Zoom Gallery installation
How to install Zoom Gallery on Mambo or Joomla?
Note: Zoom Gallery is no longer supported by its developers. Therefore, this tutorial is outdated. We strongly recommend you to use some other gallery application for your websites. For your Joomla website you could use for example the Expose Gallery. Keeping your software up-to-date is very important in order to keep your website secured.
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.

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.
The rest of the installation procedure is the same as for the Mambo script.
At the end you will see a notification that the component integration was successfully completed.
