configure a multiimage field

At a glance

The community member is trying to configure a MultiImage component but is having trouble getting it to work. Another community member suggests that the issue may depend on where the component is located, and that a nested collection list may be needed to display multiple images for each CMS item. The community member shares a read-only link to their project, and the discussion continues with suggestions on how to approach the issue. Ultimately, the community member changes the component to Gallery 24, which seems to work well.

Useful resources

read-only link 😉 - it largely depends on where this component lives - it depends on where this component lives - if its inside or outside a collection template - my hunch is that you'll basically need to nest a collection list within a collection list because if you want each CMS item to have a grid of multiple images, then the images themselves will need to be a collection list.

Once I have the read-only, I can easily show you what I mean.

The screenshot is for Projects Template CMS

So this multimage its on the Project Template CMS, the idea is to place 3 images for each project.

yeah you just need a collection list on the project template to populate the images

To be honest though you are not going to be able to use that layout easily. You would have to use some custom CSS with :nth-child to make it happen and its just not worth the effort IMO.

You also dont have any images populated in that field in your CMS.

You won't really be able to populate this gallery that easily with the 3 or 4 individual image fields you have in the project right now - you'll need to upload those same images to the multi-image field and bring them in using a collection like I'm showing you in order for it to work.

Thank you. Well I actually set the collection list, calling the “galeria de imagenes” (mutiimage) and I also set the class con every component of the CMS item but they wont appear 😞
