Zoom Gallery installation

How to install Zoom Gallery on Mambo or Joomla?

Having a component like Zoom Gallery integrated in your CMS script would be a wise choice. This will make your existing CMS system gallery enabled and you will be ready to upload your pictures in a minute.

To start, we assume that you already have your Joomla! or Mambo installed. Please, visit your administrator section by either clicking the [Administrator] button on your home page or by following this url: http://yourdomainname.com/administrator where you should replace the 'yourdomainname.com' string with the full URL address of your CMS.

When the administration section opens, you will be prompted for username/password. Enter the admin user/pass login credentials and press the [Login] button.

You will be taken to the Mambo administrator screen. Now let's install the component. First of all, please, download the Zoom Gallery component to your local hard drive. You can use the following URL to download the latest version of Zoom gallery:

http://www.zoomfactory.org/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=61

When you download the component, the filename should be something like: com_zoom_xxxx.zip where 'xxxx' is the version you have chosen.

Next, let's go back to the CMS administration. Please, navigate to Installers -> Universal option from the top of the list. You will be automatically taken to the Components installation section. Please, click on the [Browse] button besides the Upload Package File area and navigate to the Zoom gallery component you have downloaded earlier.

The integration of the Zoom Gallery component in Joomla is quite similar to the one described above.

Navigate to the Joomla administrator login page:

Once you log in, you should open the Installers -> Components section and click on the [Browse] button in the Upload Package File section. Navigate to the same Zoom gallery component file you have downloaded earlier.
