Gallery Block


The Gallery block is a block that allows you to create a photo gallery of photos that will be displayed as a grid on the page. The photos can also be clicked on to show up in a lightbox gallery that the user can click through.

9. If you want one of the images to take up a full column by itself, you can click on the image in the edit interface. Then under the “Display Options” header choose the “Wide” option. This will result in the image taking up a whole slot for itself. This can help even out odd-numbered layouts.

10. When you click on an individual image, you can choose “Edit Attributes”. This will open the file manager in a new tab where you can edit the attributes of the image, such as the alt tag, description, etc.

Results

Creating galleries on your site can really liven up the content and help bolster the sense of community and connection to the users of your site. Once the gallery is on the page, users can click any of the images to open up a lightbox that allows them to page through the gallery of all the images.
