Hello,

i don't get it. I've read the tutorials and documentation of the modules but how do i call images from my imagegalleries in another page type? In my case i want to display the first (or last, it's not important) 10 pictures of a special gallery on my HomePage or another page type. My Galleries location is in a ImageGalleryPage-Type. Where do i put the php code to extend the other pagetypes and which code?

Can anybody help? I'm new to Silverstripe. I'm running an installation with SS2.3.3, swfuploader, DatoObjectMAnager and ImageGallery.

Thanks,

M.

That functionality is decorated into your site tree with $RecentImagesGallery. See this post:

It's a fairly new feature. Are you on the latest version? You should be able to tell if you have the file ImageGallerySiteTree.php. If that all looks good, I would try $RecentImagesGallery without any arguments to make sure it's not a bad URLSegment or anything.

ok. that's really weird. I used an older version of ImageGallery (downloaded yesterday from your page). I deleted it and reinstalled the newest version (331). After dev/Build/ all seemed pretty well, until i created a new ImageGalleryPage in the Backend. After saving and publishing i got an Website error. After unpublishing the ImageGalleryPage, i can reach my website again. I hadn't even included >>$RecentGalleryImages<< in my HomePage.ss. I'm running SS 2.3.3. Could this be a problem?

Well I can't really say until I know what the error is. Make sure you've turned on error reporting and check your PHP logs.
