Do you have a link I can look at?
Ideally I want to just have a grid of images below this page. (http://jabernard.net/clients/atlantic-2/Cooling-Towers/)
This page is what I want below the content (http://jabernard.net/clients/atlantic-2/new-imagegallerypage/)
You can use RecentImagesGallery() for that.
$RecentImagesGallery(number_of_images, url_segment_of_gallery)
The default values are 5, and the URLSegment of the first ImageGallery in the database, so if you just have one ImageGalleryPage, you don't need the second argument, and if you only want 5 images, you can leave that argument out, too.
I see. What are the steps for doing that, not a developer.
Where do I put:
RecentImagesGallery()
and
$RecentImagesGallery(number_of_images, url_segment_of_gallery)
And this will allow me to have my page layout with a group of thumbnails on the page?
If you're not a developer, Silverstripe is going to be a real uphill climb for you... are you at least working with a developer who can do this stuff?
It sounds to me like you just want to associate images with a page.. not have a whole section of your site as an image gallery. If that's the case, you need to set up that relationship and use an ImageDataObjectManager on your page. That way you don't have to deal with the ImageGallery module and do it the way you want to.
But again, without any development chops, you're going to have a really hard time. Silverstripe isn't a whiz-bang CMS.. it's a programming framework more than anything.
For the most part I have done everything myself. I understand .css and .html. But .php is something I am trying to learn.
You are right about me wanting to just have a specific gallery for a specific page. At one point I was able to populate a page with multiple galleries without the content disappearing. And I didn't touch any .php.
I am looking for a developer who can help me with Silverstripe. Especially for this particular job I am doing. Are you available for hire?
