EffectIO Directorist Gallery 2.2.1

Description:

Directorist Gallery, version 2.2.1, is an extension for the Directorist directory plugin that adds image galleries to business listings. It is built around the saying that one image is worth a thousand words, and its stated purpose is to help convert website visitors into profitable leads for a directory listing business. The extension lets a directory site present pictures alongside each listing entry, which the vendor positions as the route from visitor to lead.

In practice, the extension lets you create unlimited gallery images for the listings on your directory. Those galleries come with what the vendor describes as tons of advanced visual features and functionalities, so images are presented as a gallery on the listing for visitors to browse. Because the number of gallery images is unlimited, a single listing can carry as many photos as the site owner chooses to add, whether that is a few pictures or a large set covering different sides of one business.

The vendor argues that displaying an image gallery is crucial for business listings because it adds a lot of value and attracts more customers to a directory. The extension is therefore aimed at people who run a directory listing business and want their listings to do more than describe a business in words. The vendor's example is a hotel: a hotel listing that displays a gallery of images of its rooms will get more leads than a hotel listing without an image gallery. The Image Gallery extension exists to make that kind of presentation possible on a Directorist site.

Supporting material is available from the vendor. Documentation for the Image Gallery extension is published on the Directorist website, and questions can be sent through the contact page there. The same site also lists other extensions for Directorist, so a directory that needs functionality beyond image galleries can look there as well. Taken together, the extension offers directory owners a way to add unlimited image galleries with advanced visual features to their listings, with the stated goal of turning the visitors who view those galleries into profitable leads for the business.
