Setting up galleries with columns

Permalink
I want to set up a gallery page with columns so that my images look equally spaced on the page. I have tried setting up a 'layout', but cannot work out if it's possible to add gallery images to it, i.e. one thumbnail to each cell created by the layout that are clickable, and when clicked on, open the thumbnail in a lightbox.

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know which block you are talking about, but in this case, you have to make a template for the block, where you code the way you want to present your gallery..

this is done by taking the view file of your block, and copy that to blocks/<yourBlockName/template/<yourSelectedTemplateName>/view.php


now you can edit the way you want to present your gallery...

you just add the template to the block by clicking it and choose "custom template" and your template should be present..

hope this helps you!

i don't think you can do this with the galleria image gallery, as he made it badly so that you can only have 1 per page..

I made a free addon that solves this exact problem -- you should try out the "Sortable Fancybox Gallery" in the marketplace and see if it suits your needs:
