Looking for gallery add-on
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I'm thinking about rebuilding a site using C5, but it hinges on whether or not I can find a way to easily do a certain task. It's a historic site and the majority of it is basically a collection of photo and doc archives. I really need to automate the importing of images into galleries as much as possible. The way I would like to have each page, is a single thumb to the left, and then a fairly large text caption area to the right of each. Enough to have a few hundred characters min. In other words, I'd like that all showing on the thumb page. This seems to be a rare feature. I've looked through all the gallery add-ons and I don't think I've found one that can do that. Most are just focused on the visual orientation of the pics, or maybe just allow a caption drawn from the file name. Also, I need to be able to dump a batch of pics in at one time. Has anybody seen anything like this?

It uses filesets so you just batch upload all your images to the file manager, you add them all at once to a file set and you select the file set when adding the gallery to the page.
As for the longer text, you can add a file attribute to your images and make it a WYSIWYG text editor. Then you make the gallery use that attribute for your text. That's the part where you need a little bit of code. Probably about 5 lines of code.
