New gallery in each blog post

[tch...@gmail.com]

Hi!

nikola newb here - I'm enjoying what I've been able to do so far, but I seem stuck, and couldn't figure out from the docs what to try.

I'd like to be able to have a different gallery appear in each blog post - and have the post display the thumbnails. All I have been able to achieve is generate clickable links to galleries ... which is not quite what I really would like.

Am I missing something obvious? (Quite probable.) Or does anyone have any suggestions?

If you want to embed a gallery in a post:

* Create the gallery (it's just a folder with images in it, by default they are in galleries/)

* In the post, what you can use depends on what markup you are using but for example if you are using markdown you can use

  something like the gallery shortcode plugin: https://plugins.getnikola.com/v8/gallery_shortcode/

So, if your gallery is in galleries/foo and you have the shortcode installed, you can embed the gallery by adding

{% gallery foo %}

in your post.

Hi Roberto,

Thank you very much for pointing that out. It worked fine and seems very serviceable.

I suppose it is not quite as 'neat' as the initial presentation of "pure" galleries, but it is absolutely fine for my uses - so thanks again!

You can always tweak the template it uses!
