me with your web address etc via the contact page...
It seems good to me, but I can't see the images. The size, alternative text and borders are displayed, but not the actual images (only a blank square is shown). I have put the entire path to the images folder (/public_html/templates/ja_purity/images/albardins).
Can you help me? Best regards
Sorry for the delay in answering, yes, it will display vertically, I have published configured so on the top right.
If you have several pictures (width: 200px)in the same right module (width: 250px), will they automatically be displayed vertically, this way avoiding to put multiple random image modules in your site? Or can you choose to display them horizontaly or verticaly?
