Tell us what you are trying to do?

We wish to use a repeating image field to generate a gallery.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

We are not using blocks, so this solution while convenient is not available to us: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/need-help-setting-up-an-image-gallery-for-a-post-type/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

We are not particular, any product gallery type display is an option that we can then further style

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The Types Fields API can be used to get the repeating images into a custom-developed shortcode for a gallery:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#image

You'll find an example usage of such a code in the following forum reply:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,
Waqar

Waqar, thank you for the samples and link to the other forum post. We truly appreciate the feedback and support we get from Toolset

We stumbled across a pretty viable solution in the interim based on css styling of the native output from the toolset shortcode for the images field

By enveloping the toolset output in a container, we were able to target the output and create some very flexible and dynamic behaviors.

We will review both options and move forward on our solution, thank you again for your help.
