This is an independent review of Scott McCullochs' Simple Gallery Module for DotNetNuke® V3.x. The review looks at the module for its features, useability, functionality, ease of use, stability and value for money.
Module Details
This is a module for managing photos for DotNetNuke. The module displays the photos that have been uploaded through the module, thumbnails them and displays them in a gallery.
According to Scott, this module has been designed for simplicity due to frustration with other photo modules, e.g. they are too complex for most users. This module has been designed to work in a similar way to other core modules.
