: Multibox setup
: demokin October 04, 2011, 10:53:12 PM
Good afternoon,

looking at the tutorial page with the multibox setup i can see that it's possible to display multiple images under a single multibox, having one small preview image, clicking on it enlarges it and has the prev / next buttons to go thru a few images.

However i'm don't seem to find how to do that, what i am looking for is to setup a few images on the page, something like a gallery, clicking on each image will bring up it's own set of images via the multibox. Is that best done via the multibox? If so how do i get to display only one preview image and the multibox will have a set of images when you click on it?

What i'm really looking to do is a gallery similar to what you could see on http://stp-distribution.com/en/photo-gallery/

However the exact format of displaying the images is not fixed, i'm just trying to figure out what's the best way to set it up under this template with the tools provided by S5. All the image sliders seem to require having a separate module setup for it, i would prefer to avoid it because the amount of images is growing and having 50+ modules for each is going to be a bit of an overload. It would probably be far better to do it via multibox, but how do i set it up?

Try following the tutorial here and it'll give you arrows between images:

Note you can't do separate groups on each page only one group with arrows cycling through all images on that one page
