Nice way to add share icons

Functionality
Addtoany does what it's supposed to. I tried article-tool, fastsocialshare and sharethis. None were as flexible or did what they said.

Ease of use
Reasonably easy to use. Use the Addtoany website to custom create the button code and paste it into the plugin backend. Edit addtoany.css.

Documentation
Decent. I'd like more examples on their website though.

Value for money
I used this to: I use this for adding buttons to my articles. The plugin overrides some CSS though so you may go nuts trying to find it. If you want small icons edit line 105 of addtoany.php. Change a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" to a2a_kit_default. Not sure why they're overriding.

Getting there...

Phocagallery 1.8.6 is good enough that I'm now transitioning off Gallery2 with the bridge. I have 6000 photos so we'll see how it goes. I have a short list of other features I'd like to see but I'm not at all worried about them being implemented because the developer Jan is a super human programmer capable of coding at the speed of sound. The releases were coming out so fast I couldn't keep up.



In comparison to other galleries Phocagallery has the advantage of being 1.5 native, not a bridge and capable. The code is solid, it's simple to use and install and has good features. I expect it to continue to mature and become THE gallery for Joomla 1.5. I used RSGallery2 for a short time and have been using the Gallery2 bridge for years. Phoca doesn't do everything the others do yet but the code is cleaner and new development is happening much faster. I think Phocagallery is the future.



With Phocagallery 1.8.6 you can now rotate images and recreate thumbnails. In addition to the already present features of having as many categories as you want (and nested too) with the ability to have a theme you have a good base to create nice galleries. In the future I'd like to see more powerful theming, and some new modules..
