By default, concrete5 comes with a slideshow block you can use to quickly add a few pictures with a smooth fading effect. However, sooner or later you quite likely want to create a more classical picture gallery.

We've already created a template for the content block which you can use to embed a picture gallery within your content. This is a nice feature because it allows you to wrap text around your pictures and therefore provide more information to the visitor.

However, what if you just wanted to show some pictures? Maybe the 500 pictures you took from your last trip to the moon? Adding every picture and link manually would be rather annoying and looking at 500 pictures in a slideshow without seeing a thumbnail is also quite time consuming but adding pictures to the slideshow block is rather easy. Let's turn the slideshow block into a gallery!
