Building a justified Gallery with Lightbox
- Optimize and prepare your images i.e. with https://tinypng.com
- Insert the "gallery" opening tag
- Insert an empty row
- Insert the "/gallery" cclosing tags
- Now fill the space between those two gallery tags with some images from Page Media which you can upload too. I suggest you are using for each image a new row! This will help you to keep a better overview of inserted images but also when moving around and changing the order of images, which has to be done by changing the position/order of the images.
The same gallery but the images in another order changes also the look of the gallery itself. So feel free to "play" and "experiment" a bit with the best settings and look ;-). Keep in mind that the gallery will change the order also depending on the available viewport width. Nevertheless in both cases the Gallery will open up in a lightbox.

Installation
Preferred way: GPM Installation
To install the plugin via the GPM, navigate to the root of your
Grav-installation, and enter:
bin/gpm install shortcode-gallery-plusplusAlternatively: via Admin Plugin
If you use the Admin Plugin, you can install the plugin directly by browsing the Plugins-menu and clicking on
the Add button.
If you wish so: Manual Installation
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires the Grav Shortcode Core Plugin
to be installed.
To install the plugin manually, download the zip-version of this repository and unzip it
under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to shortcode-gallery-plusplus. You can find these files
on GitHub or
via GetGrav.org.
Configuration
Before configuring this plugin, you should copy
the user/plugins/shortcode-gallery-plusplus/shortcode-gallery-plusplus.yaml
to user/config/plugins/shortcode-gallery-plusplus.yaml and only edit that copy.
Preferably, use the Admin Plugin. It takes care of creating a file with your configuration
named shortcode-gallery-plusplus.yaml to be created in the user/config/plugins/-folder once the configuration is
saved in the Admin.
