Hi guys,
I've been using Evo for 5 years and I'm giving a 1st try to Revo this week.
'Gallery' looks interesting, but I didn't get everything yet. Could someone please help me and tell me how to give the first item of a gallery a different template?

Here's what I did for now :

[[!Gallery? &album=`[[*alias]]` &toPlaceholder=`gallery`]]

<ul id="auto-loop" class="gallery">
    [[+gallery]]
</ul>

Each item is using the chunk 'galItemThumb' to be displayed - and that's OK, except for the first one because I would like it to use another chunk.

I certainly missed something obvious in the doc, but I couldn't find it - sorry about that.
Thanks in advance for helping

Hi,

I managed to do this, thanks to MigX.
I made a MigX TV, and made some images for this. Then I used a bootstrap gallery function.
With MigX, you can simply define the first chunk.
The advantage of this powerful system, is that the backend-user can simply define all his images on one page, with the other TV's. He doesn't have to go to a whole different area on the site, which can be confusing for some.

 [[!getImageList?
 &tvname=`galleryMigx`
&tplFirst=`galItemThumb_first`
&tpl=`galItemThumb`
&docid=`[[*id]]`
]]

Hello youfff,
you can use [[+idx]] in Gallery.thumbTpl template
[[If? &subject=`[[+idx]]` &operator=`is` &operand=`0` &then=`[[$first_image]]` &else=`[[$default_image]]`]] [ed. note: wzavhpem last edited this post 7 years, 1 month ago.]
