The developers of JoomGalleryfriends continue to work diligently and voluntarily on the development of the future JoomGallery 4 for versions of Joomla! 4, Joomla! 5 and also for Joomla! 6, which will be released in two years.
Unfortunately, there are only a few of us who are driving development forward. We are looking for help at any time to make faster progress.
The third alpha version of JoomGallery 4.0.0 has just been released.
With today's release of the alpha3 version of JG4, we now need a lot of testers to check the current status of JoomGallery 4 for possible errors.
This version is compatible with Joomla! 4.x and Joomla! 5.x compatible.
Compared to Alpha2, there are essentially the following changes:
Troubleshooting in the migration
The existing and extensive migration script for migrating from JoomGallery 3.x to JoomGallery 4.x has been improved and some errors have been fixed.
You can find more information and two videos here: Migration: Jg3ToJg4
- Applying the ACL (access control lists) to the backend Views
Rights management was and should again be a great feature of the new gallery. We have already built a lot into the backend
- Introduction of the infinity scroll, load more button, lightbox view for the category view in the frontend
Initial work on the views for the frontend described above has been carried out.
- ... and many other smaller adjustments and optimizations of the existing things
Attention!
This version of JoomGallery is still under development. Do not use this version on a productive website. It is only intended for testing and trying out.
An update from the alpha I or alpha II version to the current alpha III is not possible! Please uninstall the previous versions and reinstall the alpha III and then test it!
The Alpha3 version can be downloaded HERE!

And now you come into play!
Download the newAlpha3 version, you can upload it to your Joomla 4.x or Joomla 5.x test page as usual using the Joomla installer.
After that you will find the JoomGallery4 alpha3 version in the components of your installation. Now take a look at what is already working and what has been changed. For example, test the image upload, category creation, tags and if you have a JG 3.x, of course the migration script! Maybe you will find some errors.
VERY IMPORTANT, you must report the errors to us so that we can work on them.
What is this alpha version really?
The alpha version shows the current development status of the component on its way to the first stable release. We have reached a development status that can be installed and operated relatively error-free. We would like to share this development status so that everyone can get an idea of the development status and operation of the new JoomGallery version. We also want to expand the circle of testers in order to receive even more feedback from users and to further refine and optimize the component.
What is this alpha version NOT?
This is not a stable release. Do not install this version in a productive Joomla! installation under any circumstances. This developer version still contains errors which, in the worst case, can lead to data loss. However, we encourage everyone to try out this alpha version and share your experiences and any bugs you find with us.
If you have already installed the Alpha1 or Alpha2 version, you must first uninstall it. There is currently no update path to update from an old JoomGallery 4 version.
How can I report bugs I find?
We prefer it if you open the bugs you find directly on GitHub in our development repository as an issue. This ensures that the bug is also checked by one of the programmers and not forgotten. If you don't know what to do with it or don't feel confident enough to post on GitHub, you can also report the error in the forum. We will then record your error correctly on GitHub.
How can I help?
The JoomGallery is a voluntary open source project. We live and consist of the community, i.e. the users of the JoomGallery. Help us to (further) develop the JoomGallery and make it available.
