Insert Gallaria in content block

Permalink
Hi everyone.

I am newbie in Concrete5 and I really like it becaus of its easyness and clear interface.

I am already planing to create my own theme.

But now I need some help inserting a Gallaria in a Content Block.

Is this actually possible? When yes: How do I do it?

Not really possible (I mean, anything is possible, but not in a reasonable amount of time!).

Is there a reason you can't add a content block, then add a galleria block below it, then add another content block below that with the remaining text?

Yes there is a reason behind it.

I would like to use a tabel 2 rows and 2 column in a content block. right side of the table i would like insert a gallaria or more better a slideshow so my visitors see left on the table short information and right a set of slideshow/gallaria.

There may be a better solution to get what you need than trying to put a galleria instance inside a content block. To help me visualize exactly what you are after, could you possibly attach a screenshot or graphic of some kind that shows what you need?

Here is a screenshot.
I've solved the problem for now with a photo collage.

Would splitting the area into layouts work? Two side-by side columns would let you put content block in one, galleria in the other...

I also needed to add a gallery as a block and my solution was to make my own block based onhttp://pikachoose.com/

What I did was the following:

view.php = Builds up the required gallery structure
controller.php - on_page_view() = Here I add the picachoose javascript and my custom javascrip

gallery.js = Here I binded my function with the animationEnded function and made certain areas in the page change by using jquery. I basically had an area where the text was placed and one area where the logo was placed.

The point here being, you can fairly easily build your custom block to support what ever gallery you need. The hardest part is making the edit page nice so that you can easily control the gallery.

If someone is looking to do this, I have some boilerplate code that shows you how to implement pretty much any jquery/javascript image gallery as a Concrete5 block. Most importantly, it contains the add/edit dialog so users can choose a fileset -- you just need to implement the front-end. I've included a bunch of front-ends already (Galleria being one of them) as examples. Some need tweaking in the CSS to get working properly, but should be a good start if you need to build your own gallery:
