Gallery Add-on not working!

Hi

OK so I have downloaded the Gallery add-on and its all installed OK, created my first gallery in Perch, setup a Content page with the following code...

<perch:content id="album" type="albumlist" label="Album" />

This allows me to assign a content block to gallery.html, where I can then select my new Gallery I setup in Perch but thats where it ends.

None of the documentation or videos explains what to do after this so that I can pull back the gallery on the page.

Where do I add the code to pull this back???????

Have you looked at the examples that are included in the Gallery download?

There are a number of them. However be sure that what you are doing actually requires Gallery, in most cases regular Perch content is a better fit. The Gallery App is quite old and pre-dates a lot of Perch functionality that is better suited to most things people want to do.

Thanks Rachel, I have uploaded the sample files but not sure how to use these or link to them. I did wonder if the Gallery Add-on was unto date. We are building a site where the editor will want to add galleries on specific pages and blog posts and wondered if the add-on would do this by being able to add a code snippet in the content that refers to the gallery. The other thing is creating almost like a slider for the gallery which would work better on a mobile than the lightbox style / popups etc...

I think there are some things I still need to understand using Perch as its very different than WordPress and CMSMS (for the better!)

If you just browse to the location you've uploaded them, do they run?
