Adding a Image Galley to your News Story

Sometimes you want to add additional images to your News Story, but that option doesn't exist. This is a quick and very efficient way to create, edit and link your gallery onto a News Story.

This tutorial uses TYPOlight's built-in inserttags. Find out more about them here: http://www.typolight.org/insert-tags.html

Creating a Container Page

  1. Create a new page which will serve as your News Gallery container page. Remember to keep it unpublished, non-searched (so it doesn't show up anywhere on your site, or Google).

Creating your Article container

  1. Create a new Article with a title that's similar to your news story, e.g. 200808 Game Art (to know the date as well)
  2. Create your Headline, Text and Image gallery CE (content elements) as you would for any article

Insert into News Story

Now your article is finished and can be inserted into the end of your news story.

  1. Create your news story and edit its text
  2. At the point where you are ready to add the article headings, text and image gallery simply insert them using the inserttag below. In this example, the Article ID is = 57, so you need to replace this with your actual article ID (hover over the pencil/edit icon to see the ID of the article in the backend)
{{insert_article::57}}

If you only need to insert 1 content element within an article, then you can use the following:

{{insert_content::132}}

If your content is contained in a module instead of an article (e.g. you have the module created already) then you can insert the module directly as follows:

{{insert_module::15}}
