MIGx with Foundation 5 Orbit —What if the page doesn't need the slider?

Yahoo!

I added another line to my MIGx form and then modify the list item such that now the user can input a description that appears in the caption area, AND also enter a separate alt tag so at a bare minimum with no caption on the photo, the image will have an alt tag for screen readers.

I added this to my form:


And added this to my grid column:

For the site I am building I have two locations on my page that essentially have the same type of setup. Both need either an Orbit Slider, a static image or nothing. Same exact setup, just twice on the page with different content.

I'm reading in the DOCs about Multiple forms, so maybe that's the route to take. Build a multiple form, and then dupe the chunks and TVs and change those names to apply to the other area where I need a slider or image.

I started out this process with Mark Hamstra's tutorial on Managing multiple galleries with MIGx. It's been driving me crazy what "set" is in his form. Now it occurs to me that "set" can be used to assign various images to a set such that the user would be able to look at several different galleries within the same FlexSlider. I can probably safely delete that form item because I am wanting to produce essentially two different galleries in two different locations on the page. Multiple Forms must be the method by which to do this, unless of course, I can apply the content designated in the set field to a specific slider on the page.
