Embed gallery in CKEditor

[Christoph]

Hi there, 

I need some help with creating galleries.

I have a really simple Blog running on PW, using just 3 fields: title, bodycopy and images.

The client wants to write some small posts and add some images.

All of the content is put together in the bodycopy field that uses the CKEditor. All is good so far, but if the clients wants to add a gallery, for example 4 thumbnails in a row, and I have no idea how to accomplish that.

I know it'd be easy to create a gallery from all images within the images field, but then to client looses control over where to put this gallery (before the text, after the text, or in between). She could manually put in all the single thumbs of the images, but that's really inconvenient. 

So, basically, I need some tipps on how to embed a gallery between some chunks of text that are managed with on CKEditor field.

http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-hanna-code/ will let you create the gallery using your own php code and the client can simply type:

[[imagegallery]]

Alternatively, check out PageTableExtended:

And here's an excellent Hanna Code snippet by Diogo that lets you choose which images in a page to display

If you want to add a picture slider I can recommend bxslider.

It is easy to use in processwire. Bxslider is responsive and has

all the parameters to fine tune it to your wish.
