Shifty Bricks adds two block types to your concrete5 install: Shifty Bricks Begin and Shifty Bricks Image.

PLACING MULTIPLE SHIFTY BRICKS BEGIN BLOCKS ON A PAGE IS NOT SUPPORTED.

Recommended workflow:

  1. Place a Shifty Bricks Begin block on the page where the images will be displayed.
  2. Add Shifty Bricks Image blocks (or stacks of Shifty Bricks Image blocks) containing the images you want to display directly beneath the block added in Step 1.
  3. Publish your edits.

Note: If a Shifty Bricks Image block is deleted the URL, alt and caption data for the relevant image will be lost. If you uninstall Shifty Bricks all Shifty Bricks Image block URL, alt and caption data will be lost. I will try to address this in a future version.

Recommended workflow for using filesets:

  1. Place a Shifty Bricks Begin block on the page where the images will be displayed.
  2. Add a slideshow with the Slideshow block provided in the original concrete5 installation.
  3. For the slideshow Type select "Pictures from Fileset" and choose the fileset containing the images you want to display, then click Save.
  4. Select the slideshow created in Steps 2 and 3 and click Design.
  5. Select the CSS tab and enter sbSlideshow for CSS ID, then click Save.
  6. Publish your edits.

Note: You can display both a fileset (via the slideshow method described above) and Shifty Bricks Image blocks together. If you do this all images will open in lightboxes when clicked; links will be ignored.
