How to Open Carousel and Showcase Galleries in the Gallery Window
The Carousel and Showcase layouts can open your images in the full gallery window, and you can choose whether visitors open it by clicking the image, an icon, or a button. This is useful when you want the carousel or showcase to stay compact on the page while still letting visitors view each image at full size.
How to Choose How the Gallery Window Opens
-
Open your gallery in the editor and choose 'Carousel' or 'Showcase' in the 'Layout' panel.
-
Open the 'Gallery' panel and turn on 'Show in Gallery Window'. When it is off, clicking the gallery does not open the gallery window.
-
Use the 'Open with' menu to choose how visitors open the gallery window. Choose 'Image' to open it when they click the image itself, 'Icon' to show a small icon over the gallery, or 'Button' to show a button.
-
If you chose 'Icon' or 'Button', pick where it sits from the 'Button Position' menu. For a button, you can also change its label in 'Button Text'.
-
Click 'Save Gallery'.
Your Carousel or Showcase gallery now opens the gallery window the way you chose.
