Install the Ignite Gallery module through Joomla’s installer, and go into Joomla’s module manager and select it.

On the left hand side, fill in the standard Joomla module options. The module must be enabled, and assigned to a position in your template. The module must also be assigned to one or many menu items.

There are 7 options for module type:

• The Category type will display one category in the same way that the component will display one category. If there are images uploaded into the category, a gallery will display. If there are child categories, and the "Show Menu Images" module paramater is set to yes, then the menu images for the child categories will display.
• The Random type will display random images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, random images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Latest type will display latest images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, latest images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Highest Rated type will display highest rated images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, highest rated images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category. Currently this option only works with the built in ratings that come with the Joomla 1.5 version, but this feature will be improved to inlclude ratings done with AL Ratings integration.
• The Most Commented type will display most commented images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, most commented images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category. Currently this option only works with the built comments that come with the Joomla 1.5 version, but this feature will be improved to inlclude ratings done with Jcomments integration.
• The Tagged type will display images that have the tags entered in the tagged module paramater, which are also in from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, tagged images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.
• The Most Viewed type will most viewed images from the selected category. If the "Include Child Galleries" module paramater is set to yes, most viewed images will also be selected from categories that are children of the selected category.

The Include Child Galleries parameter sets whether child categories will also be searched for the random, latest, highest rated, most commented, tagged, most viewed type.

The Show Menu Images parameter sets whether menu images should be shown if the selected category has child categories.

The Add Category Links to Images parameter sets whether each image in the module should automatically get a link that will go to the Category that has the image, and display the image.

You can choose any Profile for the module, so if you want different settings for the module, you can create a profile just for the module.

Entering tags in the Tags paramater will limit the images the module displays to images that have one or more of these tags.

You can limit the amount of images shown with the Max Amount Images paramater.
