Same gallery on different pages

    Brace yourselves - this may be a dumb question!

    I have my maxigallery call placed in a chunk that is in turn placed in my main page template.

    I create my gallery but it only shows the thumbs on the page that I uploaded images to.

    How can I get the thumbnails to appear on every page of my site?

    Thankyou

      By placing your current Maxigallery call in your template, you are creating a gallery for each document that uses the template.

      I’d say you should place your current Maxigallery call in just one document, where you’ll be able to manage the pictures, and use the following call in your template:
      [!MaxiGallery? &gal_query_ids=`your_gallery_document_id`!]


      Check the "Query examples" section in the MaxiGallery wiki page for more... query examples grin

        Yes or using the &view_gallery parameter if you need a way to manage the gallery from the other page too.
