Help with gallery CMS

Design help CMS

Hello all,

I am building a website for a blinds company and they are wanting a gallery page that shows roughly 40-50 images all on the one page. There are 4 different categories of blind products, to which I will have filters at the top of the page (ie ‘All’, ‘product 1’, ‘product 2’, etc etc)

My issue is the CMS. At the moment I have it set up with about 20 images in one cms collection, therefor each images is its own item within that collection. There are a lot more images to upload and having to add each one as its own item is very time consuming.

Is there not a way that I can have each blind category be its own collection item and then upload a bunch of images via the multi-image field and then have all 4 category’s multi image field pull into a collection list so that I have ALL images together in one gallery?

Thank you and I hope that makes sense

Not natively. The problem is that if you use a multi-image field, you would need to express it using a nested collection list which has a limit of 5 items.

There are workarounds, like FS CMS Nest which works with FS Filter and FS Load if you’re using them for your filtering mechanic. Honestly though, it’s a lot of effort to setup properly and you’ll likely save time brute-forcing your load.

The main decision point should be around the ongoing admin- what does the client need? Then you’ll know whether to invest all the extra work in the FS Nest learning curve.
