Kilter Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hello, Is it possible to have a grid that also functions as a slideshow? The idea is to display several events on the homepage where you can see the event's name/info on the left with an image on the right. Then on mobile, we'd be able to see the information and the event without them overlapping. I can achieve the format I want with galleries but I can't show multiple through a slideshow. Any recommendations, plug-ins, code, templates that could help with this? Thank you. Link to comment

Kilter Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 The Carousel option gets really, really close. The only thing is I'd love for the text to be on the left/right, rather than underneath the image. Any suggestions to make it to that finish line? Thank you! Link to comment

Itamar Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 @tuanphan I have a similar question I have a simple grid and want to make an image click open as a lightbox with a slideshow of all images within the page. How can I achieve this? Thank you! URL: https://quillfish-star-szda.squarespace.com/portfolio/apartment-type-ii Pass: planetapes Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) A gallery block grid layout allows for an image to be opened in a lightbox and then the viewer can click to see the next image. There is no autoplay option because it is not an actual slideshow layout. Think of it more as a manual slideshow, here is an example that looks the same for a gallery block in 7.0 or 7.1 For you to use it with a 7.1 site add a gallery block to a blank section on its own page, in or in a blank section of a project page. You should be able to add a text block on either side of a gallery block. https://myrandomviews.com/views-images#/flowersinmyyard/ Edited March 12, 2023 by derricksrandomviews Link to comment
Itamar Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thanks @derricksrandomviews While I can make the lightbox open up, I can't seem to have the ability to toggle between images (see screenshot) Any idea how can I add this functionality? Thanks a lot! Link to comment
AlleyCatsHotel Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 @derricksrandomviews I don't seem to find a way to add a "gallery block" in v7.1. Please help. Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Exactly where are you trying to add this block? You are missing more blocks than just the image gallery which is currently available in 7.1 for pages, portfolio project pages, and blog posts. The gallery block was not originally in 7.1 but was added back some time ago. You should have it. Edited March 12, 2023 by derricksrandomviews tuanphan 1 Link to comment

Itamar Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 @tuanphan yes please. We are using an image grid and not a gallery block to have a more appealing page look & feel and therefore don't have the option to toggle between images when clicking an image and opening it in lightbox.
