FW Gallery – Documentation
Welcome to FW Gallery
FW Gallery is a Joomla extension that lets you build polished, fast image galleries on your Joomla site. This Getting Started guide walks you through everything from downloading the package to creating your first gallery, usually in under 30 minutes from a fresh install.
What's Included
Your FW Gallery subscription gives you the core component plus a curated set of add-ons that extend it. The main installation package contains:
- FW Gallery component: the engine, admin UI, and frontend views
- Admin module: quick-access link from the Joomla main menu
- Default design plugin: ready-to-use frontend styling so galleries display correctly out of the box
Everything else (extra layouts, advanced features, integrations) lives in the Add-ons panel inside the component admin. You install what you need, when you need it. More than a dozen add-ons cover layout designs (Classic, Fancy, Polaroid, Pinterest, Elegant), watermarking, social share, importers (Instagram, Flickr), and protection.
Where to Go From Here
This guide is sequential. Follow the sections in order:
- Download Your Files: find your package in the Client Section
- Install on Joomla: upload and activate the extension
- Activate Your License: verify the site so updates and add-ons unlock
- Create Your First Gallery: a guided walkthrough
- Common Tasks: jump straight to specific topics once you're set up
If you get stuck, every section links to deeper reference pages, and you can always reach out via the support area in your Client Section.
