Layout question – Custom template

    Hi,

    I’m trying to migrate a site currently using Nextgen Gallery and would like to replicate a similar setup using your plugin. But I don’t know if it’s technically possible.

    Currently, when creating a new gallery, it automatically generates and publishes a new page that links the gallery to that newly created page.

    Then when inserting the gallery into a post, the template shows only a strip with a limited number of thumbnails and counts and displays the total number of images. Clicking on any of those thumbnails opens the previously created gallery page, which contains the full gallery with all the thumbnails, where the user can interact with each of them through Lightbox.

    I would like to know if that is possible even with custom coding. It doesn’t matter if one of the premium licenses is required to achieve it.

    I understand that maybe one template would be needed to embed the gallery in the posts and a different template for the individual gallery page.

    That is to say that it would be something similar to the “single thumbnail gallery” but that shows a strip of thumbnails in the publications instead of only one, but that clicking on any of the small images and opening each gallery’s individual page shows all the thumbnails that the gallery contains.

    Summarizing:

    ? When creating a new gallery, automatically create and publish a new page linked to it.

    ? When inserting a gallery into a post:

    ?Display gallery title.
    ?Show only a predefined amount of thumbs.
    ?Count and display the total number of images the gallery contains.
    ?Display an “open gallery” button.

    ? Clicking on any thumb or the button, opens the gallery page containing all the thumbnails.

    The following image illustrates what a currently inserted gallery looks like:

    Well, I hope you can understand the description ??

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @sottovoce

    I’m glad to let you know that with FooGallery, you can do all of these that you’ve mentioned in the summary of your points, and it comes with way more other awesome features compared to nextgen that you’ll love! The only exception is adding the gallery title, but that can be easily done in WordPress by adding a text/paragraph block and then adding your title to it.

    FooGallery also comes with quite a variety of gallery templates to choose from, giving you more options than NextGen.

    If you’re interested in testing out the Pro version of the plugin before purchasing it, we do offer a 7-day free trial period where users can use the premium version of the plugin for free during the trial period.

    All you’ll have to do is to install and activate the free version of the plugin and you’ll then be able to easily activate the trial version, and unlike most plugin trial versions, no credit card or payment details will be needed! Here’s a simple guide from us on how to activate the trial version: https://fooplugins.com/documentation/general/faq/start-free-trial/

    If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

    Kind regards,
    Elvis.

    Many thanks @elviiso
    At the moment the project is paused, but I will test the plugin in the next few weeks.
