Discuss: Image Gallery and Image display
I am starting to use more and more images and finding YACS too basic, so I have some suggestions to improve images:Use an article to hold images (with an overlay ?), the article becomes the gallery itself, but with specific layout options for display formatting of the gallery, eg layout options, titles, descriptions.

NickR on Jan. 28I think I will need to pull in functionality of image/view.php into an article overlay, I hope I can do this. The related section layout should be straight forward.

And of course I will make sure it works with lightbox

Noohoo on Apr. 20I am desparate to get a gallery up and running on a new YACS powered site, can't find any way to do it on my own
This is the first time I've used YACS and I used it because I thought it had an inbuilt gallery - I can't find it.
I'm using 8.3beta31.1.
I also downloaded the gallery mod but there is no installation instructions and I'm not yet familiar with the YACS file structure, where do I put it?
Sorry for so many questions, but it's driving me crazy. N1ckR on May 5Sorry for delays, I was hoping to get the Gallery done for 8.4 release, but I broke my arm (crashed my motorbike) and had a few days vacation and simply not had the time. But, it will be done for the 8.5 release (end of May).
Cheers, Nick .
