Image Gallery from ACF gallery field

[newillusions]

Hi there,
I’m hoping for a bit of guidance.

What’s the best / preferred way to make a gallery from ACF gallery field data?

I’ve seen the tutorial video and managed to get something similar working, but ideally I’d like to have a continuous thumbnail image carousel [but could do a grid if that makes life easier…] that links up to lightbox style full size overlays.

I’d planning on using the ACF fields mainly so I can not display the section if a post doesn’t have an associated gallery and to make it easier to add gallery images in the posts page, but open to any other ideas if there’s a better work around.

Is there anything that works natively in pro that will achieve this, or do I need to look at external plugins?
I’m currently using the Ethos stack.

Cheers!

Hello Martin,

Thanks for writing in!

To display an ACF gallery, please check this documentation first:

• https://theme.co/docs/acf-pro-and-loopers

Or better yet, check out this video:

Loopers: Setting up an ACF Pro Gallery

Best Regards.

Hi Ruenel,
Thanks for getting back to me.

I’ve seen the docs and tutorial and got that part working.
The bit that i’m missing is creating a lightbox type carousel from this data.

Is there anything that works natively in pro that will achieve this, or do I need to look at external plugins?

i’m wondering if there’s anything within the pro structure that works like this or if I need to look at external plugins / code.

Hello Martin,

Regretfully the lightbox feature is not available in the Pro builder at the moment. This is something we can add to our list of feature requests. This way it can be taken into consideration for future development. All of these items are discussed with our team internally and prioritized based on the amount of interest a particular feature might receive.

Thanks!
