Gallery inside a block
I would like my editors to be able to insert a gallery in their pages by selecting from a dropdown in the admin which contains a list of all created galleries.
So far I have a gallery set up and working as per the instructions here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/v/gallery-a-simple-portfolio/
Next I want to move out this code so it can be put into the pages only when required:
<?php perch_gallery_album_images("my-gallery", array( 'template'=>'album-image.html' )); ?>
I've added the album-image template to my group of blocks:
<perch:blocks>
<perch:block label="Quote" type="quote">
<perch:template path="content/blocks/quote.html" />
</perch:block>
<perch:block label="Image and Text" type="image-and-text">
<perch:template path="content/programs/image_and_text.html" />
</perch:block>
<perch:block label="Image full size" type="image-fullsize">
<perch:template path="content/blocks/image_fullsize.html" />
</perch:block>
<perch:block label="Gallery" type="gallery">
<perch:template path="content/gallery/album-image.html" />
</perch:block>
</perch:blocks>
In album-image.html I still have the content learnt from the tutorial:
<perch:before>
<div class="clear gallery">
<div class="wrap wrap--medium">
<h2>Gallery</h2>
<ul class="list gallery__list">
</perch:before>
<li><a class="fancybox" rel="group" href="<perch:gallery id="main" />"><img src="<perch:gallery id="small" />" alt=""></a></li>
<perch:after>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</perch:after>
So now I guess I'm just a bit lost as to how to continue. Please help!
I don't think you're going to be able to do that with blocks. Not simply, at least.
