    Can anyone suggest a good gallery option for the following purpose:

    Website with animal factfiles
    Each page needs a unique gallery to that animal
    One large image with thumbnails underneath


    On my old site I used maxigallery which worked great as I could upload the individual photos onto each page. I have tried Galleriffic from the Modx Extras. The display is perfect, but the way the images are called is a problem as they are called from albums. So I either need to name the albums the same as the specific page and use a call like &album`[[*pagetitle]]` or use the &tag feature. But neither seem to work, unless I manually put in an album name which then means a different call on every page which is obviously a ridiculous idea.

    This is my page at present:

    http://revolution.pawsforwildlife.co.uk/spectacled-bear.html

    (please ignore other text and images as they are mostly testers to help get the template in place)

    Regards,

      you could try MIGX (with a dynamic resource-specific mediasource)

      here's a setup - example with a multifile - uploader (works also without)

        you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

        Hi Bruno, do you know of any links where I can see a basic working example of MIGX? I am still new to code so would like to see the end product as well
        Thank you

            I have just been watching some of the video. So from what I grasp, each page will have a MIGX TV that you can upload images to, meaning that each page can have different images display in it's gallery, but all with a simple call like

            [[!GetImageList? &tvname=`gallery` &tpl=`my_template`


            It looks like what I am after, is there a way to have the selected image large as in my example and with the thumbnails? It's not compulsory.

              you can have every output, what you like and you can use any javascript-gallery out there.
              Also the gallerific, if you like that.

                  here is something about galleriffic
                  http://www.twospy.com/galleriffic/index.html

                  and about MIGX

                  http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/migx

                  you just need to put all pieces together

                    Ok I may look for some examples, this seems a little over my head at the minute

                      Hi Bruno, I have just uploaded and tried MIGX. At present instead of images I am getting the following on my template:

                      Array
                      (
                          [MIGX_id] => 1
                          [title] => dog
                          [image] => 
                          [_alt] => 0
                          [_first] => 1
                          [_last] => 
                          [idx] => 1
                          [property.tvname] => gallery
                          [property.tpl] => blog-gallery
                      )


                      I was following the tutorial here:

                      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE9-oZCqy9o

                      What exactly am I doing wrong because I can't understand it as I have followed the video 100%
