Omni Gallery Elements

Instead of displaying an image directly, data for each image is passed to a Concrete CMS Element. It is up to you, as a site developer, to code your own elements to format images and information and then select your element in the edit dialog. Omni Gallery will then use your element to show in a Display Widget or Lightbox Overlay .

Omni Gallery Elements provides element variations of existing Display Widgets and Lightbox Overlays. These function in the same way as the core Omni Gallery items they are based on.

In its basic use, Omni Gallery Elements provides an edit dialog for selecting an element and mapping data to the element. A more advanced use is to map data to an element and wrap it in a scaled box. This scales all pulled elements to the same size, so facilitating the creation of galleries and sliders from disparate element content.

Omni Gallery Elements provides some basic reference elements. These are intended as diagnostic aids and examples of how to use data The real power of Omni Gallery Elements is when you provide your own elements for display. You are not limited to the URL/ Title/ Description/ Extended Description that Omni Gallery uses You can pull in other attributes, multiple images and pretty much anything you can imagine.
