Image gallery

MODx has many sophisticated image gallery snippets that allow you to create an image gallery anywhere in the site. For this example, we will be using the MaxiGallery snippet. To get the image gallery working, install the snippet as explained in the chapter on snippets.

1. 1. Download the snippet from the MODx repository at http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=259.

2. 2. Extract the snippet.

3. 3. Create a new snippet with the name MaxiGallery, and specify the contents of maxigallery.txt as the snippet code.

4. 4. Copy the contents of the assets folder within the extracted folder to the assets folder in the root of the MODx installation. Note that it contains two folders that are to be copied:

   • assets/galleries (Make sure that assets/galleries has write permissions)

   • assets/snippets/maxigallery

5. 5. To test the snippet, create a resource with the following details:

   Field Name	Field Value
   Title	Gallery
   Uses template	Learning MODx default template
   Document content	[!MaxiGallery!]
