Hi,

Is there a field type Gallery coming or some solution to use repeating Image field with page builders?
I build sites with Elementor like 10+ mil other developers, but the concern is same for everyone, who refuses to work with crap tools like Gutenberg.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset Blocks offers Gallery block which is based on the repeating image field.
- https://toolset.com/block-item/gallery/

There is no such readymade feature available.

Another way is to display repeating field image using shortcode:

Hi Minesh,

> Toolset Blocks offers Gallery block ...

This looks out of topic or it's just me not catching. Can You explain how to?

> Another way is to display repeating field image using shortcode:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/create-image-galleries-using-repeating-custom-fields/

Can check the code? Looks pretty broken for me.
(I was told years ago it's fine, but look again please)

It seems there is a typo as there is extra closing "[/wpv-for-each]" and I will ask the Doc team to handle.

You can use the following code:

<div class="tb-repeating-field tb-repeating-field--crop">
<div class="tb-repeating-field--grid">
[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-gallery"]
<div>
<a href="[types field='gallery' url='true' align='none' size='full' proportional='true' resize='proportional' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%'][/types]">
[types field='gallery' output='normal' align='none' size='full' proportional='true' resize='proportional' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%'][/types]
</a></div>
[/wpv-for-each]
</div>
</div>

Regarding Gallery block, we do not suggest mix the page builder content. Having said that you should not add Gallery block to third-party page builder template directly.

Maybe you can create a content template from: Toolset => Content Templates, this content template will work as a container for Gallery block and to this content template you should try to add the gallery block.

I recommend that the Toolset team develop a universal Gallery solution.
Enough talking about it and pointing to Gutenberg or some bad views code.
There are competitors out there who can do. You just have to care a little.

Thank you for your input and you can always raise a feature request using the following link:

> you can always raise a feature request

Of course I can fill the form once again, but I can't recall any requested feature positive case. The reality is that you're not even trying to fix the piece of code you're pointing to as a solution.

[Minesh]

Well - as you may already aware that as a supporter its not my role to approve/reject the feature request.

Once you raise the Feature Request, the concern person will get notified and they will take care of it and later take decision based on predefined priorities and many other things.

Regarding updating the Doc, its been already raised and it will be fix as soon as possible. The internal ticket already raised for the issue to concern department.

Thanks!
I will make a feature request.
