Getting started is very easy!
Import/Download the extension and install it like every other extension.
Include the static TS (from extension) in the template record (your root TS or make an ext. template just for the page where you want the SmoothGallery be displayed). The steps for the real beginners are:
Select your root/first page.
Click in the menu on the left side “Template” and choose “Edit whole record”.
Scroll down until you see the the same thing as in the screenshot shown.
Search for the “SmoothGallery” entry on the right side, click on it to get it on the left side.
Press “Save” and you are done.
Configure the extension using the flexform settings – See the exact steps below (it is still very easy)
To show all images from a directory you need to do the following steps:
Follow the steps 1-2 from before
Add the relative path to the directory where the images are and don't forget the / at the end! The path looks like fileadmin/myimages/day1/
Add titles and descriptions to the images if you want. One line = One image. Title & description are separated with the | (“pipe”). So it looks like
Title 1 | Text 1
Title 2 | Text 2
Title 4
Title 5 | Text 5
Important & nice-to-have: If the extension rgfolderselector is installed, you get a very nice wizard to select the folder (No mistyping and checking the path with FTP tools/extensions anymore).
To show images from records you need to create first of all some records. Select a page or sysfolder and create a record “SmoothGallery Image” and add there a title, description and an image. Then follow these steps:
Follow the steps 1-2 from before
Add the plugin somewhere to the page and select “Images from records” in the dropdown in the flexforms.
Add the page/sysfolder where you saved your records to the starting point.
This just works with css_styled_content.
To show the SmoothGallery inside a content element, follow these steps:
Follow the steps 1-2 from before.
Create a content element “Text with Image” and fill it with text and images.
Activate the checkbox “Activate SmoothGallery”.
Please take also a look into the chapter Configuration -> Images from tt_content!
The extension handles also records from DAM. To show images from DAM follow these steps:
Follow the steps 1-2 from before.
Add the plugin somewhere to the page and select “Images from DAM” in the dropdown in the flexform.
Select the images you want to display.
Using the DAM category selector works as “Images from DAM” - just select “Images from DAM (categories)” instead
