For all people with a lot of events there is a great improvement available. You can configure a page size at the menu item level and show only a limited number of events per page. By default it is set to 12 events per page.
Another feature is the new "cart connector". Instead of displaying the internal cart button you can configure a link which can be shown instead. While it was originally build to connect to an external cart, you can easily use this feature to provide a download button for your image. Check the manual for details.
Installation/Update
To update Event Gallery you just need to install the latest version using the Joomla Extension Manager. There is no need to do an uninstall before. Be aware that newer versions will wipe the component folder and remove language files during each installation. If you did code modifications, try to find a better way. If it's just about the language check the manual. I added a section which describes how to do language customization.
Help
There is a manual available here: Event Gallery Manual. It includes a general description of the back end, contains a FAQ section and provides some basic videos.

Release Notes
- New Features
- added option to display links to external sites instead of using the internal
add2cart button. As of now there is a global configuration option where you
can define a pattern for the external link. Make sure you use the internal
or the external cart button only. If you're fit with JavaScript you can
target the new add2cart button and apply a different behavior. The link
contains two attributes data-file and data-folder which might become useful.
- Lightbox uses it's own name space now. This will reduce the conflicts with
other lightbox includes.
- List of events supports paging now
- remove the a lot of configuration options for the events list (the new
feature is the clean code ;-)
- language lookup extended to
language\overrides\language\xx-YY\xx-YY.com_eventgallery.ini so you can
manage your localized files independent from the component.
- Bug Fixes
- fixed missing error messages on checkout page
- updated markdown library to prevent some warning messages in the documentation
view
- fixes issue with flexible layouts. The width is calculated initially, then
the scroll bars appear and the width decreases. The images will end up unaligned.
Now I set the min-width of the container initially to a height so the
scrollbars appear and the width calculation works.
