Is this addon even possible?

Permalink
Hello,

I've taken a look through the addon section and can't find what I'm looking for.

Wondering if this would even be possible. Maybe a work around that others are using?

I'm looking for an image gallery that automatically posts a thumbnail with link to the gallery page to a landing page.

For example, I have a page called "gallery" which users click. From that page, I currently have to manually resize, link and post every thumbnail picture for my various galleries. So the user would click on the gallery "green apples" and they would be directed to a page with all of the thumbnail lightbox pictures of green apples. If they went back to "gallery" they could click "red apples" and be directed to the gallery of red apples.....and so on.

Once I go into the gallery page, it's easy with the current addons available to post multiple pictures with thumbnails.

Anyone know of an addon which allows the automatic creation of a thumbnail link one one page and the gallery to be built on another?

Thanks.

I think mnakalay posted a showcase site that did this. I don't know if he made it into an addon.

You can get halfway there by using a page list with images/thumbnails template (there are several variations in the marketplace).

Then on each gallery page you just add an image from the gallery as the associated thumbnail/image attribute for the page.

The home page then shows a page list with the thumbnail/image attribute from the relevant pages that will update automatically.
